4 tap kegerator through wall build - pics

[awarner322]

I figured I would share this here. Spend a lot of time lurking around this site for ideas. Here is what I came up with for my keezer that feeds thru the wall to the taps on the bar side. Used pvc to run lines in and air out of the keezer to a box mounted on the back side of the drip tray.


Cheers!

Yep... So far so good. Left beer sit in line for a few days and then ran my stout thru. Was worried a little bit about that. Fan helps a lot... I'm not super excited about just running it 24/7 tho.

Only thing I might suggest is using some 1" foam board to insulate inside the coffin.

As far as the fan....I have the same fan in my keezer and it runs 24/7.

Oh cool...how long have you had it in there? Do you have it plugged in to a regular outlet? I am thinking a GFI outlet probably isn't necessary? I considered wiring it in to the love controller and only having it run when the compressor on the freezer is running...but I figured that is probably kind of dumb and one more failure point/potential disaster


Yeah I need to do that with the foam board-- thank you for reminding me

Mine's been in there for....16 months? It runs off a USB power supply plugged in outside the keezer and I run the power line under the collar, which is just sitting on foam tape. The power line is the same diameter as the line of the temperature probe.

I'm using mine just to ensure I don't have temperature strata in the keezer, keep mixing the air.

Are you shanks mounted directly to the drywall? If so, I'd recommend reenforcing that with a plywood backer between the studs. Even something like 1/4" will make a huge difference in durability.

Edit: not to mention, the drywall will not like any humidity that will build up in the system.

What time should I be there? I can bring some supplemental beer!

Looks awesome!! I did something similar, but used a tower instead. Cheers!!View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1504132324.383212.jpgView attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1504132341.732197.jpgView attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1504132355.966464.jpg

If it were mine I would insulate the box area where the shanks are and around the PVC tubing and eliminate one tube and the fan all together. I have my kegs in a refrigerator and have never worried about temperature stratification. YMMV.
