For the last 1.5 years, my keezer has lived in the basement, where I brew. Space is tight upstairs, and now, we've found the space to make it work.

/\ That's sweet!!

Nice setup!

 

[EvenOlder]

Seriously, very cool design and implementation.

 

[Jaysus]

Yeah, that is about the best thing I have ever seen!

SevenFields... I grew up in a small town in NW Missouri, Maryville to be exact.... I've been and always will be a depressed KC Royals and Chiefs fan

 

[arturo7]

Outstanding!

 

[TRainH2o]

Great use of space. Is that a sliding track, like on a drawer? Must be pretty heavy duty.

 

[arturo7]

Seriously man, that is sweet. Makes we wish I had a staircase.

Thanks for all the compliments. I'm still amazed myself when the whole thing rolls into the hallway. My friend Jon builds cabinetry for a living, and he did a amazing job, especially with the tight space and wonky angles in the house.

The industrial rollers are similar to what are used on drawers. They are impressive pieces of hardware for $100, and I doubt the project would have worked without them. They are 36" long, rated for 500 pounds, and they have full extension, meaning they extend out for the full 36" inches.
We had to supplement them with some small casters, as the hallway floor slopes up as the kegerator pulls out (you can see that in the first pic looking at the gap under the door).

That is an awesome custom setup gxm.
GENIUS!

Here is my new Keezer. 8.8 Kenmore
She lives outside
Using the ebay guys tower cooler and it works great!
Perfect beer all day.

Very nice! I'm curious about the one visible center caster though. Is this thing a tricycle? Not worried about it tipping?

I figured now that I finished my re-purposed tap handles I should post pictures of my kegerator...sorry its a little dirty.

 

[arturo7]

Those tap handles are fraggin awesome.

My wife saw this over my shoulder and said "Are those buttplugs?!?! I thought your tap handles were wierd!!!"

Erm, what ARE they?

 

[Reelale]

They're insulators. From high voltage power lines.

 

[arturo7]

We use to throw rocks at those.. err,, I mean I knew some kids who used to throw rocks at those things...

Here is my outdoor set up. I got tired of having to unlock the garage every time I wanted a beer. On a particularly heavy night of night of drinking I came up with this.

The fridge sits in the detached garage and the bird house is in the backyard.

 

[floyd242]

lol, what happens when a bird actually tries to use it as a house?

I have 2 things to say to you! Well done sir and post more pictures please. Pics that show the inside set up, particularly how you have the hoses going through the wall.

 

[Jaysus]

This thread continues to amaze me!

 

[friday]

LOl the holes are blocked off by some painted sheet aluminum. When you look at it, it just seems to be a weird place to have a bird house, when we have a party folks are shocked when they see it.

To go through the wall I just drilled holes and I'm using 5in shanks. The lines are a little long to the fridge but I'm in Humboldt county so heat is not a problem. The fridge setup is nothing fancy but I can post pics if you like.

 

[DubbelDach]

OK, this one: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/show-us-your-kegerator-29053/index98.html#post2204292 is ******* AWESOME!!!!

The Kovert Keezer!!! That is just brilliant.... It's the Harry Potter of keezers, forced to live under the steps and is like effin' MAGIC when it comes out!!!

The taps/glass area is so damn cool. Your cabinetry friend is a true professional... That is just an incredible design and so well thought out!

Cheers, man!

 

[arturo7]

Lucky ******* birds!

Nice work, friday!

It has 6 casters, I guess that's the only one pointed out in the pic

My kegerator sits under the stairs on my deck and is exposed to the weather causing me to have to shut it down for the winter and bottle. I needed to enclose it against the elements and still be able to use it.
A friend of mine is a great wood worker/carpenter and he hooked me up.
First he enclosed the space with plywood and heavy plastic. Then he faced it with 200 year-old barn oak and made drink rails on each side. Also, he made a pair of swinging doors leading to the back bar area.
Here are some before shots.

Here's the front of the kegerator.

That black box on the right is my kegerator under the stairs.

And now.

From the front of the bar.

And here's the other side with the swinging doors.

Here's a detail of a drink rail made of the barn oak.

The front is a three-part door. The bottom piece has a wide top that doubles as a drip tray.

The middle part comes off to store away except for the coldest days, and the top part is on hinges to swing up to access the kegerator.
The next project is to put an oak veneer on the face of the kegerator to complete the look.

Here's another view from the side.

Humboldt county? Holy crap, I was born in Arcata a long, long time ago!
