Show us your Kegerator

[Darwin18]

Been a big fan of this thread for the last couple of years and finally put my own keezer together with a lot of help from my fiance.

Finally, got around to putting this together. I was just going to do the ubiquitous wooden collar when my wife reminded me that we had some left over tile. I was a little tipsy when I laid the tile, so it's not perfect. However, I think it looks pretty cool.

Thought I'd share our two "kegerators" more like bar fronts but they're essentially the same, got some pretty good ideas from you guys!

Front holds 4 sankeys, back holds 10 corny's, 14 taps total... we used these for a festival last week and my taps didn't arrive in time so I had to go with party taps.. doesn't look nearly as good but hey, it got the job done!

Kudos. Looks nice. I like the counter material. The whole thing looks very clean and professional.

 

[rockinmarty]

Hey Kudos, I believe we need tons of pictures from every angle possible, during build is also good. Looks amazing.

I think I've viewed every page in this thread. It has been an inspiration and now I can contribute.

My custom Kegerator with a collar started life as an old beat up Beverage air BM23c. it was a CL find and for 50 bucks it was a steal. Minor work had to be done to the Evap housing but it runs great!

I recently finished my keezer project as well. It holds 5 corney kegs and a co2 tank.

Not finished but it's a start

Just finished restoring this thing. Will put my first keg in it this weekend.

^^^^^ Looks great!

 

[inertial]

^^^ Love that color and style. Wish I had something like that to restore. Looks amazing.

Just finished this thing. Just wish I had something kegged to throw in it. Might have to do a root beer batch tomorrow to get some "Beer" flowing.

Nice work... Here is my lovely lady. Still putting the final touchs on her.

Just got the Kegs, regulator and lines in from KegConnection. Got to get it hooked up this weekend, and it will be a while before I trade out the picnic taps for through the door Perlicks.

It hold 4 Kegs, with Room for the CO2 and a 12 back or so of bottles. Best of all it is SWMBO approved

JeepDriver,

You can't just post a stainless steel behemoth like that and not give the back story on where you picked it up......store bought, craigslist, etc???? Oh yeah...nice setup, even without the Perlicks.

Cheers

Well it wasn't a super deal but not bad. Original plan back in Dec was to just get a Chest Freezer and make a keezer, but SWMBO vetoed that Idea and said she wanted something that would look good, when/if we ever get the kitchenette put in the basement.

So 4 months later, with an additional boost to the budget approved for better looking fridge, I found this one for $850 at Sears Outlet. It has a few dings but nothing major. The orginal price was about $2400. Way more than I wanted to spend on it, but it keeps SWMBO happy and gives me room for 4 pin-locks (could probably squeeze 5 ball locks in) It also gives us some much needed additonal household Freezer space.

 

[jpronh]

Only one tap right now, but expansion hole drilled for the second. Need to upgrade to perlicks, but all in all, the wife is letting me keep it upstairs!

Hey all (first post on these forums),

I'm embarking on my keezer build. As you can see I'm taking some of my construction cues off Amiaji's build.

One question I have is: do you recommend making a collar for the existing lid or simply building a new wooden lid and insulating it appropriately?

 

[Kudos]

Hey you guys, thanks for the repplies. Here are some more images for you:

You can see these and some more (not kegerator specific though) at our FB page https://www.facebook.com/CerveceriaKudos

The top on the front one is Granite, the back is all wood in two sections, top part is painted with chalboard paint for labeling and well, it just looks good..

I'll get some more pictures up with the permanent taps. I have the sketchup file I made for these as well if anyone is interested..

Is that beatiful red in the pictures your strawberry wheat? if so, it looks amazing and probably taste even better! :rockin:

 

[sakeyfour]

My old dorm fridge kegerator died so I picked up a small Chest freezer and made a 3 1/2 keg kegerator. The one with the bear is rootbeer for the kids. I am planning to put a dowel in front of the taps as a lock later.

It is our strawberry wheat! It tasted great indeed, surprisingly (for me at least) it was the first beer we ran out of, I made it with women in mind but the guys didn't think twice before chugging it down!

As a result of all your input I have a WIN-WIN-WIN situation.

Chalkboard Paint on my Craigslist special!

Blue tape to identify my kegs. Adjusting the temp with the thermostat already in the chest freezer. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/gu...mostat-32f-eliminate-external-control-249612/

Now I have room for 2 more kegs! One step at a time.

I love HBT!
