I know it's not nearly as impressive as some of the kegerators out there. But it's mine and beer comes out of it. I picked up the fridge used for about $75. The faucet hardware just came in tonight and was pretty easy to hook up.







The inside with my keg and CO2 tank. The wife got me these for my birthday. The beer is a Brewers Best Altbier kit. It's not one of my better efforts but it's drinkable. It's a good beer for learning how to manage keg carbonation. I'm not getting too upset if half the keg pours foamy.







Another inside picture. The plan is to have three kegs/taps hooked up.

Very cool. All you need is some stickers or paint and it can be as cool as any you have seen. Headbang

I've nearly got the kegerator completed. I got a good deal on two more kegs so I've added two more taps. It's possible I can squeeze five kegs in the fridge but I think three works for now. I'm on the lookout for two more tap handles and a drip tray.



I've also begun trying to add some color to this ugly ass fridge. Eventually I'll have the whole thing covered in six-pack sides.



A shot of the inside. My skills running patch cables in server rooms has been put to good use.



Another inside view. Space is starting to get tight. I've realized that I have the ability to acquire beer faster than I can drink it.

Looks incredible.. One request though.. Can you replace the Blue Moon 6-pack posted on the side of the fridge.. Laugh

I have an old fridge in my basement that smells like dead people.. I haven't ever checked to see if it works, but it is fuckin' huge.. I should check it out...

Very nice.....but instead of the Blue Moon panel, you should certainly ditch the Budweiser one, even if it's towards the bottom. Either way, still very cool....

The only six pack I'm sending out is some my stuff to another homebrewer in NH.....you probably don't want to drink my beer.....actually, it does have alcohol, and it's better than Budwesier, so yeah I guess it's not a bad drink. I'm using the same box J and I have used a couple of times. It's beat to shit pretty bad, but I;m going to practically wrap it in packing tape..... Drink Beer Bottle
