Disregard the towel. Just moved it

I just completed mine. It's a 5-tap coffin keezer with stainless tile top and a stainless steel backsplash. I etched my home brewery logo (last name is Tjart... not too creative with my brewery name) using the electrolytic acid etching described in this thread:

https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/how-add-permanent-volume-markings-kettle-illustrated-463099/

The lighting is RGB LED tape with a remote controller that lets me chose a wide array of colors, or use settings that cycle through all colors softly.





Here it is:

The coffin box looks lighter than the rest of the unit but its just the lighting. I used the same stain throughout, but the plywood panelling turned out slightly darker which provides an interesting contrast.

Looks great. Nice work.

Started off as a dirty, yellowing, white freezer on Craigslist. It's amazing what a little elbow grease and paint can accomplish!

 

[RhodySeth]

I want to thank all the fine folks on this site who shared all their builds and info over the years. I poured through a lot of these threads getting knowledge and inspiration as I built my keezer. It ain't much compared to some of these awesome builds but I'm pretty happy with it and now I have my own beer on tap! Amazing!

For anyone interested I blogged about my keezer build:

Part 1
Part 2

 

[Benzene]

Finished this about a month ago. Thanks to all the build threads it went together pretty smoothly

Here's mine. Want a bigger one but this works well with my current space constraints. Found out the other day that changing beer line on a 3 tap tower is a total PITA. I have it pouring beutiful pints now though.

U forgot the photos

Just got my new setup installed.

No SWMBO to worry with, so I just converted the kitchen fridge. I never used the crispers anyway... :rockin:

I went with a 2x 630SS setup with 5gal ball locks and a 15lb tank. I've got room for another keg or two if I pickup a smaller 5lb tank.

 

[Monkey-BB]

I love this mothership.
Thinking about adding a couple more-
Sometimes I fill two beers at once and pretend I'm shifting gears in a nascar.
Mmmmmm beer

Do you make the noises and everything? If so we need to be friends.

Comparatively, my kegerator has nothing on others I've seen in here. However, I'm living in a dry country and I believe I am one of only a handful that have this setup in the entire Middle East. That alone makes it feel much cooler. I'm still working on getting a drip tray.

That's really cool. So what happens if the authorities find out you have this? Offer them a beer I guess?

I believe in dry counties you can have alcohol, just not sell it. Some dry counties are "beer only" or "no Sunday sales".

Dry country, not dry county. Very different. He's in the Middle East.

I thought you were talking about the middle east of your state lol. Impressive then! Lol

Oh there's no beer in it....
It's just carbonated juice

 

[Yeastie_Boy]

Just and older fridge with a hole drilled in the side. I converted one of my old nitrous bottles to CO2.

Guys I just made a kegerator
Out of a frigidaire 4.4 . 2 kegs. Haven't decided what tap handle. I wanted to go cheap and put the tap through the door instead of the tower. Any cons to this? How long of a shank is typical to go through a mini fridge door?

 

[wbarber69]

I think I ended up getting 4". After the trim washer. I used a piece of 1/4" luan on the outside and a small piece as a shim on the inside for support. I think I could have gone a bit shorter but they were cheap and had the bib welded on. It really depends on the shape and thickness of the foam in your door.

I used a 4 1/4? with a barbed end on my kegerator which goes through the door. It's better to go through the doors as your lines and taps stay cool compared to through a tower, from what I've read.

 

[blackonblack]

Yes sir. I'd rather not try my luck cutting a whole in the top. Seems you get better performance with door mounted taps as all the lines are in the fridge and you aren't adding any more volume to cool. I just wondered what length shank people are running. I'll try to take a measurement tonight. Anyone able to run 2 door taps ?

 

[SupervisingChildren]

I put two on the old fridge I got for free.

Here is my kegerator. This, my tiny laundry room, happens to be where I also brew double batches, ferment, store, dispense and occasionally wash clothes.

Looks great! I did one exactly like this with 6 taps. One word of warning - if people are going in and out of the box for bottles or other items, it is real easy for them to bump the taps. I used short tap handles to hopefully avoid that.

Mines very boring.

Very nice! I thought I was the only one who had this style.. Good work!

Thanks a lot JonW, now I've got to figure out how to squeeze kegging gear into my already cramped 8.5' popup...

Thanks. I did that almost 3 years ago as an additional box for our brew club (Brewcommune). We go to the SoCal Homebrew Festival every year and between the 2 club 6 tap boxes and several 2 tap ones that other members have, we put up 20+ beers on tap. The reach in top is great for the other specialty bottled beers we also serve at the festival. We don't have the boxes stacked up like in the pic - that was just for serving at our camping spot.

Thanks a lot JonW, now I've got to figure out how to squeeze kegging gear into my already cramped 8.5' popup...

LOL - Go big or go home!!

 

[RMessenger]

It fits three kegs (two on tap and one on deck) and the CO2 bottle with some room on the ledge to spare.

 

[RMessenger]

It's not usually sideways. I'm not sure how to fix that on my phone...

You have to link it from Photo Bucket or other photo hosting site.

 

[wbarber69]

You need to flip it before uploading it.

This doesn't work from mobile. You have to link to it for it to work right. Uploading from a computer doesn't change the orientation but for some reason uploading from a phone it iPad flips the photos.

 

[wbarber69]

I use iPhone and I don't have any issues. You can flip the photos in the phones editor before using the app to upload. Or take the pictures in right orientation to begin with.
