4 tap reclaimed palletwood kegerator build

[bajordan]

Here are some pictures of my kegerator I built last year. First my concept sketch to get buy in from my wife. She gave the go ahead for the design, so then I looked for a couple of months for the right fridge on Craigs list. I needed the widest, old fridge I could find. I wanted to have a 1/2 keg of "lawnmower" or "boat" beer like bud light, then 3 sixtels of rotating ipas and some Vienna lager for my wife. I also wanted to mount the faucets on the side because of the issues with tap handles in the way of the freezer and I also have this out on my back porch and front mount would interfere with walking past it.

Some before pictures of the fridge disassembled and cleaned. I put my empty kegs in place to make sure they would fit. 1 half and 3 sixtels and the CO2 tank all fit fine. Later I found I could actually fit a half, a tall quarter and 2 sixtels, if I took off the door shelves

Love seeing Recycled Wood being used. Definately gives it a "One of a Kind" feel.

Did you just screw the wood on or did you use any kind of adhesive?

All of the cooling coils were on the back, so I just used sheet metal screws to attach. I predrilled the wood and the screws were self tapping, so they went right into the outside of the fridge. They all seem firmly attached with no problem so far.
