That was the one that inspired me to buy a freezer, I put the stc on it but she nobbled it as the spare fridge!

Still looks as good as new. I'd say a few pints come out of that in the last 12 months:)

Hiya, It a little old, but it's from an Irish company called 'Novum' ... http://www.novum.ie/  so you might be able to hound them for information  :P.
Only thing it says is 'Model number 280'

Sorry for posting to an old thread but I don't think there's much point in starting a new one.  I was just re-reading this thread and there's some great pics posted.  But surely there's a few new ones out there??  I'm toying with the idea of a new keezer and looking for some inspiration.    8) 8)

If it wasn't for the drain on the back wall that's offset by 2 cm I might be able to squeeze in 4 Coca-Cola kegs (with the CO2 tank outside). Had I Pepsi kegs - taller and thinner I'd fit them alright.

So far 2 kegs, CO2 tank and a few bottles.

Fridge thermostat set at 3.5/5 keeps the inside at the constant 2 deg C.
5/5 sets the temperature back to 0 deg C.

Qs

Looking good, I really like the chalk paint look. Anyway you can remove the little drain thats in your way?

Bart

The chalk paint is actually the self-adhesive chalk foil:

1/3 of the back wall is moved 2cm forward and the drain is embossed in it.
If I was to remove it any water coming of the freezing part of the back wall would drip inside the fridge compartment which doesn't sound like a good idea.

I've initially went for two taps only and adding the extra one would disturb the even layout I have now :)

Looks good Bart, was going to suggest raising the kegs above the drain but sounds like it takes up a lot of the back wall.

I'm having a similar dilemma about adding another keg or two.  If I moved my gas outside I'm sure I could fit at least one in, but I'm afraid of putting a hole in the side in case I perforate something I shouldn't.  Anyone know how I can tell if it's safe to do this?

you can get around that by adding a half shelf and standing the co2 on it. You can use the bottom for some storage and get 2 possible 3 kegs in depending on your reg size. I'll send on a pic of mine in a bit.

My setup. 2 taps on the go at the moment but can get 3 going.

The shelf at the back over the uneven step is now home for co2. Was just too unsteady without. Was grand when keg in front was full but as i emptied i wasnt happy with the bottle leaning on. Can turn it and get a 3rd keg in at a squeeze.

I was actually thinking of running co2 to outside and having a cask "off the shelf" keg with gas line with just enough co2 on it to keep it moving. Bit of natural carbonation to keep the real ale folks a bit happy.

Wouldn't have enough room over it to fit kegs in.

That's interesting! Might work. Will let you know

This is my work in progress hence the kegs holding the lid down while the adhesive cures. Just put on the collar today. Its slightly wonky but I'm happy enough with it, I'm just hoping it sticks to the freezer now. It should be cured tomorrow so I'll hopefully have the temp controller ready to go to get her fired up. I can't quite afford taps yet so I'm sticking with picnic taps. It can comfortably take 4 and at a push 5 kegs but I'll be sticking with 3 on rotation for the moment until I get a few more dolla billz together. Will post up a pic when its fully finished and operating.

This is my bar top with a chest freezer underneath

Is the bar attached to the freezer lid or do you slide the freezer out to open it?

Those gas boards from Normanumpa are really the dogs! Mine was only £60 (a few years ago)
