Kegerator Emergency!!

Ernie Diamond · Feb 1, 2011

my brewing partner uses an old GE "coffin style" fridge with a latch handle as a kegerator. Well, the handle broke off. I know that this has happened to others and that there is no more determined repairman than a brewer with ten gallons of Kolsch stuck inside one of these rediculous devices.

So. How do I get inside now that I am sans-handle? Please tell me it doesn't involve an angle grinder.

Bummer man. I'd be in their with a screw driver trying to get the trigger that makes the thing unlatch.

can you take the hinge off of the top? You might be able to lift the bottom hinge out and open it that way.

As long as the tap handle isn't broken it's not an immediate emergency.

Have a brew and start tinkering.
