THE KEGERATOR THREAD

By request of Ducks4Brkfst.

I built my kegerator out of an old, rusted, moldy GE upright that I got off of craigslist. My cost: hauling it away. I took a couple of hours and scrubbed/bleached the crap out of it until it was clean and sterile. I then gave it two coats of rustoleum. Total cost: $8



I got my parts from kegconnection.com, specifically this one: [url]http://stores.kegconnection.com/Detail.bok?no=47[/url] It's a two tap, 5lb CO2 system. Comes with a drip tray, two faucets and all the necessary tubing, connections.

I just drilled two 7/8" holes in the door with a hole saw, and everything just bolted right on.



I have plenty of room for more kegs, or bottles/commercial brews/sanke keg, but right now I've got the left side cleared out so I can put in a fermenter for temperature controlled fermentations (via a Johnson controller). Obviously fermentations are not at optimal beer serving temps, so if I have a fermentation going I'll just pull off a 1/2 gallon growler and put it in my fridge upstairs.



I put a magnetic dry erase board on there just for grits and shiggles. It adds a nice touch, I think. As you can see, tap #2 is still empty, but I'm remedying that soon.

Close up of the tap handles/faucets and drip tray installed.



Total investment is just shy of $300.

I have intentions of building a kegerator like the Executive Series found at Kool Keg. I just need to procure all of the materials, including a free fridge.

Had one at A&M that came with the house (old number 10 for coastguardag00). I'll see if I can find some pictures when I get home.

Here is a couple of my tap handles. I try to keep stout on nitro as often as possible.




Here is the kegerator and my emergency beer barrel on St. Patty's day. My kegerator is a converted Sanyo 4910 I got on sale at best buy for $125 a few years ago. I bought the Perlick tower on ebay for $75.




Here is another St. Patty's day pic.




Here is a random Obama pic I made for soonerfans.




Here is a pic of the emergency beer barrel on St. Patty's day.

I had 5 homebrews on tap.




I have two old fridges and plan on making one of them into a 4 tap kegerator similar to the chemists and placing my two tap kegerator into a backup role.

What kind of barrel is that? I've been looking for something similar.

Damn there are a lot of keg threads today.

Mine's not nearly as classy as yall's, but it's damn useful.
