SWMBO has proclaimed that my kegerator made from a large, full sized fridge is too big to come upstairs to my office (even though I measured and it will fit).
It is to stay in the garage. I will have to go downstairs to get a draft.
That will work short term (and be a very nice fermenter long term), but I need something for my office.
I am thinking of building a heavily insulated box, just big enough for four kegs. On top of it will be a 1.7cf dorm fridge, attached to the box below. The bottom of the fridge will be cut out, allowing the cold air to fall into the insulated box, cooling the kegs, and allowing a place for the beer lines. The four taps will be either inside the mini fridge (open the door to pour) or mounted through the door of the mini-fridge. The CO2 bottle will be external.
The question is, will a 1.7cf dorm fridge cool enough BTU's to keep the kegs about 40*?
