The chiller is a Danby that I got at Best Buy. Kegerators are Edgestar that I got off of Amazon. Two 5 gal kegs in each. Both with duel CO2 regulators...
Looks Nice! I'm based in Vietnam....working on getting mine up and runningFinally got all the pieces together and was able to get my first kegerator up and running! Perfect size for 2 corny's and a 5lbs CO2 tank. I'm based in Malawi, so found some local art pieces and turned them into some pretty funky tap handles.
Simple yet functional in my Man-Cave. And yes, those are bottles of Black Gold inside!
That's exactly my plan, got the kegerator in last night and a first pour off that craptastic tower! Anything I should know about the Intertap tower swap or was it pretty straightforward?Apparently, my photos never made it when I originally posted this months ago (idiot alert). My kegerator is nothing as custom and cool as so many of you have done, but it is serving me well in the Man-Cave right now with both a Winter Ale and a Smash Ale (fresh Cascade hops)!
Those are Perlick faucets, but upgrading to Intertap or Perlicks is always a good move and it's as simple as unscrewing and swapping them out.That's exactly my plan, got the kegerator in last night and a first pour off that craptastic tower!

Gotcha. I bought the cheaper single tap version with the intention of swapping the entire tower. Thought you had done the same and was hoping for tips on the tower swap. Has anyone else installed the Intertap tower?Those are Perlick faucets, but upgrading to Intertap or Perlicks is always a good move and it's as simple as unscrewing and swapping them out.
Swapping out the tower should be easy peasy. Enjoy your new kegerator!Gotcha. I bought the cheaper single tap version with the intention of swapping the entire tower. Thought you had done the same and was hoping for tips on the tower swap. Has anyone else installed the Intertap tower?
Thank you madam and/ or sir!Swapping out the tower should be easy peasy. Enjoy your new kegerator!
What kind of regulator do u have in there? I splurged for the bigger unit with 3 gauges and I don't think I can fit 3 cornys. Or if I can it would be tight as hell.Thank you madam and/ or sir!View attachment 550780View attachment 550781
I moved the CO2 tank to the outside. Just a simple regulator w/ a manifold. I'll probably add an inline secondary. It'll fit 3 full kegs and my 1 gallon ManCan mini keg fits perfectly in the CO2 tank holder inside on the compressor hump.What kind of regulator do u have in there?

I'm about to order a three tap tower. Where did you order this from?Just ordered this with all 3 adapter spouts and self closing springs with the Williams 15% off Intertap sale! I'll update when I get her installed. I'm pretty tired of swapping liquid lines and pouring from picnic taps on the single tower, but the price was right!

That turned out nice. Do you know the inside dimensions of your kegerator? My Haier looks about the same size, but I held off ordering a three tap tower because I’m not sure I can get three cornies to fit.
Looks great! Did you buy the freezer black or paint it? If paint was it spray or brush on? ThanksJust built this. Still using picnic taps. View attachment 555876
Not sure the dimensions but I can just barely squeeze a CO2 tank on the hump, 3 ball lock cornies, and a 1gal mini keg! Tubing management is, um, difficult because if I stick them behind where they don't get in the way then whichever loop is closest to the back freezes... PITAThat turned out nice.

I’m going to order the same tower. I noticed it came with 4’ serving lines. Did you use the supplied lines or replace them? I wasn’t sure If they are long enough to not have foam. What serving pressure are you running? Thanks!Not sure the dimensions but I can just barely squeeze a CO2 tank on the hump, 3 ball lock cornies, and a 1gal mini keg!

I didn't measure but I'm pretty sure they are way longer than 4'. I used what was provided but might upgrade at some point. It is not the typical line I'm used to. It was rigid like really small PEX not like the extra thick vinyl. It was a PITA to get the barbs on my MFL fittings into the tubing. I had to boil water to heat it up and still required patience! It comes with oetiker style clamps as well, which is great, but I didn't have a tool. A pair of wire cutters sufficed but the tool would have been nice. I haven't figured out the best way to manage the tubing either. With 3 kegs it is pretty tight and the most natural place for the tubing is against the back wall, but it freezes the line closest so I need to get some insulation for the tubbing to prevent that. Other than those small issues I freaking LOVE that tower and kegerator combo! Really glad I didn't go the keezer build routeI’m going to order the same tower. I noticed it came with 4’ serving lines.

Thanks for the reply. That’s what I wanted to hear. It would be cheap enough to swap out lines with something more flexible I guess. I’ll be ordering that and maybe a tower cooler as well.I didn't measure but I'm pretty sure they are way longer than 4'. I used what was provided but might upgrade at some point.

I double insulated the tower and still have to pull and drink a couple of ounces on the first pour to get to the cold stuff. Let me know if you do order the tower cooler, it's on my list!Thanks for the reply. That’s what I wanted to hear. It would be cheap enough to swap out lines with something more flexible I guess.
