WTB kegorator

just seeing if anyone out there had one laying around they are willing to part with or know of where I can find one localy. I'm looking for one that can fit a full size keg but can go with a pony sized one if one comes up.Thanks

is this for the back of your boat?

Just build your own. Not like it's difficult, and used fridges are practically free.

Get/buy/steal/find a used old fridge. Gut it out and put down a piece of plywood so your keg doesn't fall in to your freezer that is full of UEC eggs and vac-packed fish.

Bore a 1" hole on either side, or the front of the door.

Go to our favorite home-brewing shop and purchase a C02 tank, regulator, lines, o-rings, tap(s) and spouts. Remember that there are two types of taps used on kegs. Sanki and Hoffs-Stevens. Bleach out the lines to clean everything (so you don't get the runs) and hook it all up.

Go to your favorite brewery and get a 1/4 barrel or larger of your favorite beer.

Today's Beer On Tap At Parker's House is: Maritime Pacific Flagship Red.



Leaf blowers on the top of the fridge are optional - or in my case, since it's in the basement, any horizontal surface will have *something* put on it.....



I'm fully expecting DogFish to have at least this type of setup in his new garage.

Big o.

Cant' help you find one, but once you get one, I'd like to offer up my unmatched in the industry Kegerator testing abilities. I have a masters in Kegerator testing, and I'm working on my PHD. I can do Kegstands with one arm, and have a removed Uvula so I can test kegerator pump volume a la shotgun alongside the best of the frat boys. I've tested Kegerators in several countries for the last 20 years, and am fully qualified. Best of all, my services are free!

Duh-Am, Sky-Guy!

Fortunately, I'm a Certified Beer Engineer, but I could always use a good Kegerator Tester. Any time you're in the area, stop by to help "test" out the system. I'd hate to find out the beer lines got clogged or the beer is no longer freely flowing.....

Ya that would work out there sky I live around the corner from you now so you'll have to stop by. Ill be picking up my brew at red hook

I know i can get one of those full size fridges but I live in a apartment and hauling that thing up three flights of stiars and trying to get away with putting that thing in my living room with a girl room mate........ Dont think she would be to fond of that haha. So I might have to check out the mini fridges and see what i can fit in that.

Ya peter I dont think me rolling around with a keg in my boat would be best for learning haha. Do you wanna die?

ah c'mon. i think a full keg only weighs about 130lbs. that's not much more than a medium-sized girl (30" girth). you're good enough on the sticks to keep her safe, but she can ride shotgun with me, just in case.

The "problem" with the little mini-fridges is space. Just about every one of them comes with that stupid freezer unit, which takes up valuable space.

If you end up getting a mini-fridge, you will probably end up having to seriously gut it out - as in busting out some of the plastic and insulation in the fridge. it won't look pretty, but it will work.

I did that back in the early post-college days. Had to bore lines for the C02, as it wouldn't fit in the fridge with a 1/4 barrel. Front tap just barely fit with all the hoses, etc.

The taller/skinnier 1/4 barrels were much easier to fit then what I have pictured above - which is pretty standard these days.

Tougher to do - and you definitely will want to measure out a quarter barrel keg and the inside dimensions of the fridge before getting one. Don't forget that the top of the tap and line will take up more head-room space in that fridge than you'd think. See that nice relaxed bend in the black beer line extending up and over from the tap? If you squeeze that line too much, that will kill your flow of beer - and that's bad.

PM me if you want the conservative measurements of what I would consider to be necessary for the insides of a beer fridge. I can always go measure the keg I have now for you.

This thread is making me mighty thirsty

Where did you move to Omar?

Ya i guess I'll have to try and find a fridge that would work out and put one together. The ones on ebay are cool but waaaaaay more than i want to spend.

im living in bothell now

Ya we have had the garbage can going but it gets annoying buying ice all the time. The kegorator will be a great investment. And by the way peter i think the next one will be mannys for sure!
