Hi all,
I am in the planning stages of building a kegerator out of a mini-fridge. I've targeted this fridge for conversion due to it's size, price, and free shipping. I basically want a draft tower with two faucets, drip-tray, and 5lb CO2 tank. I'd like to have the option to tap a 1/6 keg as well as Cornies.
I also came across this pre-built kegerator for basically twice as much money. It also has free shipping and comes with all the goods (CO2 tank, regulator, coupler, beer lines, air lines, tap, tower, drip tray, faucets and faucet handles).
My question is, will I save any money by building my own kegerator out of the mini-fridge I listed above? I don't have a hole saw rated for plastic (just wood, drywall, etc) so would the cost in tools and all of the additional things I would need to purchase add up to the $300 difference?
Thanks.
