Started a build for a 6 corny kegerator using a 4.9 cu ft fridge I got on the cheap.
I considered doing a keezer, as I am concerned about it being able to hold temp at 40 ish but I had pretty good luck with a similar build for my fermentation chamber which is about 60% larger with a smaller (4.1 cu ft) fridge, so I figured I would give it a shot.
Here is my progress so far- any advice or questions are always welcome:
First thing was framing the bottom to hold the fridge, a 20# co2 tank, and 6 5 gallon pin lock corny kegs:
The co2 tank fits nicely directly inside the actual fridge, and 6 kegs will fit with plenty of room to spare.
I built the sides next, I made pocket holes with a kreg jig in case I need to pull the fridge out later down the road.
Built the top frame and routed out the door hinges, I screwed some galvanized strip around the door opening to utilize the gasket on the original door:
Inside view:
Building a box to house the controller- I am going to try to get it flush mounted on the right hand side of the front part but I am still trying to figure out how:
Nailed the trim to the left side and the front, the STC will be mounted on the right side once it is wired up:
That's it for now- Ill keep updating as I go.
Thanks!
