Introduction
First I just gotta show her off along with some of my first bottled beer
Materials and Cost
Unfortunately, I did not take any cheap routes for this build. I bought everything new.
You could definitely use an old chest freezer, buy used kegs, and find a cheaper tap tower on Amazon. A lot of these things could probably also be found used on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace.
