Finally getting around to posting my finished project. Just another little 2 tap conversion, but I'm pretty happy with it. Added a temp control unit because I wasn't happy with how the factory control was working.

yesterday i added a yeast vial tap handle. basically, i cut off 1/2 inch from a factory black tap handle and glue-gunned it into the vial, then added glue to the lid and threads after drilling a 3/8 hole into the lid. grains are special B, light munich, and chocolate. got the idea from here, HBT.

Yes I did, thanks. I've made a few smaller versions for growler labels as well. The "two chairs" is a reference to the Muskoka chairs in our front yard that my wife and I have our evening beers in when the weather is much warmer than it has been.

Man, I love that old iron.
It's been a long time coming, and I'm excited to finally post this!
All of the woodworking skill can be attributed to a buddy of mine, and of course, thank you Jester for the inspiration for this shameless rip off
IPA...it's a bit cloudy because I moved the keg today, but full of delicious simcoe, amarillo and citra
Very nice, I looks at some of these and one quesiton comes to mind.
How do you change the empty kegs ? How many kegs you can fit inside ?
Can you give me some dimensions too ?
Thanks!
Answers will vary from one example to another but on a keezer to change a keg you simply lift the lid. Some folks use collars (usually attached to chest but sometimes attached to lid) and others use coffins which usually have a surface that is permanently attached to the lid or even replaces the lid.
Volume and model of freezer determines how many and what type of kegs it will hold, also depends on the co2 tank being inside or outside.
External dimensions are all over the place as well.

I'm very happy with my commercial bought kegerator, but DAMN... THAT IS SPECTACURLARLY NICE.
Scored a working beverage air with crappy faucet and tower with 2 co2 tanks and reg for $250. Then found a "t" tower for $75 with bad faucets but good shanks and stanless. So I ordered some perlick 525ss faucets and all the tubing from Adventures in homebrewing. After selling 1 of the co2 tanks, I have under $500 into it. Still debating what to paint it, I'm thinking a hammered metal finish.
Very nice! Did you build a frame around the freezer and just put the freezer in or is the "box" attached to the freezer? If it is attached, how did you do it?
Finally finished reading the thread. I must say, there are some great examples in here, and a lot of great info too!
Since my girlfriend bought me a single tap tower (with regulator) for Christmas, I will be converting my Haier mini fridge soon as I can buy a keg and CO2. Problem is, my fridge has a freezer shelf which contains the cooling lines, so ill likely be using a 2.5 gallon keg to start.
After that is built, ill be getting a free chest freezer (not sure exact size, but >10 cut.ft., compliments of the girlfriend's grandparents) that ill begin working on. Still not sure what style unwanted it to be. I thought looking around on here would help give me ideas but now I'm more uncertain than ever.
Thank you all for the ideas, the knowledge, and the community! Keep up the great work!

Decide on how many taps you want then add two
This. Seriously.
It ain't pretty, but it's mine
Just installed the faucets and shanks tonight. Not hooked up to the keg yet. Have a blonde ale carbing and an Oatmeal Stout getting kegged this weekend.
