Show us your Kegerator

[Jester369]

Well, this is what I hope to build in the next month or so. It should hold six cornys, but I'm only planning on having 5 faucets. There will be a fan under the base that draws air down the sides whenever the compressor kicks in, and there will be cold air circulated through the tower also.

 

[attitude]

hey attitude, im going to be building my kegorator with a top facuet like yours was it hard to do? i bought a 1 1/8" hole saw for the piping im going to start out with 2 kegs but move up to 3-4 or more i was given a huge chest freezer that could prolly hold 2 half barrels!

can you post some pics of the inside? also what do you use to control the temp? mine is sitting around 9f at the warmest setting which im sure will freeze beer lol

Hre is some of the inside

 

[Denny's Evil Concoctions]

Still a work in progress. buildng a base with wheels for it, so it will be easier to move around

I like your tower!


Here's mine:

The little guy is my talking beer buddy. Actually the deer talks too.... No REALLY!

And it sits next to my nice screen.

Kegerator / Junk Storage Shelf.

I need a tower. I was supposed to get one for my birthday, but Mrs. Cheese put very little effort into gift buying this year.

Here's mine, with 4 Ultraflo VM's, now the shirron model.

 

[McCall St. Brewer]

I'm rather offended by that suggestion.

Seriously, wish I HAD a kegerator.

 

[user 574]

Simple setup.

2 more taps could happen, but not anytime soon.

This is my baby. I learned most of my bad habits from you guys so... cheers!

 

[Flyin' Lion]

Bumping this back to the first page 'cause there are more kegerators out there.

 

[dylan8678]

Still have some more work to be done. Need to add 2 more towers and repaint, but it's getting there.

 

[anojones]

Well here's some photos of how I made mine- just poured my first beer yesterday, worked perfect.

Nice!! How much did the tower run you?

Dylan I think we need some details, how did you finish the outside of that?

 

[dylan8678]

Dylan I think we need some details, how did you finish the outside of that?

I just used some cheap spray paint for the top. The bottom part is contact paper. The freezer was in bad shape and I had to have it presentable for a party we are having soon. I'll probably end up starting over in a couple of months and doing it right, but for now it looks decent enough.

I like the look of that. It reminds me of one I have seen before.

I would suggest a hindged top that opens just in fron of the drip tray.

The tower was about $65 shipped from http://www.acumetalfab.com/ It's the 3", 12" tall two hole tower. I wanted forward sealing faucets, so decided to put the tower together myself, a bit more $ than a premade one but less expensive than replacing the faucets on a cheap one and turned out nicer overall.

This is a photo of my vintage kegerator.

We need more pictures of this. Did you "vintage" this up yourself, or is it actually a modded old fridge? Either way it looks sweet, well done.

 

[todd_k]

Here is my kegerator. Brought to you by a grant from the Flyin' Lion Foundation. Because a Sanyo 4912 is a terrible thing to waste.....

No this is actually vintage, the tower, Faucet, Railing and well, everything is original. I had to really clean it up and replace the power cords to get it looking nice. It had been sitting in some guys garage under a tarp for the last 20 some odd years, so he let me take it off his hands for the best price i've ever seen (Free). She runs great But my electric bill has gone up a bit. Oh well it's worth it. And I believe this isn't a mod either, I think it was originally marketed as a kegerator. I don't know though because the company that made it is no longer in business.

 

[blefferd]

finally here are some pics of mine, i still need to run lines up to the tap and thats it eventually im going to install gold shirron faucets in it x3. i just finished installing it today!

the ceramic tower is kinda wobblie because of the thin metal on the freezer door but i think i can fix that with some strap steel or aluminium.

this is what it looked like when i first got it

here it is after i painted it and put the tower on it

 

[SiB57]

My wife and I made a deal. I could put it on the porch (right outside of the sliding door to my family/TV room) if she could decorate it. I was okay with that.

1 homebrew keg dispensed
1 homebrew keg carbonating
1 homebrew rootbeer (picnic tap)
1 commercial beer (just until this one is done, then I'm switching to homebrew only. That 1/4 keg of Yuengling has been in there for ~6 months because I'm not drinking it and only company does.

 

[blefferd]

tell her she spelled BEER wrong

 

[SiB57]

As a German teacher, she'd disagree with you

 

[BierMuncher]

Just finished this afternoon.

Now on to the Chesterator...

The SWMBO even gave me permission to install this off the main kitchen.

"...I swear...I get a little wood everytime I open the pantry door and see this..."

 

[DeathBrewer]

LOL!!! great kegerator

 

[blefferd]

thanks i really want to add some SS rod to the backs and sides of it

What are you using for drip trays?

 

[rcdirtbuggy]

I must be really lucky because my wife actually let me put my kegerator in the corner of the living room right next to the couch. How cool is that.

 

[anojones]

Those are great drip trays! I'm pretty sure I may have taken a leak down one of those a time or two in the shower

Thanks Flyin' Lion.

I was struggling with an idea for a DIY drip tray.

Funny how hangin around Lowe's long enough seems to solve many problems.

 

[MrFebtober]

I finally got my build diary of sorts completed. I actually built it back in '04 purely for commercial beer (before i started brewing), but this site and this thread inspired me to get the pics and such online.

Plus, I've just completed work on a new tower cooling device that's a bit different than most of what I've seen around.

Very open to hearing your comments or thoughts about the project: http://www.pbase.com/mrfebtober/kegerator_build

Nice!

From your post I see that you're an Edmund Fitzgerald fan.

As an FYI, Edmund Fitzgerald has a somewhat notorious connotation due to this post on what people are doing for New Year's 2006.

LOL, oh man. That'll teach me to post my favorite brews and teh intarnets! My wife loves it, too....the beer! She loves the beer, you sickos!

Oh yeah, yours was a strong influence on this design (ok, I totally stole it! ) I am planning on having the top be completely separate from the base, attached to the lid of the freezer, tower and all. I just ordered the freezer today, so construction will commence in another week or so!

 

[rtp-brew]

Here's mine. Just got it put together this week. Still needs a few things but it'll work for now.

 

[TheFlyingBeer]

First of all I should say hello. I've been lurking around these boards for a while and now that a few final exams are out of the way I can take the time to post some photos of my kegerator. I removed the door handles and replaced the stock inside door panel with a piece of whiteboard material to increase the space in addition to removing the shelfs and building a platform to hold kegs. Oh yeah and the sweet two tone spraycan magic paintjob (better than old beige at least).

From the outside:

And on the inside:

Being in college means that at least one 1/2 barrel needs to be in there pretty much all the time but I have some new plans for my kegerator. I am almost done studying for a semester in Australia and when I get home I plan on upgrading the fridge a bit, soon as I get some money back in the reserves. I made a rough photo of what it should look like below.

I had my roomates measure the fridge out and it seems like I should be able to fit 2 corny's along with a 1/2bbl. :rockin:
I should probably go to the new member forum and properly introduce myself soon...
