Drip tray for keezer?

Post by bwarbiany »

I'm getting to the last stages of my keezer build, and one of the final open issues is the drip tray. Anyone have any good options?

I like the idea I've seen of doing drip trays that are held on magnetically, as that should assist with cleaning. And I don't want to drop major coin on this one, as I'll probably re-build the keezer in a few years to a "tower" type and don't want to waste too much money today.

Thoughts?

A couple mud pans from Home Depot. You'll find them with the drywall tools.

Look for the pan that has welded corners...otherwise it will leak

I purchased my drip tray from http://www.barproducts.com Do a search on the site for "Stainless Steel Drip Tray" The site is sort of hard to navigate, but it will popup in a search. The price is $18.49. I followed the same idea that Sam did with his keezer and drip tray, and used a strong velcro for attaching the drip tray to my brackets. I attached my brackets to my keezer with mounting tape. Works like a charm.

I ended up going with the mud pans from Home Depot. And with access to some very powerful magnets, I think I'll be good to go.

Besides, an 18" drip tray won't cut it. My taps are spaced 5" center-to-center, and when I go to a 6th tap (soon) I'll need a minimum 20" run. So I bought 2x of the 12" home depot pans.
