Show us your Kegerator

[Rlrjnr2]

Hey I searched and didn't see a thread like this yet, so I figured we could all post our Kegerator pictures here.

My first Keezer!

It is. We bought a home with a wide open basement last year. It's been a fun project the past year. Plenty more to do (e.g., back counters), probably over the next two summers.

Amazing. I kind of wish I never saw that thread though. Now my head is filled with all sorts of ideas that I can’t afford.

These are in the garage, the iPad is a tap board.

The one is in what my wife calls my man cave.

The barrels are ten gallons and have sours in them now, saison in the one on the left and a Flanders brown in the one behind the pachinko machine. Both have a great bug collection in them, both a bit different.

Love that drip tray!

Are you saying there are literally bugs in your sour? I don't know much about them but my brother is really into them, and I just recently started looking at recipe's. JW if that is literal or something different, and if that's normally the case or in yours since you're using barrels =)

Is there a specific program you're using on your iPad for the tap list? I have an old iPad mini, either first or second generation that is on it's last legs.

Looks like Raspberry Pints. There's a big support thread here on it. I've been researching it myself the last few months.

Good gawd... After looking at many of the pictures in this thread, I'm wondering if expert woodworking is a prerequisite for home brewing. Those are beautiful.
I have a simple collar on a freezer. That's it. May have to re-think the next one.View attachment 569955

Replying to an old post...do you remember where you bought that drip tray? Just upgraded to a 14 cu ft keezer and need a long tray.

Cheapest I found for my 36" stainless with no drain was at Beverage Factory.

It sits on some heavy duty welders magnets from Northern Tool.

WOW...that doesn't even do it justice.
That's beautiful.
Lots of luck with the fundraiser...

Nice work, thanks for sharing!

Well, Malawi recently went from having 2 functioning draft taps in the country, to 3! I upgraded my 2 tap kegerator to a 3 tap keezer. Easily holds 6 corny kegs on the floor so I can expand it down the road if needed, and still has room for the CO2 inside. For the time being, only sticking with 3 taps and leaving room for cold crashing / conditioning, and storing other beer. Still have some tidying up to do obviously, but happy with the result. Staining the wood facing is in the plans, but the local hardware store seemed to be out, and they had no clue when they were getting more in.

Biggest score was getting some free offcuts of some insulated metal wall panels to build the collar with. Following the "no-glue" style, I used camper seal tape around the freezer so the collar sits on top and can be easily removed.

Scored my first kegerator on CL this weekend! Can't wait to have it built into my bar and start using it.

I finally have this all hooked up!

 

[Jag75]

Kljames that's a really nice bar and set up!

Thank you sir!

That looks like a rather tight space for man handling kegs. Is it as close as it looks?

The only thing I would change......is the channel. Not a Cowboys fan, sorry.

It is pretty tight, but the way i have it set up is all my kegs are accessible through the closer door. i figured for the little bit of pain to load and unload, it was worth how it worked out everywhere else. Only doing 1/6 barrel kegs too so it's not that big of a deal.

I am not either...football was on so that's what got in the shot. I'm a hockey fan.

question for anyone out there who epoxied their tops.

I am in the early stages of my build, and I'm keen to epoxy if I can. However, I want to inset my drip tray, and make it removable for cleaning etc. essentially leaving a rectangiler hole where it would be once removed.

Isthere a way I can do this? My understanding is that epoxy tends to adhere to most surfaces. I had though about a 3/4" high timber surround and then epoxy, giving the drip tray a border of sorts.

The second is how do I drill through epoxy, I assume with larger diameter holes it will crack?

Epoxy is workable. It is frequently used in wood turning. I would imagine there are many different formulations. Some might be more brittle.

I have used it to make pen blanks for turning. In those you put a 2-5" long hole down the center of a 3/4" piece. I don't think cracking is a problem with those. I have used a product called Alumilite.

Assuming you can find a product you like, you could either block out the hole with foam or something, or route out the hole with a router.

I used ply for the top, cut a drip tray sized hole in it. Another layer of ply underneath (I think just a thin one). Make a surround. Make a dam around the hole with tape hole and pour epoxy (Feast and Watson from bunnings).

Mine sits a little proud of the top so I should really pour some more to make it flush.

Coming together slowly.

 

[crusader1612]

The front trimmed out.
I had to cut holes for the drain and the main freezer controller as well
Had 44mm and 82mm hole saws which I borrowed and worked pretty well I think. The big holesaws tend to rip the timber to shreds which is a shame but I can work with that.

The left side to go. Then the final pieces of trim to go on before I make a start on the top.

Looks like I’m going to have some left over timber for the coffin top as well which will be good.
