Another kegorator build :)
Started building my kegerator tonight!!! :D
Got the holes drilled and the taps in tonight. Still need to cut the holes in the shelving on the door so that I can get it reattached, and build the platform on the floor of the fridge, but it's getting close and I had to share :D http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w...f/P1110532.jpg The taps http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w...f/P1110534.jpg This little guy is my insurance against someone opening the freezer and pouring perfectly good beer all over the floor :( I would have put the taps lower, but they are already low enough, plus I have some scrap cherry and maple laying around that I plan on turning into tap handles when I got some time to turn them out, and those will be longer than the cheap plastic handles that are on there now. http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w...f/P1110536.jpg |
Good start. So, you're not going to be able to open your freezer while the beer is on? If I didnt go lower with the taps, I would make it where both doors opened at the same time, just to have easier access. Just a thought. - Dwain

Thanks, no, I can open the freezer any time. That little L bracket attached to the freezer door catches on the bottom door when the freezer is opened. Which means I can open the fridge without opening the freezer. But if you open the freezer, the L bracket catches the fridge door and opens both. Which keeps the freezer door from pushing the tap handles to the open position :D
I had seen somewhere on this forum where someone just screwed the doors together, and I thought about that, but I didn't want my freezer open every time I was messing around with the kegs :D |
I just drilled my 2 of 4 taps today and made my shelves, (I'll post those pics tomorrow) I bought a side-by-side on CL for $50 in amazing condition and built my shelves to fit 5 kegs in it! I know how you feel right now! feels amazing huh?!?!? no more bottling!!!!

Actually I don't think I'll be giving up bottling completely. I've got a belgian aging on oak chips right now and a porter aging in secondary. I think those 2 will be going into bottles as I would like to age most of those batches for a while. However my wheat and IPA that are sitting in the closet will be filling my 2 newly acquired kegs in the next couple of days :D

Drip tray on, and the hinges moved to the other side for my corner. http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w...f/P1110543.jpg The kegs and CO2 tank. My platform was about 1/2" too long, so that will need to be disassmbled and cut back, but eventually the platform will be in so I can get 5 kegs plus the CO2 in there(the remaining 3 kegs and taps will be a future purchase) http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w...f/P1110545.jpg And a couple of better shots of the L-bracket setup in case anyone is still wondering how that bit of genius works :D http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w...f/P1110546.jpg http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w...f/P1110547.jpg |

Though it might be time for a counter pressure filler so I can tuck a few bottles away for aging..... |
