It's well on it's way. I'll post some pictures here in a little bit. I got a fridge on craigslist for free, gutted it, painted it, switched handles, bleached out the inside, and now I'm waiting on parts for the rest of the system. I ordered 3 Perlick 525ss's, 3 4" SS shanks, 5/16" and 3/16" tubing, a 3 way manifold, connectors, clamps, and a drip tray. It should be here next week sometime. Now I just need to know where I can find duck/goose hunting tap handles. It's big enough for 3 cornys and the CO2 tank. I had to cut out all the plastic molding on the door that made up the shelves because it wouldn't close without it. I've got the hole saw and I'm ready for the rest of the stuff to get here. I want to be patient, but on the other hand, I'm loving every minute of it. Not to mention I now have an extra freezer for fish and game! If anyone has any tips or any of those "Man, I wish I would have done THAT back then" kinda advice, I'd really appreciate it...
If you can see between the kegerator and the wall, there's just enough room for a 5 gallon carboy. I'm going to get a piece of carpet cut to put on top of the kegerator and put my 2 6.5 gallon primaries on top and then have the secondaries on the ground. I'm hoping the refrigerator doesn't put off too much heat to use that little area, possibly remedied with a fan to circulate it around the other side. Needless to say, after all was said and done (and spent) the wife isn't too entirely pissed off, because now she can have the kitchen back.
I also remind myself of a teen having sex for the first time!!
(Sorry for the poor quality, my hands were spray-painty so I used my phone in stead of the nice camera)
So here's what I started with...
And here's a picture of it painted and stickered up, waiting on the rest of the components and then I'll drill out the taps...
And here's a picture of the three 5 gallon kegs and the CO2 tank inside the kegerator, not connected, yet, of course...
If it's been less than a month since you brewed, you WILL regret not waiting.
