Show us your Kegerator

[jkeb74]

This is my work in progress. It's a 15cu ft I picked up off craigslist. Waiting on the secondaries / hoses etc to finish the inside. Pretty damn excited, this is my first attempt at taking on a project and building it on my own. A little out of my element but it has been a blast so far

Still not quite sure what to do about that lid handle. But I love it anyway

lol - nice! I love how it is in the living room between the sofa and the TV

Haha can you tell I have no SWMBO to answer to?

 

[JNye]

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!

Yeah its just black stain on birch plywood, I used a rag to put it on, I didn't wipe it off. I started with plywood because I didn't want heavy 2x6s. But since I didn't want wood on white I tried this. I was pretty happy with how it turned out.

Do it XXXXX, it was mostly easy, the puck took like 30 seconds. The mini bat was a bit tough cause the wood was really hard.

nothing special but fits 6 corneys, chalkboard paint throughout and the epoxy rigged driptray

The link works now, flickrs instructions suck. This is what I do. Go to the all sizes page and right click the image, then copy the image address and post it over hear like this. My new chest freezer, maybe for fermenting or keezer haven't decided yet.

What freezer is that? looks a lot like my Holiday 7.0.

 

[jafo28]

It's the GE 7.0, i've seen in other threads that you can stuff a fourth keg in there, I just haven't tried yet.

I just finished my instructable on this.

My Kegerator with no beer in it. Except for ML.

 

[drumming102]

I'm looking for an idea to install a chain/bungie/sinch system In the back strung between the sides to put a keg or 2 up on the hump. The hump is not wide enough to just sit them there but if they had a retaining strap I can prob fit 5 kegs in here rather than just 3.

I thought about eye bolts or mollys with a eye bolt but am scared to drill into the sides into that plastic. Any ideas on creating a mounting point to install such a retention device?

 

[BoxofRain]

Can't you just extend the hump with some wood? I'm having trouble picturing this though.

 

[bowiefan]

What Boxorain said, most people with uprights just build a plywood shelf in the bottom that sits even with the top of the hump. Sort through the first few pages of this thread and you will find pictures.

 

[drumming102]

nah because I want to keep the shelves for hops and yeast and such as it's dark. i think i figured it out though. Gonna use holes drilled virtically through the shelf support fins to hang the retaining chain on

The red, white and blue sticker put it over the top.

Finished up today.

I love the finish you got on the collar! What type of wood and stain did you use?

 

[joety]

Very nice. Love the future expansion plugs, love controller and sturdy handle. Well thought out and sharp looking.

 

[SamuraiSquirrel]

Not as cool as some I have seen on here but overall I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.....

 

[Yankeehillbrewer]

Pretty sweet lookin' YI, Nice job

Just a quick note. Since I finished and posted the pictures of my Kegerator in Oct of 08 everything that has been posted on here since has blown my mind. Over 2 years ago there were not many decked out units on here and now everything in the last 2 years just blows it out of the water. Good job beer geeks!!!!

Lol i made the account as a joke and never realized i'd get hooked and check the forum on a daily basis. This was before I was hooked (obsessed) on the hobby. Now I'm too far in to abandon my post count. Is there a way to change your user name without abandoning your account?

My new tap handle right after I drilled it and inserted the threads. I guess this thread isn't really a build thread, but oh well. It's my keezer in all it's unfinished glory

 

[electrichead]

My new tap handle right after I drilled it and inserted the threads.

Awesome idea. Was that from a prybar? I don't think I could bring myself to dismantle one of my SnapOn tools for a tap handle.

 

[Xtant]

Screwdriver. And I did not dismantle it. I bought a screwdriver handle off the truck. $20. I'm gonna get three more, soon. That was just the test piece.

 

[zmurda]

this is my 5 cubic foot keezer that i just finished.

 

[jaja]

That looks great! Did you attach the wood plate for the drip tray with liquid nails or something?

Massive collar, I hope its insulated and you have some sort of fan in there too.

Good work.

Agreed, looks great!
Just finishing up my 5cf keezer as well. Just need to put the drip tray on but still working on how to do that. I like your method.

 

[knotquiteawake]

Finally done! Except the drip tray, but I can live without for now!
Its a $60 Danby Millennium I bought off CL. The tap tower was a gift from SWMBO, I removed the door shelving and replaced with with a sheet of whiteboard, and I have a 120mm case fan inside blowing air into the tower to keep the lines cool.
