DavidM Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I've wanted to get a dedicated bench for brewing, I've been sharing my work bench and its not that clean some days. I'm lucky, I have space, so I moved a few things around and using a spare bit of board and cutting up an old Carbon fibre Sailboard mast for legs. I came up with this, will put a shelf above and a storage cupboard for Cans and other bits on the end, one day. Worked out great today. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was using a pair of saw horses with a door on top, worked great but my work bench was behind me and too often I ended up putting tools all over the place as I did other things, got to messy. This bench is just for Brewing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Not completely finished but close! Added a cupboard to the side to hold tins and things. It's now a Brewing corner, very happy with it. (as I said before, I have the space) 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheap Charlie Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Mates are sometimes good for other things than drinking all your beer. Just got given an old beer fridge, started conversion, it barely fits 2 kegs. It will do for starters until I find a better fridge. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to try those nukataps! I do like your setup, that's the kind of fridge I am after. Will probably do the same with 4 taps. The bottom mount fridges seem perfect for 4 kegs, no compressor hump. Edited November 30, 2022 by Cheap Charlie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are awesome, even better with some custom handles, did you get the springs for auto shut off? The deliver a smooth pour & are always reliable. As you can see, I need more kegs, but it is happening before Xmas. NukaTap Auto Close Spring | Child and Pet Safety 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NukaTap Auto Close Spring | Child and Pet Safety Yeah I got the springs, but forgot the regulator valves! Will set it up with one tap/keg only for the time being as I want the ability to set different serving pressures, I was going to ask you for some more photos of your fridge, but these are good enough! I'm assuming you can fit 4 kegs? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it will take 4, it is a 140l fridge but sadly there is a freezer on the bottom, which is a waste, the old man bought it in 1990 & it was my brew fridge for years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
