Show us your Kegerator

10 taps...and still room for a box of apples.

I know this is a bit premature, but it is kind of a photo of my (future) kegerator.

Turning this craigslist armoire,

into this super sexy B'armoire

by changing the entertainment center insert into a keg cooler/bar insert - a la sketchup

Done (almost)

see more here.

That is a think of beauty. You should get those hinges that allow the doors to swing open then tuck back into them selves or close back flat against the sides.

. . . You should get those hinges that allow the doors to swing open then tuck back into them selves or close back flat against the sides.

Yeah, I thought about getting hinges that allow the doors to lift off, cause it would be impossible to get the hinges/tracks that slide the doors into the cabinet.

The doors open further than the previous pic, here's one with the bar section doors open all the way, like they were for the party. It opens pretty far.

I've been using the forum here for research for a while now and wanted to post here because this thread really advanced my hobby! I read all 100+ pages getting ideas on how to setup a kegerator and finally planned out mine with some extra cash I had. It's changed a little since then and I have some tweaking to do for sure. There's a nice little story about not being able to get the temperature below about 60°F AFTER I got the whole thing setup, but I'll save that for a troubleshooting thread.

Thanks for everyone who has shared their picture and posted in other threads as well!

So, here it is! (New Link)

Well Sunday arvo we knocked up the new collar for the chest freezer that replaced my old one that died. Still second time around its a piece of piss though with lessons learnt from the first.

Basically 4 sides of 19mm wood with smaller also 19mm thick batons running along the top and bottom inside to give a better surface area to stick it down and for the fridge seals to sit. The middle then gets plugged with polystyrene to insulate and its easy to cut it and wedge it in nice and tight. Gas line feeds thru from outside and so to the temp probe. The wire basket is perfect to mount the pc fan blowing cold air on the back of the tap shanks and hold my hops, candi sugar and stubbies of yeast sit on the compressor hump. A suction cup bathroom shelf serves as drip tray .

Its still going to get some more bling with some decals I have planned to work with the funky red collar . A fourth tap hole is plugged up ready and awaing a fourth tap. I'm pretty happy with end result. Upgrades will include a 5 valve manifold, more kegs (can fit two on the hump and maybe wheels. Going to be a hit this summer I think.

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!

Didja ever end up building your kegerator design? I'd love to see it.

Here is our new kegerator, before and after. We bought the fridge for $75 and repainted it 1957 Chevy blue using car paint. It came out better then I thought it would.

Beautiful work. I love the old fridge thing. If I had more room in the house I'd want one.
There's a nice orange repaint on craigslist in my area (dallas,tx) http://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/atq/1447288832.html

Thanks! That fridge looks nice too. I found there are generally a lot of old fridges to choose from on craigslist, but you have to be fast. They go quick. One thing I forgot to mention is that we took the fridge apart, cleaned it all up, sanded and painted it ourselves. It holds two kegs. It was a fun project.

Here ya go. Luckily I got this for free thanks to a very very generous person who was moving back to austrailia. It started out with just the freezer and the collar. I had to add the hardware including taps, manifold, lines, and supply the gas tank.

Still the hardest part was already done the collar.

Man you must have some really tall glasses for the tray to be that low.

I like the chalkboard look

I want to thank everyone for posting their Kegerators, I have been reading each and every one of these pages several times and decided it is time for the mechanically challanged to start a similar project.

I am going to decide on what I need and then go from there...you all have been an inspiration.
