Hey All,
So I finally started my kegerator build. See the attached pictures.... I started with a fridge I picked up on craigslist for $150. I decided to go for a Top Freezer style so my wife and I can use the freezer for extra storage. The rest of the parts came from all over the place, but the bulk of it came from KegConnection. I got it during their Black Friday deal. It is a completely custom kit that Todd and I put together. Everything is working although there is a slight rattle in one of the secondary regulators (sounds like a screw tumbling inside of a pipe).
Specs:
All of the gas lines were run through 4" MFL bulkheads and all connections are MFL + Oetikers.
I think that basically covers it. Any questions?
One of my bulkheads had a little problem and was slightly too short (hence why there are only four lines). I am solving that as we speak.
Oh... also... for safety the CO2 Cylinder is bolted to the fridge with a lab grade stainless steel bracket.
One other note... it may look like the drip tray was mounted at an angle in the pictures. In reality it is actually level to the ground. The fridge is slanted so the door closes correctly... It looks a little odd, but it works great.
