build or buy a kegerator

[Flomaster]

I don't have the time, but I MAKE it. I work two jobs mon- friday 40 hours and a restaurant gig friday-sunday. I have a 14 month old son. but I enjoy getting my hands dirty and DIY'ing things if I can save a buck you betcha.

good points about swapping the freezer if the other one goes bad. I did notice that you don't value your time at all and that is something that needs to be taken into account.

But it's a labor of love...

Oh, I value my time, but, this is a diy forum afterall. And honestly with good planning a high quality keezer could be built in the afternoon. That said, I could run to the store and buy beer too, but, that wouldn't be the point right?

I bought one since I had extra money at the time (and there was free shipping) but I also didn't know exactly what I wanted to make. I bought one which I can always sell later and now I have ideas for building a kegerator, or keezer, at some point down the road. Some people buy their AG setup, some build it: you have to start somewhere.

But yeah, building it would be a lot of fun.

the OP asked the question "build or buy". some say buy, some say build. of course this is the DIY section so i'm assuming that most who post on this thread will say build. i was just offering an alternate viewpoint. to each his own. i don't build my own cars either, but some do. i didn't build my own houses, but some do. and good on them too, for using their skills to build exactly what they want.

unfortunately, there are many kegerator/keezer builds on this forum that i would never want. ugly junk springs to mind.

no way would i ever say someone else "should" do something. do what you want. don't "should" on me and i won't "should" on you.

now back to your regularly scheduled thread.
