I have been searching for a fridge (or freezer) that will fit 4 kegs AND is no larger than 1000Hx600Wx600D (or there abouts) to no avail.
Does anyone have links to sites where people have constructed their own fridges using parts from other fridges?
My thinking is this. Buy a fridge about the size (area) of the ultimate fridge that I need, Remove the working gear, make an insulated box from the material they use for cool rooms, put the old fridge gear into it and voila, a home made fridge.
I would need to disconnect the pipes and get the thing re-gassed when it is all braised up and ready to go again but I would have a fridge that is the exact size I need.
What are peoples thoughts?
Are the pipes routed through the walls of a fridge for the purpose of cooling the fridge (internally) or is it just for insulation/hiding of the pipes?
Failing all this I am going to buy 2 bar fridges and put them side by side under my bar, 2 kegs in each.
