Ran across you guys while googling around. I have a GE Mini-Fridge (not sure of the exact model) but it's the one that you can find at walmart. One door, freezer compartment. I'm looking to make something that can hold a half barrel and keep it chilled long enough to finish it off. Not big party throwers, just thought it'd be nice to have a keg we can pour from instead of having to buy the same stuff in bottles and cans over and over.
First, can it be done? Can that fridge hold a half barrel and seal shut?
If so, what's the best way to draw from it? I was thinking that we could maybe just mount a pump-type tapper on top, and run a hose down to the keg/coupler. Am I on to something or am I way off? I'd like it to be:
1. Cheap
2. Functional
3. Decent looking
Pumping is not that big of a deal to me, and I don't want to mess with the CO2 and such. I'd also like to be able to swap out tap handles based on what's in there or just if I find some cool ones.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
