Hey guys thanx for all the feedback! First off ive decided to go with two taps and just have 3 kegs inside. 2 on and 1 staged. Ive decided to reinforce the bottom shelf with some square tubing and plywood. Just to be safe. Im also thinkink about sticking with the plain black small tap handles...

Thats a good idea with the logo!

I realize that bout the co2. So im either gonna notch out the second shelf in the door so it will stand upright. Or just simply store 5 kegs instead of 6 and stand it up in the main chamber. I wonder how good that chalkboard pant works? And i used locktight grab tight to hold the doors along...

The frig actually is bigger then it looks. It will fit 3 cornies from side to side. I only have five right now but they all fit with the co2 laying down in the bottom of the door.....well if i dont do the dry erase does anyone have any suggestions on what to do with the freezer door???? Those...

Hey guys just thought i would post some pics of my first kegerator build. Picked up the frig on craigslist for 200. Wanted a freezer frig combo so i can store cold mugs in the freezer. I picked up the cabinet doors at the cabinet shop i work at. They were off color so i picked them up for 20...

Hey guys im really green at this whole brewing scene. But i am very anxious to learn and i already have 5 cornies with the co2 setup. Im going to keg my next batch to go in my new kegerator. As for natural carbing in kegs. Will i need to burp the keg and then hook up co2 for dispensing. Or will...

Thanx guys! They should warn u bout that! Lol!

I sanitized my first batch of 22 oz. Bottles lastnight before i bottled a winter ale. I mixed it as it said with my water but noticed that the after i sprayed the soulution into the bottles and hung them upside down to dry there were suds. Kinda like soap suds in the bottles. Are these suds...

Thanx Guys............Im very much new at this and was aware that high temps affect all grains.......I was just unsure about the details thats why I asked. Last-nite was def. a experiance. It was snowing out! so I turned my lil shed thats attached to my duplex into my own lil brew...

hey guys and gals if that applies.......I was brewing a winter ale and steeping my first grain bag. This kit was only a extract with some specialty grains I had to steep. My temp went to 170-175 before i got it back down. (still getting use to this burner) I was wondering if my batch was ruined...
