It is a Home Depot 5.5cu ft deep freezer with thermostat control. I put the bottle on the outside and I can fit 2 5gal and 2 3gal kegs with picnic taps. I am space limited too.
What make and model of fridge is your fermentation chamber? Is it a wine fridge?
It's a Magic Chef Wine Fridge. We had it at work and they wanted to get rid of it. Took out the shelves, and put a temperature controller on it.
Sorry I don't know the exact model. I'll check when I get home.
Only thing I'm worried about is when sunlight comes in... It gets hit a bit. It's tinted but I don't trust a carboy in it yet.
It looks identical to my Vissani 52 Bottle Wine Fridge. I believe Vissani is just another Magic Chef brand. They sell at Home Depot for 199. They fit a bucket with room to spare, or even a 6g carboy with airlock with zero modifications.

Someone was kind enough to give me an early christmas present in the form of draft tower, co2 tank, dual regulator and drip tray so I could finally finish converting the Danby I got 2 years ago. Force carbing the first beer right now! This was a real simple conversion, especially compared to a lot of others posted on here!

To the freezer. The taps go through the collar, so you don't want them and their beer lines to be moving when you open the lid.Does anyone on here have a recommendation for where to attach the collar on a keezer?...to the lid or base of freezer?
Flomaster said:Yeah the lid is stupid heavy after I roughed it out in wood, put plywood on top and then hardibacker board.
I need to take some quality photos after it's grouted.

Hmmm that's an interesting idea...what do you use for a seal on both sides then?

Thanks, the outlets are switched by the temperature controller. That way I didn't have to make any changes to the freezers electrical.
Nice, real nice. Your pictures give me ideas for my build. I like the location of the taps. What is the height of the wooden collar? And, perhaps a bit more about the neat looking temperature gauge. Is that the temperature controller? If so, who sells them.
Sorry to be a bit bothersome, but Wayne at Bargain Fittings put me on to HomeBrewTalk; what a wonderful find.
Here is mine basically complete, Just have to add some led lighting to it...
Thanks to everyone on here, the inspiration from seeing all of your projects really helped.
I used tin on the sides and back, tiled with glass tile and it has a digital picture frame so you know whats on tap...
Thanks again for all of your creations!
cool vibe and color... thats a ton of taps!!!!
My fridge is on the porch for now. To keep bugs/kids out, I decided to mount the taps on the inside. At first I was going to use picnic taps, but then I realized there was wasted space in the butter tray area so I removed the door and molded a housing for three faucets. I have two regular faucets now with a Perlick 575SS creamer faucet on its way for the empty spot you see. I'm using ball handles out of necessity to clear the inside of the fridge when closing the door. Fridge will hold six kegs, or five with the CO2 tank inside. I plan on having four beers and one soda in there. Waiting on some parts to finish the regulator setup which will be able to set individual pressures for each style.
You must really trust your neighbors!My fridge is on the porch for now.
