I've been searching for a rounded drip tray, but I'm not having much luck. Aside from cutting a rounded cake pan in half and getting DIY, does anyone know where I could find something like this? Here's a picture of what I'm going for.

I'm running some extra cable through for future upgrades...

I'm not terribly worried about keeping it stock, so I'm going to find some tough weatherstripping at the local home improvement store. It won't hold up as long as a serious gasket, but I won't be opening this like a regular fridge.

Work has been crazy and I've been busy, but there has been some progress! The door has been stripped down and is ready for paint. After installing some more of the mounting hardware, I can drop the inside cabinet back in!

This model fridge must be smaller than what you've deal with, as I won't be able to fit it above the keg. The total height I have to work with in the fridge is ~41". If the converted ball lock corny takes 23" of that (disconnects not included), I've got 18" left. From what I've seen online, a...

Fixed. Thanks for the heads up.

Over the last week, I've finished priming and getting the initial coats of paint on the main shell. It still needs a final touch-up coat, but this stuff requires 1 week cure time before another coat can be applied. Initial coat is promising. The interior was sealed with rust transformer...

I threw this together for painting my latest project. Here's my kegerator post.

The fan is large enough that on it's lowest setting it moves a fair amount of air without making it too breezy. After doing primer and paint coats, I didn't notice any problems Ok. It might have been mostly blemish-free, but I was honestly surprised at how well it worked. While it's certainly...

Honestly, it wouldn't be that difficult if you're familiar with Arduino. Check out the Uberfridge post in DIY for a very similar project.

You could easily cut out the bit with the web interface! There are tons of articles on using LCD displays and simple controls with an Arduino.

Check out the UberFridge post. It should give you enough to get going.

Excellent write up! I'm going to be doing much the same thing with my kegerator once it's rebuilt.

Check out the UberFridge post. You can connect the flexiforce sensor to the Arduino much like he connects the temperature probe. Nix the whole web server bit and look up how to control an LED bar graph.

If you want to put the project off a while, I'll be doing a writeup with mine. I will be running the sensors as inputs to an Arduino dev board, which will then control the display. That being said, this could be a great project to get familiar with microcontroller development, if you don't mind...

That's much like what I'll have set up with mine, though I'll be doing it per-keg. As long as I have the brainpower there, I'm going to have the arduino handle my temperature control and logging as well.

I'm still finishing my kegerator build, but once I'm done I will thoroughly document the addition of all monitoring equipment.

That isn't nearly over-engineered enough for my liking!

Exactly. I'm not sure if I'm going to use an LED bar graph, rgb LED, LED digit display, or full LCD. Either way, it should work perfectly.

I'm going to be using: Flexiforce Pressure Sensor Arduino Each keg is going to be on a platform that will concentrate it's weight onto just the force sensor. After calibration, it should give me a pretty good idea of how much is in each keg. I'm still up in the air as to how I'm going to...
