Ahhh! Thats the size I should have acquired. How many cubic inch?

The Sanyo BC-1206 has an internal capacity of 6.5 cubic feet.
 
I have my tap parts on order and I am picking up my Sanyo today. For someone with very little "home improvment" skill is this going to be a challenge or a snap? I can't remember the last time I had to drill something, a hammer, nail and screwdriver has been my recent limit.
 
drilling the hole in the top is a little unnerving... but nothing way out there. As long as you are relatively comfortable with a drill, sabre/chop saw, hammer, screwdriver, and utility knife.. there should be no problems. Its a fun project...
 
Just ordered my Draft Tower. I have had my Sanyo before I even started brewing. I cannot wait to have it converted to a fully operational KEGERATOR. :ban:
 
I got a Sanyo last weekend and the tower and parts come in today. I need a quick stop to the hardware store to pick up some stuff(wood, a hole saw, etc.). Tomorrow, probably, I do the mod. If all goes well I should have something on tap by this weekend.

I still need to figure out a local place to get a CO2 refill. Besides welding supply and fire extinguisher suppliers where else should I look?
 
I just bought one. I pulled out the inside molded door & got a piece of stainless "skin" (1/32" s/s sheet).

Will be initially using as a fermentation chamber, freeing up one of my 5 cu ft freezers (for more kegs).

I put two 5 gal. kegs inside, and they fit nicely. However, I can't quite figure out how to get the 5# CO2 cylinder in there.

I saw a pic of a bunge cord or something ?

Any help would be appreciated.
 
My wife saw the question I asked, and said: why don't you just try fitting them in there. Duh. They fit very well. CO2 back and center, with 2 cornies on each side in front.
Tax season just ended, so that's my excuse. S/S should look nice on the inside door, even you won't see it most of the time.

Put one keg in then the tank in the middle. The second keg will hold it on the ledge.

I'm sure a shortened bungee cord would work well also. I'll check into that myself.
 
I have a 10# tank so I opted to keep it outside the fridge. I just finished up mine last night, I hope to hook up a couple kegs this evening.

i'm gueesing this is the 4912. so you can fit 2 kegs and a 5# co2 but not a 10#? if you can fit a 10# in there, do you have to pull out the stuff on the door? trying to figure out if i should buy a freezer to convert or a fridge.
 
I don't think you'd regret the fridge, it's small and portable, you could always get a chest freezer later for aging/lagering/etc. Don't know if the door liner removal would allow the 10# CO2 tank to fit or not. I've removed my door liner, it's not a big deal to do, and could go back in easily enough, too.
