Shop Kegerator

[Photomask]

This is a kegerator I built for the shop.. Sometimes we party in the shop and almost all of the smoking takes place out there. Some of the wilder drinking games go on out there as well.

Picture #1-The kegerator and STOP DROOLING ON MY BREWBABE!
Picture #2-What's inside the kegerator. (I know there's only 3 kegs and 4 faucets. I had not put the 4th keg in at that point.)
Picture #3-She's still learning to pour....

She can pour as poorly as she wants while dressed like that, wowzers And you wouldnt put these pics up if you didnt want us drooling

I also enjoy the fact that you have all 3 gallon kegs, whats your hook-up? Those are usually pretty spendy and those are nice and shiny!

The 10 liter kegs are German and from de-commisioned solvent processors where I work. (One of my work benefits is prime picking rights on stuff being disposed of.) The solvents used are residue-free and I did a beyond-thorough decontamination of the tanks. (It is a fairly lengthy process and results in the interior surface being etched. I'm overly paranoid about such things.) It took about $30 per tank in parts to put in a more conventional diptube and ball-lock fittings. I have a better source for parts now and can make the switch for about $10 per tank. I've already done 6 more of the 10 liter tanks and 2, smaller, 5 liter tanks. They are cute as can be and just the right size for taking a little beer to the local brew club meetings.

Say it as fancy as you want, but those are cornies and she is a fox.

Damn, that sounds pretty cool. Any interest in selling some?! 2.5 Gallon kegs are pretty cool, and those look super snazzy....

The fridge looks good, plenty of room to upgrade to 5 gallon cornies if you ever have the interests. Since its a "Shop" kegerator you might want to consider getting some foam earplugs or something similar to keep the insides of the faucets clean, if your shop has dust and other crap flying around! Forward sealing faucets are a hell of a god send too if they go days between pours!

Ditto. I have a project I've been thinking about that needs a small corny.

At the moment I don't plan on selling any as I will be running two in the house keezer and four in the shop kegerator.

I do use foam plugs soaked in sanitizer when not in use. However, the faucets seem to be in use much of the time.

nice work, but what's with all the pictures on the fridge?

That's the "Hall of Fame" from previous parties. The standing agreement with the usual party posse is no nudes on da' kegerator. I posted some of those pics in a thread a while back and somebody said they were disturbed by them. "Disturbed" for me, is a deeply emotional word with significant negative connotations. So I pulled them and said I would post no more. Just after that, things turned ugly, he made some insulting comments towards me, I didn't respond to them and it became a feeding frenzy with other members on that guy; moderators deleted the thread. Maybe I read too much into it, meaning is sometimes difficult to tell in the written word since there is no body language to support intent. Maybe he didn't represent his intent very well. In any event... That's that... I harbor no ill will towards any of them.... Life's too short...

Ahhh, yes. I remember that little incident.

Damn! Those things look really good! Hell of a job Photomask!

Some people just need to relax. Those pics look like a great time was had and DAMN.

Those kegs are foxy

No shortage of kegs at my house....
The oddball lids will probably get converted into force carbonators.

I haven't decided about the stray kegs yet. They have diptubes and four 1/4in NPT connections. I can get conversion fittings to go from 1/4in NPT to the thread for ball-lock fittings, (19/32-18?), for about $10 each. $20 per keg for the conversion fittings plus the cost fo ball-lock fittings; it is just cheaper to buy used corny kegs.

Damn. Now I want to see those pictures.
