    Completed DIY Kegerator

    First I would like to thank everyone on this site who I took ideas from. Lots of good ideas and some very impressive designs out there. I thought of the idea to build a kegerator from scratch in December and used this site for much of my research and I recently finished it. I wanted to share...
