Not custom but perfect for my needs- brand new KegLand Series 4, 3-tap system with 5 valve manifold and inline regulators. Currently have a Hop Blonde and Chocolate Milk Stout on tap. Adding new tap handles and Soulless Hop keg soon!

A work in progress slowed to a crawl by shelter in place orders. I got it rigged up to serve beer right before the gov shut down everything, but I still need to get the permanent gas lines ran, tap handles picked out, and wood stained.

The light changes color by voice control with Google/Alexa and Hue. "Hey Google, make the beer green!"

Are the bottle caps epoxied in, or is that grout? Hard to tell from photo.
 
Looks good man, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. But the poster next to it caught my eye and I think I live that. I’d love to see the rest of it, the one side is cut off just a bit.

@Ragewood I like how you integrated the Angram beer pump. Any pics of the inside of how you are serving your "cask" alongside your kegs?
I don't have all the parts together yet so no pictures sorry. I will be running a LPG BBQ regulator on my CO2 line and a check valve on the output of the corny keg when it arrives. I have read on here that it should work, if doesn't it's back to the drawing board.

I'm not one to do things by Halves.
Really enjoyed building this one.

custom made drip tray from a local metal company, vinyl decals for the wording and 8 layers of supergloss varnish (much to my wifes disgust), overlaid on the top.
total of 6 taps, still needs tap the 3D printed tap handles, but I can get them right now - all colour coded (red, blue black, green, purple and grey).

Project #2 is completing the brewery.
Project #3 is building a timber shelf, including hanging glassware, more pop culture references and a digital taplist.

I also have a friend at university, who has been mucking round with big wooden bits of wood and cutting in/ burning in brewery names etc.

Good gawd! That is some serious selection. Very impressive.
Glad to see you chained your CO2, but a 5 pounder? How often do you need to replace? Ever consider a 20?
I could be wrong, but that looks like a 20 pounder to me. I had a steel 20 lb CO2 tank for some planted aquariums for a few years and that appears to be the same size.
Yup, that is a 20# tank. I used to keep my 50# tank on it, but it lasted about 9 years when on serving-only duties, so now I keep the 20# there for serving duties, and use the 50# for carbing. I have two 50# tanks and five 20# tanks. I used to have a whole range of sizes all the way down to 2.5#, but a while ago I decided to standardize to just the 20's and 50's.

Here is a wide angle shot of the cold side of the walk-in:

Here is a picture of the warm side of the walk-in:

The warm side is where I do my ale fermentations as well as do my air curing for my charcuterie and also store my sanke kegs for my multi-vessel barleywine solera - I've done two vessels so far, and will be adding a third next year.
 
There are some beautiful kegerator builds on this thread. Mine is not hand built, but it has come a long way from last year when I bought it from Best Buy.

I had originally bought the phase-change model with the two taps (I'm not a big fan of the wine cooler peltier style), but I bought a big manifold with three regulators so I could have three different kegs on at specific pressures. However the manifold was hung on the left wall inside the kegerator because I couldn't get the houses through the 5/8in bung on the back. This limited me to two kegs. I was toying with the idea to make my own manifold out of copper tubes, and with the purchase of the three faucet draft tower, yesterday was the day.

It may be ugly, but it's mine. Works well too. The tough part was getting the 1/4 in vinyl hose on the regulators.

Just got my first kegerator up an running before college :) Struggled a bit with flow meters, but got that sorted out yesterday :) Driptray also has a glass cleaner/flusher mounted connected to a gallon of water inside the fridge, so that the glasses are chilled down and rinsed of soap residue.

Used our extra free time over the past few weeks to upgrade to a bigger keezer. I wanted to share our version of a hanging drip tray, pretty happy with how it turned out.

That is AWSOME ! I love tap handles can’t wait to see what you put on there. That is a fantastic job I would never leave that area if you’re retired good. If you’re not retired you should retire and just sit there and drink beer for the rest of your life.
