Next project: A 6’ long drip tray!
"There is nothing as permanent as a temporary solution".I finally put a drip tray on mine. Found a cheap one and found a scrap piece of plywood that was the exact size as needed. I will get a proper piece of wood and stain it to look nicer. I mean, I probably won't just leave it like this . . .
I do have a few questions though. First, on the Draught Technologies (who seemingly has no website even though it's made in the USA) has a hole in it. From what I can tell every regulator I see online has a hole in a similar place but they don't look as funky as mine. Does it seem alright?
Second, there's a tiny gash inside. I figured it doesn't look like it hit anything important, nothing seems to be leaking, and it keeps temperature as I bought it when it was still running, ice cold at 34F. So I ordered some JB-Weld KwikWeld. Can anyone confirm that the location of the gash is benign and I can simply patch it up with this $5 epoxy?
This is the vent hole. Looks like yours has some excess paint/powder coat covering a bit of it. You could clean this up a bit using a small knife or drill bit while holding the regulator with the hole facing down.
This appears to just be the inside plastic body panel. The hole above it is where the condensation from the evaporator in the back drains to. Patching it up shouldn't be a problem.
Love the all black taps, where did you get those?Christmas came early. Got the collar on a couple weeks ago and had some delays getting all of the parts and pieces in. Have a cider fermenting in it right now and as soon as I pull it out I'll drop in all of the beer and gas lines.View attachment 750707View attachment 750708
A drip tray has been on the list to figure out. That looks neat and something I will keep in mind.Looks great, really clean build. If you want to add a drip tray without spending a lot, check out my plywood and iron pipe support setup. The drip tray was ~$20 online, I'll dig up a link. No screws are used to attach it to the collar, the shanks act as bolts to secure it in place. If I had it to do over, I would have painted the entire plywood piece with chalkboard paint.
Nukatap Stealth Bombers. I think they are technically discontinuing those in favor of the Punisher color combo. Got mine through Keg Factory but anywhere that carries Kegland stuff should have them.Love the all black taps, where did you get those?
My kegerator is a simple frame with 6 taps that works well, but man…. I wish I could make something that looks as cool as that!My New Year's project. Thanks to everyone for the inspiration. I'm looking forward to never having to bottle again.

Haven't been this excited in a while. Instead of 50 bottles and still managing to get infections, I can clean a gigantic bottle very well and have carbonated beer in 24 hours.
While technically you can force carbonate quicker with a high pressure over a shorter time, you still have to get the beer to a cold temp for this to happen, and that requires some time. Then, on a high pressure the keg needs to be rolled or otherwise agitated to speed this process up, and although you have some level of carbonation, Its not necessarily the best beer.[...]
Ok, well nevermindBeer does not have to be "cold" for a fast carbonation scheme to work, nor is shaking required. It is simply a pressure vs temperature problem that can be solved with higher pressure for higher temperatures...
Cheers!
I like the empty shelf on the left side. Is that where you put all those championship trophy's?
You've been waiting since 2017 just to zing a guy when he's down?
Do you have the taps beside your bed? Livin' the dream...Here’s my new set up for two 5 gal kegsView attachment 763216
My back room in my house haha. Main hang out area. Going to rearrange soon but it’s definitely staying in the hang out spot!Do you have the taps beside your bed? Livin' the dream...
Nice looking setup, first time I've seen that "Citra Glass Down" sticker LOL love that.Finally got a start on my new kegerator
What's up with the Coors Light? That's got to be a Sin?Here's mine. As an Irishman living in NJ, I was very sad that the Guinness was so hit and miss around the area. So I solved it by putting my own one at home!
