Show us your Kegerator

I agree- that thing rocks!

 

[olllllo]

Or just tie the two doors together.

 

[ChshreCat]

Outhouserator. Love it.

 

[cellardoor]

I would for sure use a TP holder as the handle. I'm sure HD or Lowes have a nice wood one that would match. Or go the kitschy route and go white plastic.

I have hook and eye locks on both doors, so I'm not too worried about someone opening the freezer on accident.

The TP idea is excellent. I'm gonna make a few handles, and that will definitely be one. I wonder how long it will take me or my wife to grab the roll when we run empty next to the commode. lol

Ya gotta find a handle from an old pull-chain toilet for one of them.

NICE!! :rockin:

Very nice! I love it!

I'm saying if you join the freezer door to the fridge door, then you can have a tap handle as long as you want it. No one will accidently open the freezer and turn the faucet on.

Oh, I know what you were saying. The longer handles won't work for me anyway. I have an old Michelob handle that hits the freezer door before the faucet is completely turned off. That is the one disadvantage to covering your kegerator in 1/2" wood boards.

But regardless, I like the idea of operating the freezer door without disturbing the fridge...

If the shank is long enough, extend it out to give you more room on the outside and give you a bit more 'back' swing for the top end of the tap handle.

 

[Spyd3r]

It definitely is long enough. Thanks for the tip!

 

[flananuts]

Here's the pics. Thanks to Bobby_M's video on his build. It really helped in determining where to place my secondary regulators as well as everyone else here on HBT. I finally found a place to put my HBT decal!

Keezer in wine cellar(under construction)

4 cornies can actually fit in here with the hump still open for other things
The secondary regulators I found on eBay new and plumbed them together.

After pulling the panel off the lid I noticed I could put these right into the lid and not have to build a collar.

My first AG on my all electric HERMS poured and consumed while posting this message.

Wow... I like!!! Very clever build!!

 

[IrregularPulse]

Very cool use of the lid. You will love that setup. I'm starting to hate the coffin box style I built for loading/unloading kegs.

 

[ODP]

Very cool indeed! One last thing to worry about when building the thing is good in my book!

That's what she said.

The only thing I had to do was tighten the retaining bolts on the springs in order to compensate for the weight. The funniest thing is when I was putting the beer line onto the corny, the perlick tap was open and pointing at my face. I got drenched and my 3yr old thought it was the funniest thing ever. BTW I used the temp controller from chicompany.com and it's amazingly accurate. Temp is spot on at 40 deg and holding. It's well designed and the temp senor wire has to be close to 6-8ft coiled.

 

[FlashRedGLS18T]

I just wanted to say that this thread is awesome!

 

[Ki-ri-n]

Agreed! I read ALL 130 pages and then made order with kegconnections to add two Perlick taps to my beer fridge. I was surprised that I even saw a couple of people with Philco's (I have one from '54)

 

[Spyd3r]

Why hasn't this thread been "stickied" yet?

 

[BierMuncher]

Good question.

 

[bendavanza]

and the show us your brew rig/sculpture thread.

Here she is.

Tap handle I made from driftwood collected from the shores of Lake Michigan.

Until I get my cornie keg setup this Sprecher Black Bavarian will hold us over. Home brewed Summer Ale in the bottles.

You all inspired me to make a kegerator, and was sick of bottling, so here is my keezer, named the Hokieezer! This is actually v2.0, since the first one was a craigslist purchase that died after a few weeks of being powered on.

It is a 9 cu ft Frigidaire chest freezer from Lowes. I have a Ranco temp controller to keep it at 38ish degrees (not in pics).

Still need to run the lines, and fill the kegs and the CO2 tank. I have a batch of Pumpkin Ale and EdWort's Apfelwein that will be ready to keg next weekend.

These pics prob. won't show up since I'm new on the forum, but I've been reading the forums for the past couple months.

 

[Foamenter]

Nice, I like the light strip @ the taps. Sweet paint job too.

I just recently finished converting a new 9.0 cu ft Frigidaire chest freezer. I added an external temp display and my temperature controller is arriving tomorrow. We had a small old mini fridge that held slim 1/4s and sixels but it broke recently. Since I couldn't 1/2s in the old kegerator, we're going with budweiser 1/2, a cheap and a decent macro.

Ah cool thank you. Does anyone know what combinations of kegs I can fit inside of my 9.0 cu. ft frigidaire?

 

[victorybrew]

Just ordered a 7.2 cu ft black Frigidaire freezer from Lowes. Can't wait to convert it!

Looking at the dimensions of the 7.2 frigidaire how can it fit 1/2s and sixels? How much width is there in between the motor and the far wall?
