I had one of those 3 door models. It was nice to have all that extra fridge room for parties etc but mine was really worn out and died a sad death. It gave up it's best parts for my keezer. Looks like yours is in good shape and is well taken care of.

I still need to purchase rails for it, but here's my military-themed fridge, just completed:

Hmmm, who's donating pennies for your beer? You should "seed" that container with some paper money.

Love the tap handles. Love the whole thing. Nice.

Cheap swear jar?

P8ten, are those magnets made out of bottle caps or did you put them on a different way? My GF made a ton of magnets out of cool craft beer bottle caps :rockin:

Haha, there's $24 in there already, but I love the paper money idea. Only have to convince myself to actually part with some notes.

I'm using the Oster for the fridge. I got the tap and parts out of an old fridge my brother and I put together years ago, given that my shank was like 4-5inches long, I built the draft tower out of PVC parts.

You can also see the tap handles my wife picked up from Schlafly for $5 a pop that went to charity!

 

[IrregularPulse]

I love the look of that tower!!

Found a new use for my 10 gallon Igloo MLT's insulating properties.
5 gallon corny inside.

Magnets all the way. I tried hot gluing the cap to the magnet, but the cap pulled right off and left the magnet behind.

I have the capability to have three on tap with the picnic tap, but nothing is on the picnic at the moment.

Nice! Superglue FTW

I did the same with my fermenting chest freezer and I ad better luck with hot glue than with superglue. I think it was maybe the oxygen absorbing caps that the superglue didn't adhere to very well. I have only had 1 or 2 of the hot glue magnets come apart.

The much awaited and highly anticipated keezer build is finally finished. The vast majority of the design of this build was shamelessly plagiarized from posts in this forum. I started out with a Frigidaire 7.2 cubic foot chest freezer that I traded a broken trumpet for. The parts and components were purchased from so many different places that it would be a separate project in itself to organize them into a list to post them. The two possibly original ideas that I contributed to this project were the side mount of the A419 controller, and the magnetically attached custom drip tray. The magnets on the drip tray were removed from hard drives and they are strong as heck. I currently have 3 on there now and they hold the tray pretty well. But I will add a few more next week after I scavenge some more hard drives from work. The only big hiccup I ran into with the project was a nasty and persistent fish odor in the freezer. Turned out that the smell was in the fiberglass insulation in the lid. I removed the fiberglass and replaced it with 2 layers of 3/4 inch Styrofoam and caulked it all up real good before re-installing it. Other than that it was pretty smooth sailing for the most part. Well, here are the photos ... enjoy!

that drip dray is slick!

 

[Baja_Brewer]

Can the drip tray hold a full beer with those magnets? If not, be careful about who you let use your taps as they may try and set it down if they get to much foam or something... Just a friendly word of warning, looks good otherwise! Good find in terms of getting the smell out!

It will hold one beer as it is. But I plan to add 3-6 more magnets just be extra safe.

Ok so I finally saved up enough money to buy a used kegerator. It was in the Portland area which was convenient due to the fact I was driving home to see family ...but i digress...so I was sitting with my uncle explaining home brewing while he was drinking a bottle of my homebrewed witbier when I began to tell him I was bummed about spending some loot on a kegerator when he says " Well hell I've got a kegerator in the garage if you want it" WTF! so yeah here it is ..a FREE kegerator ! so now I'm gonna spend the loot I saved for a kegerator to upgrade this lil gem to a dual tap, new tubing and maybe a new regulator for that wicked free CO2 canister that it came with. BOOYAH goodbye bottles you harsh bitch!

 

[demonrichie]

was that CO2 tank tested? it looks like its been around the block

[Wingnutj]

Thats how it all happens.... You share a glass of your brew and talk a few... Next thing you know people start thinking... I like this you should make me some or in your case you got the best deal ever. Normally its free bottles or a carboy lay'n around.

Good Luck man!

That is way too cool man I love the 'nade for a tap handle

 

[sirquack]

How do you get the ice in the cooler after inserting the corny? Appears that lid would not open, unless you removed the hinges. It is simply amazing!!!

 

[demonrichie]

loving the nade too. id also like to know the answer to sirquacks question. also howd you connect the cupholders on there

 

[DoctorDuvel]

this thread is amazing.

 

[MBasile]

danger, we're all going ot need more info on that! is it just a 3 gal keg?

 

[Wingnutj]

Nope! Looks like the 5 gal version. If I'm correct thats a 70 qt cooler as well. I as also would like to see a little more. I have a 3 & 5 gal keg and I like the way it looks. I have more 5 gals and that would be why I'd like to see more. What kind of tank you use? PB tank? Can you show us the reg as well?

Thanks in advance!:rockin:

 

[danger831]

the chest comes with the cup holders and fishing pole holders already attached I use the fishing pole holders to hold disposable plastic shot glasses for people to taste the beer. It doesn't have regular hinges the top pops off and on easily I put the 5 gal corney in fill with ice then pop the top on the ice will last for 4/5 days the beer will not.It is a 9oz pb tank and an old medical oxygen reg I had laying around.You can search my post and find some more info on it in the DIY section.
