Just slide it out.. It's on coasters.. Got the board from Norman around 4 years ago.. Great purchase

Here's my mostly finished keezer. I've since added a fan for circulation. Still to come is insulation, chalkboard paint, taps and outside collar

Looking good Vermelho, keep us updated with your progress.

Are you guys using long beer lines to your taps? I was reading a recommendation of 1ft per psi for dispensing. Is that necessary?

I think I have about 3 foot on each of mine. They just came like that coz I bought them when I didn't really know about kegging. I think there is a formula for it though.

Something a bit different, gutted office watercooler to mount taps on. Kegs sit under the (outside, non-insulated) stairs and are at a lovely low cellar temp during the winter.

Still have the innards, might figure out if I can use them to cool the lines in the summer.

Got myself a fridge on donedeal for €45. Delighted with the space in it, might have to get an extra keg and tap

Went to grab a pint but nothing came out of the tap that was working fine xmas night. A bit of a poke around and I realised the keg was frozen solid. I had the fridge set at "4", which I assumed was degrees so I turned it to "8" for serving. Seems it was actually 4 st ing coldness and I upped it to 8 coldness which is apparently freezing. Although none of the bottles in there froze.

The beer line can freeze if it's touching the back wall of the fridge when you close the door. Warm it up in your hands for a few mins & you should be good to go.

Nah it was definitely the keg. I had a look in and it's frozen. Line was ok. Keg was possibly touching the wall.

[Richie71]

Unlucky so, hope you have another to keep you going til that one defrosts. I remember when I got mine first and the keg stopped the door from closing. It was open all night and I thought I broke it. Nearly started crying lol.

Haven't got another keg filled unfortunately. I did get some nice beer as xmas presents though so its not all bad. A Brooklyn Local 2 is helping keep my spirits up.

Sorry for dragging up an old thread but I wanted to thank you lads for sharing your pics and giving me ideas for my own Kegerator setup. I've just made the move from bottling to kegging. My kitchen had a deginated two door cupboard for a fridge freezer however my beko fridge was too wide for this cupboard. It has been housing the mop, vacuum cleaner and other cleaning products for the last few years so I bought a second hand undercounter fridge from adverts for the bottom half and I installed shelving in the top half. I can only fit one keg in the fridge due to its limited width so it will fit in the cupboard. Love having chilled beer on tap. Only problem is the lads keep calling to "sample" it! I better get brewing and restock!

Hi and Welcome to the NHC!

Thats a neat solution.

If you remove the white plastic door moulding you may find two cornies will fit.

You can then have the CO2 bottle outside of the fridge.

Thanks. Yeah I'd also need to move the internal light and temperature control dial too. I do like the fact that everything is hidden including the co2 tank. Well that's more for the missus' benefit really!
