Nothing pretty, and still haven't added any faucets. But functions great as a 2 tap kegerator and 2 bucket fermentation chamber.
That in wall setup was pretty sweet.
Cheers.
Edit: why app?why?! No one likes sideways pictures!

This is nothing short of inspirational... and I have just the spot to do it. Wow... now you've got me thinking...
Here's what I'm working with... 33" side-by-side in the garage, currently stocked with a 1/4 of Lagunitas IPA. I wasn't keen on the 1/4 because I like to change out kegs often, but I really wanted to test the size to see if I could fit a 1/4 and my corny homebrew keg in there--and I can:
As with my last kegerator, I reinforced the bottom shelves with plywood so they'll take the weight. Once my homebrew is kegged, I need to go get a gas manifold, and a 2nd shank & faucet.

mine as of right now, only other thing I want is a ss drip tray. Had to get the dogfish block handle since tara mcpherson has been my favorite artist since high school, and found the other to match when I upgraded to a two handle setup. Honestly never had dogfish, they don't sell it in idaho! (But my buddy just picked some up for me while out of state )danhercules

My seemingly eternally evolving project...
Freebie fridge in the garage:
Manifold, drain cup, cool air fan:
Insulated pipe from fridge to wall:
Cabinet in corner of the kitchen:
Open cabinet. The drain runs back into the fridge in the orange cup. Yeast vial faucet handles with various grains. The part the faucets and backsplash are mounted on was originally built to hang on the wall. While figuring where i wanted to mount it I sat it on that shelf. BINGO...took it in another direction.

Thanks I've always liked em, got a few high ups given to me, but a lot are just different units been with/to
Just a very basic fridge from cosco. I cut the drawers and the inside of the door, fits 2 pepsi kegs. The co2 tank and regulator sits in the back and i just use cobra picnic taps for now. When i'll find the schematics of the fridge online to know where to drill the holes, i'll install a tower with 2 taps.
Step 1: Have dog guard door so you can't be disturbed
Step 2: Cut ugly hole in wall and re-route light switch/wires to newly installed junction box (not shown)
Step 3: Make sure there are no other electrical wires in wall by taking picture. Safety first!
Step 4: Build liquor cabinet above taps, make insulated box for faucet shanks and cover ugly hole in wall with drywall.
Step 5: Plaster ugly drywall
Step 6: TIG-weld tailpieces on beer shanks
Step 7: Machine aluminum blocks and sweat some copper lines to keep beer shanks cold, all the way to the faucet.
Step 8: Put tile on wall and grout same. Mix too much grout and leave excess to harden on back porch picnic table in bucket so you can never use bucket, again.
Step 9: Search interwebz for picture of trunk line
Step 10: Make trunk line with chiller lines in center, wire -tie together, wrap with saran wrap for vapor barrier, tin foil for thermal barrier, foam pipe wrap for insulation and electrical tape the whole mess together for aesthetics and to keep it from falling apart
Step 11: Have German engineers thoroughly inspect trunk line for quality
Step 12: Run trunk line into spare fridge, in basement.
Step 13: Use pond/fountain pump to recirculate RV anti-freeze through chiller lines of trunk line.
Feel free to employ judicious use of shop-vac on return line to start flow if pump does not have enough head to start circulation by itself
Step 14: Pour beer, drink same, smoke pipe while drinking.

Is that knob & tube in the wall
Stellar Work!

I love the coolant system! nice job. Only problem is the fact you only have one keg in there! and it looks commercial!! more time brewing less time building!!
Why waste my beer testing the system?

went from this
to this
only had two on tap at any given time anyways. But! good to note, my old keezer is now in the shed acting as a fermentation chamber... so now i can ferment 10 gallons at a time (back to back brewday or 10 gallon batches) so all is right with the world.

Hop to it!
This make me nervous! Lol I would install a little tab from the freezer door to under the fridge door, so the fridge would always open with the freezer but not the other way around. Protect the beer!
Good call. Unfortunately it's too late. Both my wife and 7 year old spilled beer everywhere! I put the old handles on to prevent this from happening again!

Another option I've seen on a local one was to use a thin small piece of sheet metal on the inside of the two doors so they open simultaneously... Just a thought if you like you're other handless more

Just finished mine this week. Used barn wood from my grandparents barn. I have two fans inside the tower, one blowing up and one blowing down, works perfectly.
