Hey CARSONCE
Love the keezer but I think your dog might be possessed? Have you ever brewed anything with the phrase " Hellhound" in it? Seriously tho, great job on the keezer!
Cheers

That looks great. I like the inset of the digital thermometer on the collar. Nice touch!

Thanks, Blue.
Your man cave and keezer are spectacular! Well done indeed.
You have six taps on what looks like a similar-sized keezer. The Frigidaire will hold five kegs max. I'm guessing Magic Chef, no?

Here's a shot of mine...
The tap handles are from a 4 pointer we got about 12 years ago.

Its a 14.8 GE (Big time craigslist score :rockin
Right now I have 6 cornies and a sixtel of Boston Lager in there with a 10lb tank. I can fit another cornie for conditioning with room on the hump for a primary or secondary. Thanks for the compliments.
Im just trying to figure out what some of your other hobbies could be.

I'm liking those handles, perfect for a sportsman's kegerator. Do you have that hand pump hooked up? How does it work?
sorry for crappy cell phone pic. I wrote about it here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/my-latest-kegorator-build-162469/

Haven't tried the hand pump yet. We do alot of cask conditioned ales so I threw it on there knowing it would get used. Still working on a method to fabricate a nice looking sparkler head for it.

Man, some of you guys have some incredible set ups.
Here's mine. It's not as fancy, but it was a birthday present from my amazing SWMBO. I'll keep her.

cant remember if i've posted my setup on here before or not.
this was my first keezer
i sold that one about a year ago.
here's the new keezer. it holds 6 cornies. i have five in it, and the sixth corny is for a glycol cooling setup. 20lb co2 tank on the outside of that, hoses running thru the backside of the keezer into the wall, out to the other side of the wall into the bar. this isn't where the keezer sits, this photo was taken when i first built the collar. it's in a closet just outside the bar now.
here's the bar.
five perlick faucets behind the bar on my license plate tapbox. BUY PERLICK! my first keezer had the cheapos. they SUCK.
LOTS more pictures, and build tracking here. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/my-bar-build-tracking-my-progress-here-121928/

Chainsaw--is there a reson you wouldn't just buy 14" shanks, tape some pipe insulation around them, and go directly from the collar and through the wall with the shanks? This would allow you to keep the tubing inside the keezer, negating the need for the glycogen cooling system.
I ask this because a friend of mine wants to do something similar with a fridge, and I'd like to just go through the wall with the shank.

I recently finished a small chest freezer conversion and wanted to post this for those of you with limited space.
I only had about 35 width inches to work with in the laundry room off of the kitchen, and this unit is 33 inches.
I used the Danby 5.5 cu ft. model # 199050 from HHGreg on sale for around $150 at the time I purchased it a couple months ago.
This unit will fit 2 sixtels or 1 tall quarter.
I used a 2 x 6 collar, Perlick faucets, 12" double shank S/S drip tray, 3 1/2" shanks, primary double gauge, Johnson's temperature controller, and 8 ft. beer line. At the time of the picture I was using a small computer fan but I wasn't getting enough circulation so I picked up a 4" personal fan from Walmart for $4.00 and it is circulating very well.
Most of the parts above were from Micromatic and the magnetic cap catcher bottle opener was from XtremeBarware.com
Right now I have a sixtel of Killian's on tap and it is pouring great!
I will most likely run the drain hose out the wall and into the garage when I get a chance, right now I am just using a bucket underneath when in use.
Feel free to contact me if you are working on something similar, I would be happy to answer any questions the best I can or take measurements from the inside of the freezer etc.
Cheers!

here's the bar.
Did I see this bar in BYO a few months back? Truly an awesome build. I'm jealous. :rockin:

i thought about doing this, but it would have involved my keezer being up really high in the air. #1 it would have been a major PITA to have to raise up full cornys that high, and #2 heighth of the closet cieling that the keezer is in wouldn't have allowed it anyways. i wanted my faucets to be "normal" heighth, like you just walk up to them and get a pull, and not have to bend down low.

Orangebrew, can you post specs on your upright freezer? I'm looking to do something just like this with 3 cornies and some shelf/door space for bottles. Also, what size CO2 tank have you got in there?My old fridge bit the dust so here are some pics of my new one, nothing fancy but functional.

Finally got around to taking a few pictures of the Kegerator. It is a MagicChef that my mother did not want. PVC tower with copper tubing to cool. Paintball CO2. Holds 2 cornies and 2 5L mini-kegs, One on tap and one storage. The top is coasters from mostly Maine and Alaska beers I like and a Rolling Rock in honor of my Gram.
Remembered I can post pics directly now, so again

It is a kenmore, upright, frost-free freezer. I'm not at home so I can't measure it, but it is the same size as the full-size, side-by-side refrigerator it replaced. It will hold six cornies if you remove the shelves from the door. The CO2 tank is a standard 5 pounder. HTH
Here's my two. 6 taps total. On right is Kenmore keggerator with dual Perlick taps. On right is my brand new Frigidaire 7.2 cu. ft. keezer with 4 taps. Love the look of the keezer....can't say enough about this site and especially this thread for the ideas on the keggerator builds!!

Kind of ghetto, but that's what happens when you're on a college budget.
How exactly is that mini-keg working? I can't make heads or tails of the connection with the black band in the way.

Quick question for those with CO2 tanks on the outside. Did you just stick the gas line through a hole in the collar, or is there a piece of hardware to keep everything sealed up? I want to avoid open gaps as much as possible to keep the heat out/cold in :rockin:

You can shove tubing through a tight fitting hole, or make a bulkhead, but running it though the hole should not be much concern for loss of temps.
ajwillys

I made a bulkhead through the collar. Also, its nice to have an on/off valve at this connection so you can disconnect the co2 without depressurizing the whole system.
I put a brass pipe through a fairly tight hole in the collar. I'm planning on putting a little caulk around the hole next time I have the caulk out. A shutoff valve on the regulator prevents the system from venting out pressure when I need to refill the bottle.

Taps installed. Picking up my nitrogen/co2 mix tank Monday. I am moving everything over and the tanks will be between the fridge and the wall. I still need to do something to make it look better, either graphics and/or a chalkboard on the freezer door.

Sorry, posted to the wrong thread.
And these last few posts answer his original question how, exactly?
Who is HE? This is the "show us your kegerator" thread, the last few posts seem appropriate to me.
