Well I just brought home my two new babies.

Two cut down 18L kegs which are now 15.5L in size.

Bring my tally to 4x19L, 2x15.5L, 2x12L

Will chuck a photo up later.

Cos my chest freezer is only a 113L.

I can fit one 19 or 18 and then a smaller 12L on the step.

Now I have the 4 19s running the rotation on the lower section and the 15s and 12s doing the job of the stepped area.

Well The plan was to turn the 12L kegs into he party kegs, but now I'm going to get some 8L vessels so I can make a 20L batch and keg 12 and 8 from it. and save the 15s for big beers.

Sounds like an awesome plan to me buggy, i only have 4 kegs that are all 18 L so i am a little limited, but it works for me, it just means i have to bottle a few from each brew as well :lol: :wink:

Buggy you blow me away.

You said you are a fridgy. WTGR I would have thought you could knock up a custom box, gas up the bits and have any shape brew fridge you cared for.

Cheers, Geoff.

I live in bondi. So my beer taps are in my lounge room(sunroom off lounge room to be exact).

If I lived down the coast in the outback like you :wink: I'd have a whole cool room.


Actually recently been looking at buying a place with enough space for me to set up a mini cool room. Got all the bits sitting at work besides the paneling
