can't remember if I posted pics when I finished. I used composite decking boards on the collar and it worked great!

Not technically a kegerator and not original, however it does have wheels, cup holders, and craploads of awesomeness. ImageUploadedByHome Brew1395371830.803728.jpg
 
Is that an STC-1000 measuring temp in Farenheit? Did you upgrade to the new firmware released recently?

It's an MH1210F. Same manufacturer as the STC-1000 but it is a single switch so only heating OR cooling but it is in Fahrenheit not Celsius. They are all over ebay for ~$15. Works like a charm!

They do indeed - I've had one running Keezer #2 (RIP, Keezer #1) since early December and it has been working perfectly...

Cheers!
 
I'm finally able to contribute to this. Just a basic 4 tap system but got them all filled and in the fridge last night. Perlicks will come soon enough...

Hello folks, I finished my basement and built a bar down there. To conserve space and to be closer to my brewing area, I wanted to have my keezer in the unfinished portion of my basement--50'feet away from the faucet. I ran the beer lines through a loop of 3" PVC which goes from the keezer, to the faucet, and back to the keezer--100 feet in total. The beer lines run through one side of the PVC to the faucet and there is a radon mitigation fan on the other side blowing into the keezer which causes cold air to be sucked in the other end containing the lines. Due to compressor workload, I only run the fan while the party is on. I plumbed the lines to the tap water supply so that I can push the beer back into the keg when the party is over, keeping it fresh until next time. To carefully control the rate of push back so that no water enters the keg, I installed several valves. An effective, cheaper alternative method to glycol. The beer stays cold at the faucet while pouring, however, I am in the process of designing a chilling system which will sit at the end of the lines by the faucet. I planing on using 3 peltier plates attached to a cold plate. Have a look.

Note: only one of my 3 lines is currently plumbed--the others will come soon. Also, the cheap party pourer was used only for testing purposes. My beer tower will come soon.

I will post more information on the pelters once I get my cold plate chiller built. I can tell you that I brought one plate to work so I could test it's draw. At 12 volts it's pulling 6 amps. I have a 430watt computer power supply that I will use to power 3 of these since it's capable of pushing out 20 amps at 12 volts. This is definitely not something you want to run 24/7 for sake of your utility bill.

This is my work in progress. I had the fridge in the garage, and was tired of things freezing, with such a cold winter this year. So I moved it into the dining room, and need to make it look like something other than a 1997 Whirlpool. The doors are from a old boat I had, they covered the cuddy cabin, I was looking for a use for them, everything else was left over stuff I had, the sides are left over hard wood flooring.

What fridge brand and model did you use. There seems to be lots of room inside
