My custom 7.5 cubic ft chest freezer with 3 homebrew tap hookups!!
 
That pepsi machine kegerator is awesome! I'd love to see what the inside looks like. Did you have to do a lot of modifications?
 
Chapa,

I'll try to get some pics of the inside in the next day or two. There weren't too many mods. I gutted the inside, insulated it as much as I could to the size of three ball locks, and drilled out the holes for the lines and taps.
I haven't figured out how best to label the taps yet. I could put a backlit black glassboard in place of the Pepsi part at the top, but it would kinda ruin the vending machine look. Any thoughts would be great.
 
Someone was kind enough to give me an early christmas present in the form of draft tower, co2 tank, dual regulator and drip tray so I could finally finish converting the Danby I got 2 years ago. Force carbing the first beer right now! This was a real simple conversion, especially compared to a lot of others posted on here!

Another Sanyo conversion all thanks to Homebrewtalk forums. Not the best picture... I'll post up a better one soon that shows the whole thing (fermentation unit is next to it) I'll be converting it to a dual tap tower soon... waiting on my perlicks.

What make and model of fridge is your fermentation chamber? Is it a wine fridge?

It's a Magic Chef Wine Fridge. We had it at work and they wanted to get rid of it. Took out the shelves, and put a temperature controller on it.

Sorry I don't know the exact model. I'll check when I get home.

Only thing I'm worried about is when sunlight comes in... It gets hit a bit. It's tinted but I don't trust a carboy in it yet.

i need to get my granite cut so i can trim it out to match the lid.

reason for the lift kit is two fold. I didn't have much room above the kegs and my 3/16" barrier tubing kept getting pinched when I closed the lid. also I couldn't have 4 kegs plus a 20# CO2 Tank in there at once. so I'll mount my 4 secondary regulator to the wooden collar in back and just run each line into the kezer.

Ghetto-rator. I have young teenagers floating around so I can't quite have taps open to the general public.

What size fridge? This is probably what I'll do in my apt.
 
It is a Home Depot 5.5cu ft deep freezer with thermostat control. I put the bottle on the outside and I can fit 2 5gal and 2 3gal kegs with picnic taps. I am space limited too.

Did you drill a hole through the side for the gas line? I don't see a collar...
 
I will be adding a coffin with an inset digital picture frame with whats on tap and I will tile the top with glass tile and add blue led ribbon lights.

It looks identical to my Vissani 52 Bottle Wine Fridge. I believe Vissani is just another Magic Chef brand. They sell at Home Depot for 199. They fit a bucket with room to spare, or even a 6g carboy with airlock with zero modifications.

Once in a while they have it on sale for about $160 or so. I remember seeing it and considering it, but in the end went for the 7.0 cu foot ge freezer for $159.

Must be close if not the same model. Mine holds exactly the same (bucket or 6g with airlock)

I like it. Mine was used and super gross. Never again will I buy used fridges from non-homebrewers.

I plan using it for cold crashing and conditioning...and getting a chest freezer for fermenting so I can do more!!

My Sanyo wasn't bad...he was a gamer do all it had was energy drinks in it.

What model number Danby is that? And are those pin locks or ball locks? I'm wondering if I can fit 2 pin locks in there.

Looks good man, Thanks!

Yeah the lid is stupid heavy after I roughed it out in wood, put plywood on top and then hardibacker board.

I need to take some quality photos after it's grouted.
