How did you mount that drip tray?

I feel like its a right of passage to post here....

Here's my brand new baby! Just need the drip tray

This is Holiday 5.3 cu. ft from Lowe's
Inner collar is 2x6, outer collar is 1x8 cedar
Thermostat is the Love's which I love too


convenient cold storage for yeast, garnishes and glasses for the summer:


Many thanks to the author of this page:
PVC Collar Chest Freezer Kegerator Conversion
The faucets are 3/4" out further than the backsplash of the drip tray due to the outer collar, but the tray is still able to catch drips.
The regulators are from Midwest - I love not needing a screwdriver.
Cheers!

I love looking at beer porn, and have referred to this thread many of times-

WHY IS IT NOT A STICKY YET!?!?!?

Mod, feel free to delete.

I finally finished my kegerator!

Finished it tonight!

Doggie weaseled into the shot.




I have a set of Perlicks coming as a Christmas gift, so the faucets should be replaced soon.

Ok, then...put up or STFU!

The kegerator is up and running...just needs a paint job. I don't know whether to keep it white or do something fancier. The freezer was rescued from a foreclosed home and although it seems to be in perfect running order, needed a paint job anyway.

The collar is an inch of foil backed foam insulation sandwiched between 1/4 inch masonite with rock maple trim where the seal was reattached. Since it isn't solid wood I had to reinforce the inside corners as well as where the hinges attach. When open it seems to be perfectly balanced; I was a little nervous about that. Very glad I attached the collar to the lid versus the body. Now I don't have to worry about banging my taps when hauling kegs in and out.

The collar is nine inches high which gives me enough room to put a keg on the shelf with plenty of space for connections.

Here's mine. Although it's not as nice as some on here, it does it's job with plenty of attitude! :rockin:

Here's mine. It's a work in progress. It's a Haier 4 cubic foot that just barely fits 2 kegs. I even had to cut off the things that held the shelves so I could fit 2. I may expand to 2 taps, but one was all I could afford for now.

Love the :rockin: the old fridged air! Nice work- I know you painted the fridge, but is the cross painted on or sticker?

You must have some tall glasses with how far those trays are down

The cross is cast iron and screwed on. My girlfriend bought it to hang on the wall but I found a better use for it.

I hate you guys... I've been wanting to setup a kegerator for a long time now. I think I'll have to get around to it soon. You guys have inspired me.

love the sticker on the frig. Could you send me a close up of it and/or tell me where you got it?????

It's cast iron and screwed to the door. My girl got it on ebay for less than 10 bucks.

Got mine built this weekend, no homebrew in it yet (kegs will get here on in 4 days and I'll get them filled here pretty soon). I have the ability to swap out for homebrew or sanke style kegs whenever I want.

Looking good. I have the ability to swap as well, but mine is a little more low tech. I just put FFL fittings on both my gas and liquid lines where they attach to the keg connectors and I found MFL fittings that work with a hex nut for the sanke tap.

Very nice, what beer from Georgetown brewery do you have on tap? I miss their beer....

That MicroMatic kit is friggin' AWESOME! I'm going to have to do my commercial tap like that!

Its Chopper's Red Ale on tap (SO GOOD) My homebrew kegs are getting delivered tomorrow, so I'll get a couple more going here pretty soon.

Also, while I got everything from micromatic, its not a kit so much as a conglomeration of a bunch of their parts. I upgraded almost everything, Faucets, shanks, tail pieces, are all stainless. The regulators are top of the line, hand adjustable, and the homebrew connects are all removable to hot swap out as needed/desired.

I'm going to return the 6" drip tray, its too small and the big ones are too effing expensive for me.

I love mine:

BM, Mind taking a measurement front to back? I need to make sure it won't stick out farther than the spot I have allotted. I appreciate it man.

Just a pube +/- of 4". I used a 4" L-brackets from Lowes for the Keezer and my rolling kegger and it fits flush.

Interesting, my rig is pretty precise though, what kind of pube we talking here? Native American, Caucasian, or African American?

Here is mine I built a new one last week. I tried to get as much of the stuff on the outside as I could to leave more room inside.

I love the stout tap handle keiths, never seen that before.

Nice selection hopefully Christmas will get me started this way!

1968 ford 4sp knob & did ya notice the 94 Camaro Z28 carbon fiber shifter
for the Munich dunkel.

Finally finished put on the drip tray and figured I would add mine to the thread.

I have been lusting after a kegerator for years. (I bookmarked this on page 13) I finally got a one keg setup and I'm currently using a picnic tap with some Killians. I havent brewed in a while because we just moved to IL from TX. Christmas drained most of my expendable income so now I have to wait or piece my rig together.

Here are a few questions.

-Can I put the Co2 in the freezer and plumb the lines into the fridge?
-Do you need a fancy distribution manifold or can you make one out of brass pipe and check valves?
-Should I get rid of the shelving on the inside of the door and put up some masonite?

I'm looking to put in at least one, but hopefully two shanks soon and would like to make the inside look as clean as possible in regards to plumbing and such. I'm thinking that the tank in the freezer with just a line going into a gas manifold will look neater than a bunch of tubing. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Any suggestions?

I could have sworn I posted mine in here, so here it is. Its not finished, and getting it done is on the back burner right now

As it sits right now



It fits 4 kegs nice and snugly.
