Hey that looks very cool. Anyone actually used this? I too am beginning to research the best way to control all three burners from one manifold and one tank.

Count me in. Great stuff

Most of what you did should work just fine. As Papazian always says, "don't worry dude, have a home brew"... Or something like that! My only suggestion based off my experience (translation screw-ups) is to get better yeast control under your belt. That one step effects the flavors in your...

Apparently, there is a science to the length of tubing you will need from the keg to the faucet to provide you with the perfect pour. Too little tubing = too much foam, too long = trickling beer... I used the formula on BeerSmith for this. Now there are two practical choices in tubing: PVC...

It's 26" wide and not sure about the depth, but probably about 18-20" with the door closed and accounting for the built-in shelves on the inside of the door.

With the gas side all done, a few beers already drank... it was time to begin work on the liquid side. I decided that even though I have a 6 keg capacity, I would install just 5 taps. The major factor in this decision is that I brew in 10 gallon batches, so it's rare that I ever have 6...

Once the physical construction was finished, it was time to move on to the gas side setup. For this, I planned to keep the CO2 tank on the outside of the fridge. I wanted to have the line come in as close to the back of the fridge as possible. Also given the configuration of my two 3 port...

Well it was a busy weekend. I completed work on the fridge conversion and kegged my Triple. In the process I killed my keg of Wit, and bottled off the last of my Pils. All in all, a GREAT weekend! So here is the documentation of the fridge conversion for anyone thinking to do the same...

Good call TomSD. I was thinking of putting something ornamental on the freezer door, like my logo as well as places above the tap handles for beer labels. But as I said before I want to get the utilitarian aspects of this all setup first, then focus on the faucet comparison, THEN I can make it...

Explain... what do you mean a "stop" on the fridge door?

Well, I got everything in hand that I need and started putting everything together last night before I drilled the fridge to make sure I have everything. The darling wife picked up a 6 pack of Hex Ourtoberfest from Magic Hat for the occasion. It was good. So here is what I've bought for my...

Got the rest of my parts yesterday. Construction is a GO for this weekend. I'll post pictures of the progress as well as all the parts beforehand. I plan to lay everything out in a "dry run" to make sure I have everything I need before I begin cutting holes in the fridge!

Haha. At least you're not into wine. They use descriptors like wet dog and cat pee. Yummy!

Got the Perlick 525 and the shanks today from Farmhouse Supply. DAMN they ship fast! Too bad my gas side isn't here yet, I would have liked to start with that this weekend... I'll post my materials list and pictures once I have everything in hand.

As an update to this problem I had with my Blonde... I guess time heals all, including the band-aid taste I had in there. Just tapped the keg again and it tastes great... Too bad too, I dumped one of the kegs already (I brew in 10gal batches). Lesson learned.

Yeah I was actually thinking to leave it outside the fridge and run the hose from the side, near the back. It's a little bit of Russian Roulette hoping to not nick any lines, but I think the odds are in my favor.

I placed the order for a bunch of crap. Few hundred dollars just got forcibly removed from my back pocket. I got the distributor, hoses, and all the gas side connections for 6 kegs. I got liquid side connections for 3 kegs. We're going to play with three faucets to start with (links for...

BTW... the magnets came with the fridge... Yeah... That's it... NOT mine, definitely... nope... they were from the previous owner. Yep! And NO... That is NOT Dr. Pepper. Though minion #1 would surely appreciate if it were! Was just too busy to clean that particular keg prior to bottling...

This is my first contribution after having learned so much from all of you. I am going to document my piece-meal conversion of an old used fridge into a shiny new kegerator. Why did I chose to convert a fridge and not a chest freezer you ask? Well, I see that many people in fact use chest...

Did you change hoses or do/did you use rubber or garden hosing? I read on another board that this could contribute to the problem. Now... I use well water but I don't use it from a hose. HOWEVER, I do use a garden hose for cleaning and final rinse. THIS may be the culprit. I am going to...
