Show us your Kegerator

[user 40839]

Good God. He's 20 - not like a middle school kid. And how do we know he's actually drinking the beer? For all we know he could be embarking on a life of kegerator craftsmanship - doing this for his friends, and while others are enjoying the contents (and enjoying's a stretch, if that's actually Miller Lite in there) he could be enjoying a diet soda, chastely refusing beer until he's 21. (Which, for all we know, could be tomorrow.)

Lighten up, folks. The title of the thread's "Show us your kegerator" not "judge people who post".

I'm just sayin...

I wish I'd had a kegerator when I was 20...I might have gotten laid more often

I'm not sure anyone in here can determine whether this young man of 20 doing anything illegal. Since in some stats as long as your at home and it's with parent permission children can drink. 16 to drive and 18 to vote & die for country, but 21 to drink is might be the law doesn't make it right. Some states parents can take thier kids into bars to drink.....

So before anyone jumps up on a soap box let's just understand we might not have all the facts and making assumptions only does one thing...........

Nope, you got a terrible deal. Send it to me and I'll reimburse your hundo and since I'm a nice guy I'll pay shipping and let you keep the handles and beer mugs.

 

[IrregularPulse]

Did it come with the faucets too??!!!

Monty, I don't know you. I've never met you.

But God, I hate you.

 

[Monty420th]

lol, I knew that would produce some hate

and yes, it came with everything, all I need to do is screw in the tap handles, connect the lines...and it's beer 30

/once I pick up the keezer of course

I will try and post a pic of the one I got tonight

 

[bradneal]

I was feeling pretty cocky about my new twin taper until I saw this. Dude - that is some serious hardware!

okay here is the current kegerator...pick this up for $150 which included all supplies, half keg, 5# Co2, 20# No2, fits 4 soda kegs if the canister is on the outside.

Here is the new addition I was talking about...I will be mounting this on the new keezer whenever I find one that will fit at least 8 kegs. Picked this up for $100 which included to handles and 12 beer mugs and a drip tray which you can see on the above pics

and yes, that is 9 handles

 

[Sasper]

here are a few pics of my kegerators with a DIY 4 tap tower...

anyone know what brand of fridge this is? It's exactly what i'm looking for.

Nice, I'd put those nine faucets on Ebay or Craig's List and replace with Perlick front sealers. It will be tough to drink enough beer to keep them clean.

My keezer and kegerator

 

[abledsoe]

We built this as a gift for a friend. He is not a home brewer so its setup for commercial kegs. Got lots of info from this forum so thanks for the help!

[nootay]

well done! im about to pick up a fridge that looks a lot like that. Did you just use spray paint to paint it white? did you have to do any prep work before you painted?

 

[Pickngrin]

Nice job, Abledsoe!

 

[Jaysus]

You are a good friend abledsoe!

Two things - did you do anything to makes sure that both doors open should your buddy decide to open the freezer door? (because of the tall tap handles)

And, the logo on the inside is double sweet! Great job!

 

[abledsoe]

I used white appliance spray paint. As far as preperation goes, i cleaned it, lightly sanded the entire thing and then cleaned it again.

For the freezer door we debated on tap handle placement for that reason and eventually decided to clamp the two doors together. We never actually did it but I think he is going to put a suitcase type latch on it so it can't be accidentally opened.

Wow...can't believe I went through this entire thread.

I just recently found a score on CL that included two cornies (which will be my first). I'm going to have to keep an eye out for an antique ice chest - the ones in this thread are EFFING AWESOME.

Anyways, had a quick question for you chalkboard painters - how easy does chalk come off the paint? I imagine it's a bit more of a PITA to clean than a regular chalkboard.

Thanks for the inspiration!

Actually the chalk came off very easily on mine UNTIL beer got spilled on them. It was like lacquering the blocks and the chalk became permanent. I would advise not placing them below the taps.

Here's my kegerator. Mid 90's gibson. 3 taps (for now)...

 

[DirtyPolock]

I just finished up my kegerator. Here are some of the pics.

I would like to thank this thread for helping to lower my bank account, and increase my brewing capacity. But hey I'm doing my part by stimulating the economy, and my liver.


You can look at my whole process here if anyone is interested.

There is no point in going to ones grave with a perfect liver. I am using mine up at the right pace (I hope).

Your keezer is beautiful! I like that cherry stain on pine. Well done!
There is really only one thing you need now; a drip tray.

 

[IrregularPulse]

Where'd you get those faucet plugs?

 

[Monty420th]

yes, where?

 

[bendavanza]

IMHO those foam plugs get really nasty very fast. AHS carries them, along with other shops, but,
I recommend these:

[mrjoshida]

I still need to run my co2 lines (and brew enough beer to fill it), but I couldn't resist adding my humble attempt to this incredible display of drunken ingenuity.

 

[lamarguy]

Here's a 6 faucet rolling cooler/jockey-box I just built for our homebrew club, Bexar Brewers. Just in time considering the awards ceremony is this Saturday!
