Very nice kegerator

[EdWort]

It's not mine, but I came across his page while searching for info on my Guinness faucet. Check this out. It's very informative for anyone wanting to convert a chest freezer into a kegerator.

Freakin' sweet! Lots of work done there! :rockin:

I would love to do that. AHH....stop showing me stuff like that.

So, how did he get the beer into the cornies? (I know very little about this kegging business and need to keep it that way )

The only drawback to doing it that way is when you open the lid you have to watch out for the wall or else beer will pour back behind the freexer...

If you can't figure out how to open it without spilling beer, call me and I'll come hit you on the head with a tackhammer....lol

Nice writeup. Makes me wonder if I still want to drill into my fridge, or buy a chest freezer. I think in the end though, a fridge will still be easier to use.

Maybe you can explain how to do it? I don't see how a tackhammer would help...

Take the tap handles off.

outrageous regulator setup...lol!! I bet it you look they are all probably set at 12psi

Take the tap handles off.

The faucet threads are still taller then the towers and you have to remove all of the handles everytime you open the lid. The biggest drawback is getting kegs in and out when you can't open the lid all the way. You have to prop the lid open with a stick and slide the kegs in at an angle. It also makes cleaning a pain. A friend of mine built one with a 5 tap tower and he hates it.

It is a nice looking setup though.

Yeah, but I do like his work on the manifold. I wonder if he thought about that.
