What do you think of my portable kegerator?

Si I figured I already have a couple taps in my bar at home but it would be nice to take some brew with me camping and I don't realy bottle so I built this little thing.

Plan is to have the kegs sitting in a cooler full of ice and this contraption on my table. What do you all think besides some crooked lettering.

Last couple pics.

I think I'd hang around your campsite until the beer was gone!

Giving it a test next weekend to see how it works.

Great idea - let us know how it works

Do you think the beer will get warm in the tubing? I wonder if you could somehow keep them chilled

Neat Idea... almost a jockey-box...

I like the Vertical-ness of it...

Makes me think I might try this and make it a bit bigger to fit in a chill-plate.

Oh great..... another project...

If you drink it fast enough it won't matter.

What are the dimensions on this?

Is it topple proof? Having the co2 in there must give it some weight

I have them insulated with the best Plumbing insulation I could find. 1/2" thick so hopefully that will help but I am sure once they are flowing it won't matter.

20" tall 12" wide and 6" deep, just enough to fit the CO2 and regulator with taps.

Pretty sturdy since I put the bigger piece of wood at the bottom to make a glass rest, it would take some force to knock it over. and with the CO2 in there it is nice and heavy.

I tested it in my garage and it works perfect but the real test will be this weekend out in the desert heat.

Cool thanks for the reply


Lets us know how it goes

Will do.

......

So I took it out to the desert for a few days and it worked perfect, couldn't tell the difference between this and my bar at home. No warm beer at all.

Congrats!

I tried to do something like this for the beach last year but I didnt start working on it until the day before we were leaving....wife wasnt happy. Maybe I will get something else done before this summer.

Took it to a buddies house last night and boy I love this thing.
