That's a 32 gal galvanizd steel trash can, lined with insulation. The next day, at 2pm, there was still ice surrounding that keg.

Worked like a charm. I call it the ghetto kegerator.

The puter was for music. Not connected to the keg.

Although... I think it kept filling my cup for me...

Screw you, ya bastid!

I've seen kegs put in big tubs of ice before, but they always seemed to be replenishing the ice. As a former engineer (boiler tech) I have all kinds of ideas on how to keep things hot or cold floating around in my head.

I wanted the black, foam insulation (works great on chill water lines) but all they had in that regard was already formed to fit pipes. No big sheets of it.

But they did have the insulation you see, in a $10 roll. It's thinner than the black foam, but it went around twice.

My plan was to put the lid on after refilling my beer, but the european tap was a lot taller than mine. So I draped a wet towel over it and that worked.

$18 for the trash can, $10 for the insulation, plus tax. LOL!

Went to my company's x-mas party at the yard house last Friday. That's what I was drinking the whole night!!

Thanks again MACS!!!

I love it!!! As an HVAC guy I applaud you, I can see me making something like that. As a matter of fact, hoppefully you haven't sent the patent in, I may steal this design one day.
