hey guys my virgin post so yeeeeehaaaaaarrr .

just about to build my first kegerator this week ( as long as the parts come in ) getting all excited ...
all these kegerators serve well for inspiration.

Just finished my chest freezer conversion today. 3 stainless steel shirron taps, with room inside for 6 kegs.

Internal fan is on a microswitch so it only runs when the lid is closed.

Here's a pic of the first GOOD pour from my new Font. Mmmmm nice.
Think it tastes even better coming from the s/s bling

Neat job Bonj do you have to run the fan via a transformer ?

[bonj]

Yeah, I butchered an old Canon printer. It was one of the ones with the external power supply. It runs 13.5V which is slightly higher than the 12V the fan wants, but I can live with that. It's rated at 1A which is way overkill for a fan that apparently draws 200mA... :lol:

I haven't taken any photos, but the printer PSU uses a proprietary plug, so I used the dremel to recess the socket at the back of the collar so it's flush. I couldn't be bothered soldering anything, so I just crimped them.

edit: that font looks sweet, eric8. Nice pour.

Hey Bonj,

Can you post some pics of how you constructed the collar etc so I can see how you went about it, I am interested to see your approach for future collars for bigger freezers

Cheers, Pok

 

[bonj]

I'll post some pics this arvo. I'm about to do a brew.
Basically, it's just timber cut to size, such that the lengths butt up against each other, and secured on the inside using some angle brackets I found at Bunnings. Then I did 3 coats of white paint over the top. The holes were cut with the closest holesaw I have, and then I used the dremel with the rotary sanding attachment to enlarge the holes so the shanks would just fit through.

The rubber under the collar is from a local vinyl and rubber place, and the whole thing is secured using some more brackets using the existing hinge holes at the back.

Hey seppers, welcome to the forum.

Not sure if your media is full of the debacle going on here, but it's a tough time to barrack for the sainters isn't it? Nobody knows what the feck is going on down there!

Nice work on the fridge, just needs the big 35 and you're all set :beer:

If you ever need a space to crash and a friendly welcome over this end of town drop me a line...

 

[jkeysers]

Hey seppers. Nice setup.

Bummer about the colours. Get rid of the white stripe and turn the red 45 degrees and ya woulda had a nice fridge. Ah well...

haha

 

[SDJ]

With the sudden drop in temp, my font which is usually set to just sweat, has dropped the extra couple of degrees & frozen - It actually makes you feel chilly as you're sat at the bar




Brrrrr....Ross

 

[bonj]

The next question, is why you happen to be sitting at the bar this early? :lol:
