Comparatively, my kegerator has nothing on others I've seen in here. However, I'm living in a dry country and I believe I am one of only a handful that have this setup in the entire Middle East. That alone makes it feel much cooler. I'm still working on getting a drip tray. View attachment 237458View attachment 237459
Here's a picture of the keezer that I built this summer. It uses a Holiday 7 cu ft. freezer. I was unable to fit 4 ball lock kegs in the main section so I ended up using three 5 gallon ball lock kegs and one 2.5 gallon keg on the compressor hump.
Many thanks to the people who built this style of keeper before me. I definitely stole some ideas from their posts.
Should I just snag one of these ?
Best Buy: Danby 2.6
I just feel like at this point I may have been better off buying a pre-built kegerator
I suggest you find one you can look at up close. Some have built in freezers. Mine didn't
Nice build!!
I see your coffin top is above the top of the tap handles. If you don't mind... What is the dimension from the centerline of your shank holes to the underside of the coffin top?
I want to build a coffin with doors so need to know how much height is needed above the shank holes so the doors will clear the tap handles when they are closed.
Would greatly appreciate the next time you go pull a draft from that beautiful keezer, and you happen to have a tape measure in your pocket, if you give me an idea of the height needed.
I decided to take your advice and have a beer! And while I was there, I measured and the faucet centerline is 5 inches below the underside of the top.
I like the your idea of having doors on the coffin, especially because I can't find faucet locks for the new Perlick model faucets.
Hope this helps.
Here's my kegerator. It's a 1951 international harvester fridge. I am going to add two more taps to the front but I need a bigger drip tray. Any suggestions on a drip tray that will work with a curved front fridge such as this?View attachment 243482
I converted a side by side after seeing a couple threads on here. Very happy. Can fit 3 to 4 kegs in freezer side and a couple fermenters in fridge side. Gonna upgrade my fan to get fridge side cooler. Can bring it within 5* c of the freezer side. Also have an outlet in there to hook up a heater. Just got a couple new perlick 630ss and tap handles too. No photos with the perlicks yet. View attachment 244483 View attachment 244484
Do you have any pics of the inside of that side by side fridge?

I had a question for anyone with the enclosed, coffin style builds. If you're freezer had the front temperature dial, do you just set it to a known setting? Curious since it gets covered up in the process and hope one of you fine people could help me out!
