Show us your Kegerator

Ragutis! The sweetness of this bar setup would require a quorum of 6 beer geeks to expend at least four hours (each) describing it. Good 24 hour party conversation piece that can be revisited year after year. Nice
work!

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

Nothing much has changed, the hippies are older, the Volkswagen's are newer, and we now have 5 breweries. That's something like 1 brewery for every 30k people.

Edit. Ragutis that is a really nice set up, a good set of stubby tap handles would look really nice on your bar.

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.

Action shots:

wow...this is really effing nice. - you should do this as a side business - creativity is always worth $$$$

 

[kegtoe]

ps, i dig the parkay floors, thats what i want to do, but the wife wont let me.

 

[Wingnutj]

Kegtoe,
That is F'ing Sweet! I guess people can call you a closet drunk get away with it! LOL
Great use of a wasted space!

 

[Layne]

Thats terriffic!
Great use of dead space.
I know what the underside of my stairs looks like. *storage my butt, it's a junkroom*

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

Ha! My SWMBO is gifting me a spare stand-up fridge. It currently has my hard drive magnets on it and I was wondering if I might be able to use a few of them in this project! Awesome! Thanks! The parts are in the mail from Keg Connection.

BTW, that is a nice, clean build you've got there. After reading 186 pages of this thread, I feel qualified to say that!

kegtoe - that's badass. Nice work!

199 pages!
I know more about kegerators now than I would ever have thought possible...and now I have more questions, too!

Great job, everyone! The Irish coffin keezers are by far my favorites and something that beautiful is probably the only way SWMBO is going to allow a project like this in the house.

I look forward to posting shots of my first kegerator in a couple weeks.

Now, which way to manifold and regulator tutorials?

Here's mine:

 

[demonrichie]

Here's my tiki bar kegerator.

Holds 9 kegs (7 5-gals, plus 2 2.5's on the hump). 5 regular plus 2 nitro faucets. I also keep 2 kegs of seltzer water cold for the post-mix soda gun and a cold plate in there for the pre-mix soda gun. And there's a chalkboard painted on the front for what's on tap.

The whole tiki bar project started as a something thrown together for a luau a few years back, and since then it's taken on a life of it's own. The kegerator is basically the back bar of the tiki bar.

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!

+1 for the HP joke, lol.

 

[lpdb185]

you know something is epic when you read through all 200 pages..............in one sitting! gotta go get some homebrew now LOL!!

 

[tknice]

Well guys, we built the bar two years ago and I've been homebrewing for about 6 months doing pretty well with 1 liter flip top bottles. Since my house was nominated for the fantasy football draft, I thought it would be a good time start planning for a keezer. After about a month of freezer hunting and learning all about the world of kegging, here is what I came up with:

it holds 3 full size cornies and two 3 gal for a total of 5.

 

[bradneal]

No wonder you were nominated - nice digs, dude!

The keezer looks great too.

 

[Jaysus]

your draft is going to be so much better than mine.

P.S. How do you get kegs in it?

Thanks guys, I'm soo excited..draft is next Wed. I have it on sliders so I pull it out to change kegs.

I am working on an Irish Coffin/ Kegerator right now. The way I got my SWMBO to sign off on it was to use a flower patterned tile for the top. It is really quite nice. It is a black tile and you can not see the pattern unless you walk up and look directly at it.

Going with this as the top, then a stainless steel subway tile for the irish coffin "backsplash". Wood will be stained in an espresso color to match my other furniture.
*pics of the completed kegerator will be posted once finished in a week or two.

Quite possibly the best internet forum thread I've ever read!
My kegerator died a month ago, so now it's time to replace it- as soon as we move into a new house. Getting some fantastic ideas.
No brewing until then.

My new baby, still a work in progress, but I'll keep you guys updated along the way...

After selling my old 2-tap haier kegerator I've been working on my new kegerator and finally got the first two taps up and running this last weekend.

Its working pretty awesome, I can fit probably 10 cornies in there and a 20lbs co2 tank and about 300 bottles of beer.
I want to setup 4 more taps and build a drip tray. I found a nice price on a 19" drip tray but I need some kind of stand to screw to the front so I can set pints in it. I've been playing with Google Sketchup which is what I used for the above measurements. Looks like A 19" drip tray would work great, anyone know something that works with that or who makes something I could screw in to the front?
