Show us your Kegerator

Excellent ideas in this thread. Now to figure out how to combine them into the ultimate kegerator.

Also, 285 pages?!?
Is reading this monster a right of passage for the board?

Well, I've done it! Now to climb the next mountain:
Man, I love Apfelwein (790 pages)

 

Very clean looking, nice!

 

I just setup my kegerator this weekend for the first time. Now I just have to wait a week or so until my beer is carbonated. I'm looking for some decorative supplies (signs, magnets, etc). Does anyone know anywhere online that sells this stuff?

 

I just finished my keezer project. A simple 5 cu ft Kenmore for $169, plus a new double faucet tower and drip tray. I've posted pics in sequence of the install which took only 30 minutes (you need to have the right tools, eg. hole drill bit, hack saw for cutting bolts as the last step, etc.). Enjoy!

 

Here's a site with a few magnets..

I'm the head of marketing (and an avid home brewer) at Magnets.com. First off I'm beyond jealous at all these awesome kegerators! Just need to sell to the wife.... Secondly we're happy to extend 10% off any order of custom magnets, whether used on your kegerator or for your business/organization. Simply use promo code 'homebrew' at checkout.

 

I just finished my GE 7 keezer. Based on TomSD's design. I'm another Tom in SD so I figured it would turn out okay.

 

lol - nice!

P.S. what's going on with the tap handles? do you have a close up photo of them?

 

Here are a couple pictures of mine. Had a Frigidaire chest freezer about 8 yrs old that we didn't use that much. The Deal with SWMBO was that it had to be dressed-up in order to keep it in the living area... Got all of the ideas from other posters on this site. Thanks for the inspiration and hints/tips! I've got room for 4 ball locks plus a fermenter with the 5# C02 inside. Using a Johnson Controls analog controller, 4 Perlick SS taps. Been very happy so far... Cheers!

 

Thanks! They're these:

You can put custom labels in them. Mine are blank at the moment so they look kinda strange, but I'll put labels in when they're hooked up to something. Oh and when I can come up with a cool looking design.

 

That is awesome, what is the black stuff on the bottom? Some type of mat?

 

That is pretty slick. Would there be room in it to put grain in instead of labels?

 

I have this exact Perlick if your's is the HP24TO. I bought it cause it's rated for outdoor use and I used it on my patio. The 1000btu variable speed compressor kept it at 34 degrees when it was 104 outside, good deal. I only use ball locks in mine, but it's a really tight fit. So tight, you have to use clamp disconnects, since the ones with the mpt fittings are just a tich too high. These things are hella pricey though and the worst part is the tower isn't cooled. I ended up using a tube to vent the fan up through the tower to keep it from giving foamy first pours. Could just be an outdoor use thing though and maybe indoors it doesn't need it.

 

Thanks! Yep, just some foam rubber shelf liner stuff I found at Lowe's to try to cut down on scratches & rust.

 

Here mine is! Just got done today, and eventually will add more taps!

 

nice!

 

here is the full thing!

 

Here is the inside too

 

Sure, you could fill them up with grain. Thanks, I'll have to try that

 

I've now got two beers on tap...you can see the other handle sitting on that little stool to the left (another hockey stick). I was originally wanting to paint it immediately, but where it ended up the white with the lighter brown looks good.

 

klmbrt> that looks sharp... real sharp. But how the heck do you lift a half barrel in there???

 

Mine is not custom and nothing to write home about.. But the view from my patio where it is located ain't to shabby.

 

This is my kegerator:

By gnef at 2011-08-05

I just finished building the walk-in cooler in the basement. The entire cooler is 14x7x7, split into two chambers. The cold side currently has over 60 kegs aging, as well as my serving kegs, and the warm side is for fermentation, oak barrels when I get to them, and my wine cellar.

Right now it only has 9 faucets, but I will be gradually purchasing more as funds allow. A single row on the coffin box will be 14, and I made it so that I could do an offset row above for an additional 13 if I wanted to.

 

That's awesome!

 

Holy, shvt! How often do you brew!?

 

Haha. So far for 2011, I've brewed 115 gallons, mostly 10 gallon batches. I don't drink nearly as much as I brew, and I also do annual meads and ciders. I also have some beers aging from 2007. I plan on doing a vertical tasting at the five year mark for the meads and ciders which is coming up soon (oldest cider and mead is from 2006).

I'm in the Atlanta area, so if you want to stop by to see the setup and try some beer, just let me know!

 

all i can say is holy ****ing cow!im coming to atlanta!

 

Gnef's setup looks like a homebrew bunker....that's where you wanna be when the world's a-endin'! Everyone meet me there when the sh*t hits the fan.

 

I just got this set up. I have my brew closet through the wall with a standard mini fridge and one keg that I am currently troubleshooting. I'm happy with it though..

 

Radical

 

Thabersaat:

Now that, I like!

 

Alright man! If the world ends before I can swing by my humble 4 tap kegerator is on wheels, so I'll wheel it into your brew shelter.

 

thanks!

 

There are a lot of keezers in this thread and this one might be my favorite mid-sized one. I think it is the band of wood adding accent at the bottom.
Well done!

 

Very Zen.
Just make sure you keep the Oompa-loompas behind the wall constantly brewing for you!

What is the sound of one hand slapping a lazy Oompa-loompa?
SLAP!

 

Me and my friend just grab a side and pick it up and rest it on the edge then readjust then drop it in slowly! haha

 

Thanks! I added wheels to the bottom, so I needed something to cover up the frame underneath. I also didn't want to actually be able to see underneath. So I made sure that the bottom panel covered up most of that gap to the floor as well as framing in the bottom 2 or 3 inches of the freezer.

 

i plan on doing something very similar bolesaus,am i seeing the pic right did you attach the colar to th freezer instead of the top?

 

Yes I attached it directly to the freezer.

 

outside shot (taps look funny, in this photo they have not been straightened yet)


Inside Shot fits 3 kegs, then made shelves under and beside to fit bottles and what not


making a nice stainless drip tray out of a lowes mud pan... monday im welding it up so that it sits flush with the door and hand a place to hold a pitcher or a glass.... Have to love TIG welding...
