delete. wrong thread.

 

[EinGutesBiersSWMBO]

Wow, lots of great ideas in here!

I finally got the drip trays and the shelf installed on my beast. I think it works pretty slick.

Wow I thought that was an upright piano at first. That looks good!

 

[dunnright00]

If I were to buy this (which I'm not..) would this work for a mini keggertor?

It seems like the bottom would be too narrow for the kegs. Is there a thread on modifying these?

Haha! You're right! I never noticed that before, because I remember it as a big ugly yellow deepfreeze. Thanks!

Looks slick - nice!

Freezer on top is a red flag. Some you can carefully bend down, others you don't have to worry about (the freezer is just a shelf), and some other others you can't really safely bend the freezer plate down.
I held out for a mini fridge on CL to not have a freezer, it took almost a month of waiting to find it though.

Thanks! I used adjustable shelving to hook into the freezer collar.
So a lot like this, but i cut out the drip try template from the top nicer piece of wood so they wouldn't slide and so they could be easily removed and cleaned.
I also made sure to screw the two pieces of wood together, to prevent sliding.

Nothing special but it works and I made it myself. Built it for around $150

Put Casters on it so I can move it from in my garage to the backyard for bbq

 

[Jmac00]

here's some pics of mine...freezer was free and ugly, some paint, cheap wood, burnt it with a torch, made a platform for it on casters...now enjoying cold beer:rockin: I already had the faucets from previous lot purchases, eventually i'll have all 7 faucets installed and upgraded to perlicks.

when i dragged it home....it was FREE

I have a mini-fridge not being used anymore in my basement (guess why).

The freezer was a "U"-shaped shelf on top that was screwed to the inner sides of the refrigerator. It had plastic lines, so I assumed that I could unscrew it and bend it down so it was flush with the back wall. I got it bent down to about a 45 degree angle when I heard the dreaded hissing.... now I've been stuck thinking weather to fix it or other uses for it so I don't have to pay a disposal fee...

This is my kegerator. I bought the old (~1953) International Harvester fridge from the local classifieds. It was already turned into a kegerator, but was in pretty bad shape. I decided to restore it. I sanded it, cleaned it, polished the chrome, plugged a hole, primed, painted, and added a clear coat. Although I only have one commercial keg at this time, it fits 2 kegs and the CO2 tank. I just ordered this past weekend a new 2 faucet system from keg connection that will include the Perlick 575ss and the taprite dual regulator.

 

[HOP-HEAD]

That thing is bad @ss..... I want it... :rockin:

 

[Flomaster]

amazing thread.

I have several ideas for my Keezer.

its going to be in the kitchen/dinning room sitting next to my granite countertop and cabinets.

I like the collar idea so you aren't cutting up the lid, but with SWMBO baby sitting at home and my son being 1 year old he's starting to grab at the drawers and reach the counter tops. I fear wee little ones grabbing at the tap and spilling beer all over the floor. anyway to lock the tap or just disconnecting from the kegs is the only option?

so I think I need to go with a tower setup or coffin style I'll have 4 taps eventually but probably start off with two. my kitchen appliances are stainless and black so im thinking of painting it black and using stainless sheeting for my collar. I have yet to see anyone dress up the collar with stainless sheeting.

Micromatic sells a shut-off valve that can be fitted to sankey couplers to eliminate the need for untapping. They are a little pricy at about $25 dollars a pop, but worth it to prevent a disaster like I nearly had... One of my faucets spontaneously opened (from the weight of the tap handle, I assume). Luckily, I was home to catch it, or a half barrel of beer would have been flowing down the stairs, and through the floor into the lower rooms.

Perlick also makes a keyed lock that fits on the faucet itself. This is an option I may have to consider soon, as I have a teenager coming of age in my house.

Just finished it a few minutes ago, and I don't even have anything ready to put in it yet! Guess I'm going to brew tomorrow. The door is painted with chalkboard paint. The tap handles are actually handles from my fireplace tool set that just happened to fit perfectly, so now there's tap handles on my fireplace tools. Cast iron tap handles actually feel pretty good and weighty.

[SeanEboy]

Here's mine.. It's my first of a few... Found this guy who had a bunch in his basement... Just got 2 more..I'm 99% it's a '54 fridge, as I just bought the Nat Geo ad off Ebay.. Anyway, figured 'The Admiral' was worthy of tending over my beer.. ;c) 34 F beer all day long, 2 taps, can fit 2 1/4 kegs easily, or a half of anything, including fat-arse local brews wacky kegs...
I'm sorry, there was NOT Bud Light in there...!!

Here are my next two subjects... Muhahaha... ;c)

 

[J_Homebrew]

Very nice!

 

[Screw991le]

I am half way there. I need to make some shelves on the inside and organize gas lines better.

Drip tray is on order also.

 

[arturo7]

I love this thread. One of these days I'll finish my rig...

I don't have to worry about that now as I scored some 3" perlick dual faucet towers from a member here on HBT.

[sensibull]

My wife was nice (and thirsty) enough to let me install ours in our kitchen counter.

 

[patricksprague]

My keezer project is nearly complete. I just need some misc. hardware, a drip tray, and some better gas line organization.

 

[Flomaster]

not much for now, just a stock magic chef,

im going to put a 2x8 collar on it so i can get a 5th keg on the hump.

its getting painted black and will have a granite tiles for the countertop
I am going to ditch the stock lid and just use a plywood with hardi/backer board to ad-heard the granite to.

this is going to have 2 perlick 2 faucet towers on it giving me room for 4 beers on tap.

SWMBO said why can't it just stay in the garage and I said this is going to be a thing of beauty its going in the kitchen. I won that time

-=Jason=-

 

[Quaffer]

Sensibull, I like that one very much. A neat and tidy installation that goes well with kitchen decor. It looks like it belongs there.

 

[Screw991le]

I like the counter top tower, nice.

 

[Flomaster]

what black paint are you guying using to paint the white Keezer black?

also im thinking about attaching my granite to face and sides of the lid instead of having it wood. do ya'll think that would look good?

Found a beer fridge for cheap. Fixed it a little, cleaned it a little. Had two draft towers, one with two taps and the other with three. I ripped them off and built my own. Five taps for now, up to 11 later. The fridge can fit about 12 cornies and 2 to 3 CO2 tanks. A friend gave me some exotic wood to make the draft tower. I chose African Padauk for the sides, front and back and African Teac (Afromosia) for the top and bottom. Did the box cuts myself with a router (had to make a jig), also did the rabbets for the top and bottom with the router. Varnished 7 times. Love it!
