nice joinery
lol the Gator-ator is freakin sweet.
Thankschiliorovo, you have a build link? or more pics of your build? i'd love to see them.
ThanksI am working on a build thread! First I am going to upgrade my membership so I can post the photos directly to HBT... Are there any specific areas you are most interested in?
I finished my kegerator! Just in time too. I returned from a deployment a couple of weeks ago and immediately started brewing batches of beer. I made several recipes that I found on this site. BM's Centennial Blonde, Edwort's Haus Pale Ale, Edwort's Hefeweizen and Edwort's Apfelwein. The Blonde and the Pale Ale were ready to keg today as I finished up the kegerator. I bought the 4 tap system from Keg Cowboy and upgraded the taps to Perlick 425's. They're pretty sweet. I found the fridge on Craigslist for $25. It works great. It was just ugly as hell when I got it. It was a beige color and had old, wood style handles on it. I painted it with chalkboard paint and removed the old handles. I found the pictured handles at Lowe's for about $4 each. I removed the shelves on the inside of the main door and replaced it with a piece of corrugated plastic. I beefed up the area where I drilled the tap holes with a piece of 2x4. It fit perfectly. So, I currently have 10 gallons of beer carbonating in the kegs right now. These are also my first all grain beers. I'll probably get a bigger fridge eventually. I'll be moving down to the lower 48 next year. I'm not decided on whether or not I'll take this fridge or not. We'll see how it works out.

Sad face because there is no beer behind that tap??

Whoa, how did you get that finish on the wood for your collar? I like it a lot... looks like our TV cabinet. Is that stain or paint? Looks excellent, really nice job!
That's because it is. Nobody can access it. Weak.it says that this photo is private
