Looks pretty darn good to me d20636. I like the emblem centered in the taps.

Thanks - I was going to paint it white and had a wild thought of inlaying a belt buckle - so I stained instead. My Clemson friends say a Tiger Paw would look better - but they won't turn down a beer either.

(Already had it's first mishap - the 14 yr old manchild was looking inside and let the lid down too quick - have to adjust the hinge spring soon. 2 taps are hooked up - and 2 taps opened up on him! The garage is quite aromatic right now!)

Here is my through the wall project, just about done....(isnt that what we all say)
The full size fridge I used is on the other side of the wall about 4 feet away. Ran the lines and here it is. You dont know how honored I am to post these photos here. There have been some amazing projects!

Looks nice Dan, a very stealthy and unobtrusive approach! I wish my kitchen or den shared a wall with my garage, I would definitely do something very much like this.

Are the lines insulated?

Thanks, yes they are run in dryer venting and wrapped in insulation. Seems to work well. Never have warm beer foaming problems. We will see what happens in the winter when it is 80 down there.

im very jelous of the perlicks..... Next pay check maybe but damn there steep. Nice job with the wall mount. I dont know of anyone who has anything like that so kudos!

Another 4912 completed. Just threw the tower on last night after dealing with picnic taps for a year:



In about a month or so, I'm going to convert my chest freezer so I can fit one more carboy on the shelf and have some taps on the side.

I want to do something like this:

Love the side taps. Wish I would have thought of that. I bet it definitely makes it easier to move kegs in and out.

Yeah i have a Sanyo conversion with perlicks but damn I want more kegs on tap. A chest freezer seems to be in my future...

just finished this yesterday-handles and staining to come. kegging rules.

It'll be perfect in my basement, too...it's tiered so the taps will be closer to the main floor and facing it

Here's my completed keezer - A Holiday 5.0 cu ft from Lowes - Built to match the in wall bar adjacent to it in the basement



Currently a Brown Ale, Black Lager, and a Double IPA on tap.

Iowa,
I'd say you succeeded in matching the wood. NiCe!

I'm trying to think; what's the appropriate penalty for the Miller High Life in the keezer? I mean, no self-respecting homebrewer...
...and if he did, certainly it's some form of blastphemy to keep it in the keezer...

Don't know what I would have done without this forum, Figured its about time to come out of lurk mode and post some pics of my keezer. I just added the collar and perlicks this weekend. much nicer than my old picnic tap setup






The second tap has been hooked up since these pics were taken

Cheers

Well, he needs some beer for the friends and relatives that come over and have no taste buds. Also, I hear you can feed it to your dog.

Nothing special to look at but when you consider a frosty pint is always at your finger tips then surely this is to the beer lover what the Holy Grail was to King Arthur. As for the CO2 lines, red for force carbing and blue for pushing. Also, moving the tank outside makes more room for beer inside!

SWMBO gave me the green light two years ago to convert the spare fridge and I've not looked back. Eventually the chest freezer in the garage that's currently being used for fermenting will be moved inside and converted to a 3 faucet keezer!

I spent countless hours looking at all the posts in this thread while planning my kegerator, so I had to post mine!




The fridge is so huge it can fit 5 kegs + 20# tank





And this is the custom tap handle my beloved GF got me for christmas! Lucky me! Merci bébé!

Its not complete, but I finally have a kegerator. Best Buy just started carrying these. I had to bend the small freezer compartment on top, but it fits two cornies snugly. Its been a long time coming...

I'm thinking of going through the door for the faucets instead of a tower.

Here's Mine:

Damn it! I just realized I left my HBT sticker in MA again...

nothing special, just a spare fridge turned kegorator. I built it to dispense commercial kegs before i started homebrewing. Its in my garage and is great for when i'm in there doing work on my car...and is only about 10 steps from the living room.





i can't decide if i want to move the co2 tank outside and add more shanks to it, or if i want to build a keezer.

I'm still thinking where to put mine. I'm holding out for a stand, but may just throw it on the keezer.

OMG, Pedo bear on your fridge!

How does the fridge handle the hot summers? When we lived there we had a freezer out there but we ended up turning it off because it ran almost non-stop.

That fridge is the sanyo 4912 so no freezer compartment. It popped up on craigslist so I was all over it. I'll get a door open pic up soon. I gotta say, I love having beer on tap in my apt.

Here is my second sanyo conversion. I got it off of craigslist which is why there is a ding in the door. I am going to put a stout faucet on the old one.




I think I am going to get some more kegs.

I started with a GE 4.3 CFT refrigerator. I couldn't move that freezer section out of the way, so I unscrewed it, pushed it to the roof and wired it into place by hanging it from the original mounting holes. The blue stuff is high tech temperature stabilization fluid.

Great minds are thinking alike Mine is very similar but I went for a more "floating" approach. Kind of hard to see in the pix but the tray is about 3" away from the fridge door. There are setscrews underneath that fix the tray in place so it can be easily removed for cleaning.

What kind of adhesive are you guys using to hold the wood to the fridge/freezer?

I'm not using adhesive at all. I sunk a picture hanger into the wood - the kind with a keyhole shape on it - and put sheet metal screws in the door. The tray "hangs" on the screws.

You stole two of my tap handles! haha I really like the chalk board door.

I need to stain them. Also the SWMBO doesn't like them...gets her too riled up
