Got the fridge!

[dpalme]

Went back to the rental property today and hauled back my beer fridge. Its a little on the small side (apartment size fridge) but the wife is happy, I brought the large double door fridge back as well for use in the house.

I'm letting it sit the 24 hours before powering back up (had it on its side) and then we start chilling our kegs down.

YAY! Cold beer is good! (Or at least it is slightly better than warm beer)

Sweet. My kegerator was one of my favorite investments.

Sounds like the start of something great. What are your plans? Going to put some tape on in and make a kegerator for your Man Room?

Haven't decided yet how to handle the issue of putting a tap or two in, she wasn't thrilled with using the old one from the kitchen for that....now the apartment fridge, she couldn't care less.

The apartment fridge though has an issue, I don't have the drip tray for it so that fridge gets really really really cold. We are barely above freezing with the temp set to 1. It has that old style freezer with the coils built into the metal frame for the freezer. Already have frost building on it.

It doesn't have a name or any other identifying marks.....so I'm not sure where to go for a tray or somehow to stop from freezing the beer.

add a temp controller.

This. Of course the more you open those old style fridges (I have one) the warmer they stay. There isn't any circulation in there so when you open it, the warm air pours in and takes a while for it to cool back down. Mine freezes my beer lines sometimes, then if I'm in and out of it a lot it goes to darn-near 50*!

A real ghetto way would be plug it into an appliance timer that shuts it off for a period each day to keep it from freezing.
