Kegerators Pics

[Hop Bomb]

Another awesome Keggerator!

Right Ive now got everything for mine except taps. Where can I buy perlick taps this side of the Atlantic?

[ChazyP]

Ive been working on this baby for a while now (2+ years) , fridge 50€ on adverts , using a digital thermometer in a jar of water to monitor temp and the fridge's thermostat keeps ±1°C

Can hold my 4 kegs with the gas still in the fridge , reinforced acrylic base (original glass was too weak)

Acrylic shelf with taps mounted on it so I didnt have to drill the door

Guinness tap (restrictor plate removed) perfectly balanced with a meter of hose (4mm) , its actually perfect for bottling from

Mybeerandwine.ie tap with compensator is perfect even with 1m of 7mm hose pours a little slow but perfect head

Running 2 basic kit right now , didnt want to waste the good stuff in the hose balancing 

5 or 1 micro filter if i ever need to rush a batch

Buffalo boiler on the left (BIAB) and my first yeast test harvest

Like the acrylic, I used timber myself with legs for the base
Like the taps can you post some better pics of the back and how they are fixed to shelf?
What's with the woolly jumper on the gas

[ChazyP]

The woolly jumper is the plastic mesh that was on it when it came just havent taken it off .



5/16 to 7mm john guest adaptor






Small block of acrylic with 1" hole drilled



Pre drilled the shelf and block with a 4mm bit and used 5x50 stainless steal deck screws that i had

[Ciderhead]

I knew about the woolly jumper I was pulling your leg.
I really like the idea of taps inside the fridge thanks for the pics, is that 15-20MM?

[ChazyP]

Its 10mm , salvaged it from a bedroom renovation , a pain in the hole to cut with a jig saw and using the hole saw bits of acrylic got everywhere

[ChazyP]

They are 5/16 to 5/16 so its 7.9mm still fits

Filters

Some teflon tape , disconnects and some hose and you are set

[rukkus]

Who is Paul ?

Paul is the ebay seller above with JG fittings

btw Will has a great great idea for cleaning pipes, I did one and it works really well.

Woodies sell a cheap 2 litre spray bottle for garden chemicals or water sprays

The unit comes with a pushed in brass spray nozzle. Remove this ( pair of pliers ) and then a standard 3/8" beer line is a tight push fit in.

You may need to improve the seal by wrapping the thread with ptfe tape.

Then fill with 2 litres of you favourite line cleaner and connect up to your beer line. Pump it up then flush the cleaner through and wait. Refill with clean water and flush through a few times with clean water.

Here is a picture. Much cheaper than having a dedicated Sankey type cleaning yoke. Also works a treat on Cornie systems.

I notice that everyone takes the door shelves out for more room.
I bought a brewfridge before christmas (€20 off gumtree) and it ended up being better that the kitchen fridge but it had no door shelves.
I'm hoping that there's a giant stash of door shelves around that I can plunder.
Anyone within 30 miles of Mallow that might have what i'm looking for?

[slayerking]

Might as well stick up mine, its a little different to what most people do...
Its a converted larder fridge with a two tap beer tower. Got a cheap larder fridge off adverts (which was a bit small)... so I removed the door and cut out any unnecessary shit, built a larger frame, insulated very well and re attached door (bigger fridge!!). Added worktop, beer tower and taps. Rails also to stop glasses falling off the back! Holds 2 kegs and a 6 kg tank OR 3 kegs.




Side profile so you can see inside the fridge....



Its similar to what this guy did
