Finished Keezer Collar. Goal remains to keep freezer intact if we ever want to sell it. Added the 10" collar (a place to mount faucets and to raise height to better pouring levels) with surrounding 4" band (back and sides) and an 8" front (to facilitate adding a drip tray at appropriate height in relation to faucets). Keezer collar could use paint but with the 7/8" thick R4 sheathing inside the collar it's ready for product (BEER!).

Added 1oz. Cascade Hops (dry hop) to batch #6 (Cascading IPA)
SWMBO and I split a bottle of (Batch #3) Blue Moon Belgium White
(bottled 7 days). Very flavorful. Some sharp flavors that I am hoping
will mellow with age but otherwise a fine brew!
