I purchased this 4.4 cu. ft. Danby Mini Fridge from Costco back in December.

Cut out a brushed stainless steel top and drilled the holes for the flange and hoses.

Added a rubber gasket.

Installed the beer tower with Perlick 650ss Flow Control faucets and started to build out the railing.

Nice work! This is a great example of taking a simple mini fridge conversion just a little bit further with unique elements like the brushed stainless top, iron railing, and tap tower.

Have you thought about cooling the tower, or will the flow control faucets mitigate the foaming issues enough?

Thank you.

We did but we first wanted to see how well the flow control valves worked before we took the next step. So far, I've been very impressed with them.

Beautiful panel on the door, love how it ties the whole look together. What dimensions did you make it and where did you get it from?
Great job.

We customized the internal door panel ourselves. Cut out some stainless steal, drilled six holes and powder coated the whole thing. The dimensions of it are 17 3/4" x 28 1/2". It's a little overkill to powder coat stainless steel but it's what we decided it looked better if it was black.
