thinkin of pickin this up adverts
fridge for the cornies & freezer for the hops - any thoughts

[Richie71]

Hard to tell from the photo but looks like it would be a struggle to fit many cornies in.  Try to get measurements before making an offer. The price is exceptionally good so ask yourself why.

If you're buying a fridge online you will need to make sure it actually works as a fridge (not just the light).  Plug it in with a thermometer inside for half an hour before parting with the cash.

I'm looking for fridges myself at the mo and find Adverts the best for asking q's. Can anyone else suggest other sources besides DD?

Why not just take a cutout of the base of the keg. Place on cardboard and cutout the circle?? Measure the height. That could be a lot easier than just bringing the kegs.

That's what I did. Don't forget to add a few inches to the height to account for the disconnects.

ah feck it - dude in is waterford city - so am I - have a car - kegs are empty - so its no real hassle

so.... picked up the fridge this evening - in ok shape - the drain pipe at the back is broken - but that's fixable, comfortably fits 2 cornies - 3 once I make a proper shelf - or  2 and a small gas tank - question - what have you guys use for making holes  for taps ?  hole saws ? step drills ?
not even sure if i'll bother -  looks like I can keep one of the door drawers intact  - so might just try and finagle something to hold teh taps on the inside - thinkin of small hands  finding things to play with that they shouldn't play with and puddles of beer on teh floor  if I put teh taps on the outside

[Ciderhead]

yep hole saws in the door
there was a post on her a month ago with a load of fridge picts, somebody did a great tap inside the fridge screwed into acrylic

[newToBrew]

yeah saw that - thats what made me think of keeping the taps inside - that and laziness !!
