Hello. This is my second or so post on HBT. This website is awesome and has provided me with a lot of information on everything brewing. I am a poor college student and have recently been in search of a refrigerator/mini-fridge to convert into a kegerator. At first, my approach was looking for a mini-fridge, but I cant afford a $165.00 mini-fridge and the kegging equipment. At my budget, a $165 fridge might as well be a $100,000 fridge. For the past month or so, I have been looking on craigslist for any deals; unfortunately, nothing ever came up that was worth buying or was out of my price range. Two days ago, some college student was getting rid of his fridge for free! I jumped on that and rented a truck to get it. Of course getting the fridge was the hardest part- his apartment was on a cliff and the only way up and down were these steep steps (about 25 of them). Getting the fridge to my place is a whole other story, but the important part is I got it. Now, when I say fridge, it might have looked like a fridge 10 years ago. This thing was DISGUSTING. I am an optimist, and saw the potential in this thing (or maybe its because you can't beat free). After a day of work, it looks practically brand new! It runs great and is kegerator ready! All I have to do now is order the refrigerator kit (ill probably buy from kegconnection) And i need to fix the inside door panel; im going to get a dry erase board and place it there. Check out my before and after pics. Ill update again once I get my keg stuff.
