Two months lurking on adverts and I eventually got what I was after. It's about 6 foot tall. Could take 6 cornies but better off as a cold conditioning fridge I think. Now all I need is a bigger shed.  ::)

Looks cool. Did you use black board paint or is it just plain matt black? Did you use any primer?

Blackboard. Got the tin this time and not the spray. I think it is a better product.

Ridleys are nice alright.

I take it from your two month wait that these types of fridges are quite rare? How much did you get it for, if you don't mind me asking?

Nice Job Rossa. Are the chalk lines to count the number of pints drank/left in the kegs?

No real need on a keggerator. Mine holds 7c no bother with the fridge dial on 5. I have installed a willhi controller since on mine but thats only because I ordered it by mistake instead of a stc1000.
On tap: Flanders, Gose,
Fermenting: Oatmeal Brown, 200ish Fathoms,
Ageing: bretted 1890 export stout.
To brew:  2015 RIS, Kellerbier, Altbier.

No temp control but it is adjustable. Chalk lines tell me how much I've had from each tap. Logistics.

Did you prep the surface? Sand and prime?

Yep. Multi purpose primer.
