Show us your Kegerator

[ajenka]

Here's my kegerator, made from an old Fridgidare chest freezer. I brew my own cider, it's loaded now with my Wizard Brew at 9% and Dragon Breath at about 18%. My son made the tap handles for me for Father's Day last year. The scars on the kegerator came from last year's Halloween party... it was a great party!

This is the Keggerator and the Home Bar I built a couple of years ago.

Nice basement! Even with that Hawkeyes stuff on the wall. [emoji12]

Serves 4.

Inside holds 5 cornies...

The old kegerator now is used as a fermemting chamber.

oIIIIIo, This looks like exactly what I am building now. I have 4 Perlion Taps with the same tray just below the freezer. I am stuck on what size lines to use however. I'm pretty sure I already have the manifold, but I got busy on somethomg else and this project has bern sitting idol for years. I'd like to finish it up and put it to use. Any recommendations for line sizes.

Hello all, I have been reading these forums for some time now getting many great ideas and tips and recently moved into all grain brewing. Figured I would share my drinking setup. Working on a brew rig currently.

I have two keezers with 4 CO2 taps in each and two nitro taps in one (even though can only fit max of 5 kegs at a time.
Still need to figure out a good drip tray solution, or at least make smaller tap handles so they do not get knocked open as often! Floor has a tendency to end up a bit sticky behind the bar.

(PS, don't mind the writing on the chalkboard, took the picture around the holidays right after I had family with young cousins over, not some crazy beer formula.)

Just gave mine a facelift...now just have to fill it up.

 

[jonwilliams48]

Converted 7 cu. ft. chest freezer with chalkboard paint. Made a bottom stand on casters to move it, not realizing when it's full...this thing ain't going anywhere ...splurged for the Perlicks.

Here is mine, holds 2x19L and 1x9L pushed out with a Sodastream CO2 bottle.

I like your copper draft tower.

I like your copper draft tower.

Cheers, it just fits three 8mm beer lines. If I built it again, I would go for a wider diameter pipe, but it works, and is easily disassembled if it springs a leak..

Looks great! Random question... what shanks are you using with your Perlicks on this tower and are they all SS?

Hey Lucky Cat,
I don't remember what brand shanks I have in there but everything is SS

 

[MakeDankBeer]

You have anymore pics of this? Was this just a normal chest freezer you did all the wood work on or ?

Hey I searched and didn't see a thread like this yet, so I figured we could all post our Kegerator pictures here.

mmcquire this is sweet! Do you have any photos of your build?

Here’s my basement “stoop in” (less than 48” tall but nearly 7’x14’)

I'm tempted to put the faucets on the side like this due to space constraints. Has this been good, or do you wish you put them on the longer middle part of the freezer?

 

[FoxPaw]

This is my kegerator that I take to elk camp each year. The antlers and skull cap are from my first elk I took in 2006.

Just finished the basement, finally.

Added a Kegworks brushed stainless 14” tower with dual Perlick faucets and a 5# CO2 Tank in the fridge. The inaugural sixth-barrels were Golden Road Wolf Pup and Urban Chestnut Zwickel.

What diameter pipe did you use and how did you transition from the tee fitting to the shank thread?

Thanks,
Mark

 

[jlinz]

Just finished! Ended up a little different than I first planned, but I'm pretty happy with the result.

 

[Desert_Sky]

If anyone is interested, Best Buy has these 7.0cf Insignias for 159 for memorial weekend. Will fit 3 kegs only though

 

[Bigs166]

Built in 2016. My pride and joy.

I didn't take any pictures while building but its just framed out with some leftover 2x4s, fake brick paneling mounted to that. Bar top is hinged to allow access to the two chest freezer keezers. Just started as one keezer.

Any build pics? And can you explain the tap list on the back wall? Projector?

7-Tap Black Iron Pipe Kegerator
https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/index.php?threads/7-Tap-Black-Iron-Pipe-Kegerator.592605/

Here’s the forum where I documented the build.
The tap list is just a frame I built with spare wood. Burlap stretched over thick cardboard. I turn installed an LED light strip between the glass and the burlap. I use fluorescent chalkboard markers.

I’m getting ready to do my first keezer collar. I’m going with 2x8’s. I know nothing about lumber. Any types of wood to look for or avoid for the collar?

Your best bet: go to a reputable lumber dealer and tell them what you want to do. They should be happy to help.

 

[day_trippr]

Fir or pine is pretty much de rigueur in that size, plus it's easiest to work...

Cheers!

Been a work in progress. Started building it 4 years ago and once it worked i figured oh ill finish that next week. Just put on the pallet boards 2 weeks ago. Some day I will put a top on it.

Very nice. I'm thinking about building a wooden facade around my Keezer, with enough space at the side to house the C02 tank, with a little trap door to hide it. I was thinking about using pallets as well, but wasn't sure if it would look 'rustic' or just broken and dirty. But I like the look of yours.

Nice tap handles @mmcquire !!! How did you attach that drip tray? That is what I am trying to figure out now.

Hy! This is my first post in this forum, and I wanna show my freshly built kegerator, with the first tapped beer on it. I hope you guys will like it.

Thanks for the compliments. If you go with the pallet look be aware the boards are different thicknesses. I used a support in the middle of the keezer to screw into and also make a gap for heat. The screws I used worked good for the thinner boards but didn't leave enough threads for thicker boards and had to redo a couple. Also if using screws, the wood likes to split so pre-drilling helps. The gap on the right has 2x 20lb Co2 tanks. One is a spare.
