Show us your Kegerator

Haha, ghetto! What would you have done? I've got some real handles on there now, but the important part is I was able to successfully pour pints when my order was missing the handles.

in the end thats really all that matters....i probably would have drilled through the bottom of a beer bottle and made a tap out of the bottle. Or just plain wood. Beer bottle seemed like a cooler idea.

I'd post a picture, but we are currently free users - and really, it looks hardly different than anybody elses, except for perhaps our beer glasses on top.

thanks again!

Hey, I was able to talk Krlang (Robin) into e-mailing me the pics of her kegerator, so I could post them up for her.

Enjoy everybody!

Hey folks: Here's my keezer complete w/ perlicks Thanks for all the info over the last few months. I even included a BM type drip tray. He would be proud I'm sure.

Sweet! You and I have the same drip tray!!!

(I just retired my trusty sock last week, picked up a red plastic spackling tray from Home Depot and used indoor/outdoor adhesive tape to mount it on. Yay cheap tray!)

retired it?? they are washable I am not ready for the upgrade quite yet. That tray must have cost you 3 bucks! After paying for the perlicks I had to go cheap somewhere. I had some cycling friends come over for homebrew last week and my wife threw the sock away. I had to retrieve it from the trash just for the picture.

oh what the hell. I keep putting off posting until my kegerator is "done". It will probably never be done. It ain't even very clean or tidy looking either.

But it is mine! I love it nonetheless!



She holds 6 kegs. I have 2 faucets as you can see and then 2 picnic taps. Sadly, I only am able to have 4 kegs on gas at the moment. The plan is to have 4 serving (possibly a 3rd faucet) and 2 carbing/conditioning. I suppose I could have all six serving with picnic taps...

I too am putting off posting till complete. But your's is more complete than mine. So far it's just a chest freezer with LOVE installed, a collar with non-trimmed wood lid, and serving with picnic taps. I just need to get the foam for the tap box, mount the tap box and trim the tapbox and lid. But SWMBO decided to play a game called "no more spending money untill after christmas presents are bought plus both our mom's birthdays, both our dad's birthdays and my step dad's and my brothers birthdays are all in the next 3 months. Not to mention SWMBO's in Jan. also. God this time of the year sucks. But at least we are drinking home brew from the keg.

Wow... some of us cannot even get one kegerator, and you have to go and SHOW OFF that you have 3 separate kegerators....

I can't remember if I have shown mine. But here it is.

Hold 6 corneys. All Perlick taps and SS shanks.

Lines and orings need to be replaced if you don't want that "rootbeer" flavor in your beer.

Stainless doesn't hold flavor/smells like plastic/vinyl does.

i guess im gonna get anew keg for rootbeer only. nice. ill be damned if i wanna clean the lines every time

My rootbeer keg is trashed as rootbeer forever. I have replaced all o-rings and let the keg sit for days in hot oxiclean and it still smells. I have decided it is a rootbeer only keg forever.

Oh and all the o-rings in my faucet had to be replaced too.

I think we should clarify - Root beer requires its own keg, its own QD, its own beer lines, its own faucet - The Whole Mess.

Gotta love trying to clean that crap out.

I just finished the drip tray in-lay this wek-end. Only thing left is trim around the wood and maybe some stick on tiles for the side/front.

Looks nice...

Love the bottle cooler on the left side of the kegerator.

Cause everyone knows chilled "shells" are the devil!

The chalkboard is great after 8 pints... helps keep me straight. Its usefulness diminishes with each successive pint, though, as my ability to read deteriorates.


Taps are 4" apart - I already marked the spots where I can comfortably fit 1 more on each end for a total of 6 taps (if I ever get there - who knows! A lesser man may say that 4 beers is enough.)


My driptray is bigger than yours.

Ravens fan in Chicago? Are you allowed to do that? (nicely done though)

I mentioned in a thread a while back that my one chest freezer was pooping out and I scored a refrigerator on Craigslist, so I finally got it set up and put the taps back in service. :rockin:

I need to look for one of those at work.

Thanks bro! I grabbed on old one at work, put it in the sandblasting cabinet to knock the oxidation off, put a coat or two of acrylic on it, drilled and tapped it and stuck it on there. Also had a bail from a breakaway nozzle but it was too heavy.

I get to drive the firetruck at work sometimes.

balto charlie, i like how you coiled and ziptied the hoses

I like it! Very clean, almost looks like it came from the manufacturer that way. How much did the freezer cost you?

Thanks! I bought the freezer used from a guy at work for $60 + a bottle of mead. To buy the freezer new I think they go for $180-$200.

I still have some work to do on it... securing the air manifold and finding a way to keep the co2 tank standing with the regulators attached. (I should probably screw the hinges back to the collar now too!)

heh - actually there's a Steelers fan right down the road, too - we got some AFC North rivalry action right here in Chicago! I've thought about egging his house more than once... (with purple dyed eggs, of course).
