Hi All,
This weekend I have finally finished my 6 month kegerator build. Well I have been planning and collecting bits for the last 6 months.
There have been some great threads on this site that have helped me through the build and I thought I would share some of my pictures.
Larder fridge I found on ebay for ���ã10 (Shelves were broken)
The CO2 came from a local supplier for about ���ã40 including deposit. All wood was treated with three coats of a liquid wax to resist moisture.
Kegs cam from the homebrewcompany while they were running an offer.
Taps came from a fellow member on this site, the splash back found in B&Q.
Several coats of blackboard paint later.
Driptray from kegkingdom.
Luckily won an Inkbird temp controller on an American site so that saved a bit of cash that went elsewhere on the build. Decided to strap the probe onto a can that wont be missed :)
Gas management board came from Norman.
Most of my fittings and pipes also came from kegkingdom. I found it a pain to find a route for the pipes that would not obstruct the door from closing.
Finished inside shot.
A little decoration. I had copied the idea of blackboard paint, It worked really well here. Excuse the soda water, that will be removed at first chance and replaced with a proper brew :thumb:
The first drink pulled through. A little hazy and even for a cheap Wilko test brew, it was tasty!
It has been a labour of love building the kegerator, If i had thought about it at the start how much it would eventually cost I probably would not have started. But collecting bit by bit and planning over 6 months hid it from the other half :lol:
Have to give credit to my old man who supplied the wisdom on many of the issues faced while putting this together, he always had a never ending supply of washers that always came in handy!
Anyone fed up with bottling out there that want to take the jump, I recommended it, there's nothing like having your own brew on tap.
