No, but if you wanted to come pick them up, I bet McKBrew could give you a lift. He'll probably need someone to hold the flashlight

You are my hero. That is exactly what I want! Right now I'm using party spigots. I have that freezer. At least the diamonds look familiar. I am so tempted to copy what you did! Right now I can hold 2 cornys, which is all I have anyway.

Thanks

Mad,

Did you use liquid nails to get the wood onto the door? I could see little brackets if I look closely at the picture, but I assume you used some kind of glue also.

That is a nice rig. Each Keg has it's own regulator and faucet. All matching faucets is great too.

Has anybody tried this with their 7.0 cubic foot model?

Cool kegerator!

I just bought the same model, and have a question:

Some people attach the collar to the lid, others attach it to the freezer body, what the pros and cons of each method?

Thanks!
Michael

I just purchased a used E-Wave 7.2 Cu. Ft. chest freezer (model EWCF7WBX) on Craigslist, only to happily discover than an E-Wave is just a rebranded Magic Chef. I checked it out last night, and I can fit 6 kegs plus a CO2 tank!

Question for the OP: It looks like you're using the commonly touted 19" drip tray. That would mean you have your taps mounted at about 3" on center, correct? Have you run into any difficulties having your taps that close together? The price on the 19" drip tray is pretty great, so I'd like to use it, but once I stopped and did the math I realized I wasn't going to be able to get 4" for each tap at that rate.

Yep, that is the bigger magic chef. I have the smaller one. What temp controller are you plannig to install on it?

The holes are spaced 3-3/8" apart, which makes the distance between the outer edges of the first and last flange 19". No difficulties with the spacing, though you might want to make sure your tap handles have enough clearance if you're planning on using ones like some of the DIY handles that have a wide area at the top for labels. Mine are fairly narrow, so no issues there.

6 standard pint glasses fit on the 19" drip tray with a tiny bit of overlap, so you could technically have a full glass under each faucet. I wouldn't necessarily recommend that, though, unless you're feeling really confident in your drip tray mounting.
