Show us your portable travel kegerator/cooler.

I keep them in a tub of ice while connected to the JB. The serving pressure is 28-35. That was for 3 kegs at my homebrew club event. my length from the back to the plate is about 1' The hoses from the plate to the taps are 14-18 roughly. The beer line (keg to pass through shank is 4' or so.

Here's mine, HEAVILY inspired by other builds here on HBT. The "black stain" is actually Marks-A-Lot

Here's a question for you guys:

For those of you using faucets, do you use perlicks or cheapo's?

I ask because I'm thinking of building one and while I love the perlicks on my Kegerator at home, maybe they are overkill for a single day/weekend use device? I would imagine stuck faucets wouldn't be an issue with the short duration high intensity use of a portable Kegerator?

Thoughts or suggestions? If you were to start over and build one from scratch, what would you do?

Also, I'm thinking of building a trash can style.

My faucets are cheap-o's. Since it's a one or two day thing, the faucets don't have time to stick!

I just upgraded to a Perlick since it was less than $30 with shipping. While it is a little overkill for single day use on occasion, usually at the end of the day when I do use it I'm a little tipsy and would rather not have to deal with the faucet. With the Perlick, it can sit for a week or longer and then just rinsed out with a little Starsan and all is good. With the old faucet I would have to take it apart before I could use it, not a huge deal, but my time is valuable to me, it makes it worth it to spend the $30.

Here are both of mine.
1. is a dual set-up for 2.5 gallon kegs.
2. is a single 5 gallon set-up.

 

[NewBrewB]

2 is awesome! I love the idea of turning that style of cooler upright. Awesome!

 

[Brewsader]

those of you using the round coolers for yor 2.5-3gal cornies... are these 5gal coolers or 10 gal coolers?

 

[DrHops]

Mine is a 5 gallon that I bought at Walmart. Somewhere in this thread are pictures or my setup and build.

Here's my somewhat portable kegerator. It's not as mobile as others but it serves it's purpose. I wanted something that I could take somewhere and park it for a few days but was very compact during transport. I can get 2 1/2 bbls or 5 cornies in it. I'm working on a wheeled base for it so it can move around (it's not fun trying to relocate it when full).

 

[NewBrewB]

It looks like an EG-6 Power Droid from Star Wars.

Here is my jockey box. It uses a cold plate inside and a jac pak for CO2.

I have a converted 5.2 Gal Whiskey barrrel that I have turned into a 2 tap jockey box. Here is my album. http://imgur.com/a/AHD7q#0

[HellBentBrewCo]

do you put ice in that barrel? Does it leak?

 

[Brewmech]

OK. We dragged this beast all the way to Marathon Key from Tampa so we could have draft beer. Son of a bitch if the camp wardens wouldn't let us have an outside appliance.

Soooo we ran to home depot and built ourselves this kegerator in a couple hours. We still use it for parties.

The bottom is a 120 qt igloo cooler. There's 1.5 of insulation on the inside all around and it's back filled with great stuff. The box is concrete framing plywood and it's just screwed right into the cooler on all sides. The park rangers were really impressed and we were drunk, so it's all good. Since then it's made it back to the keys every year since.

Cheers!

Here is mine. Just finished it. I was inspired by Juan Moore's.
