That'll look great GMK.
I take it you have tested it all out to make sure it works.
How noisey is it ?

A few pictures of mine that I've posted before. The fridge was a freeby, but needed some cosmetic work. The front had a few choice expletives on it and loads of rust spots. The lads in the workshop agreed to bend up some galv to fit around the old doors. They also bent up a shell for a drip tray into which I placed three house grates.

Since the photo was taken I've made some modifications. The gas is now on the outside, and I have 2 secondary regulators. One runs into a 4 way manifold for ales (which I mainly drink). The other runs into a 2 way manifold for lagers and other highly carbonated beers. Inside there is room for 6 kegs, 5 on tap and 1 carbonating. I use quite a number of 3 gallon kegs, so that with 5 taps I don't have the beer sitting around too long. What I've been doing lately is making a batch big enough for 2 x 3gallon kegs and pitching 2 different yeast.

Next job will be to finish it off by spray painting the sides. I've some auto paint left, in a nice gunmetal grey.

It was a bit of work and a fair bit more money to get it all together, but in terms of increasing the pleasure of brewing, it would have to be the best investment I made. No more cleaning bottles has been fantastic and I no longer have to set aside an afternoon when a beer has finished fermenting.

And unlike what a few people suggested, it hasn't led to an increase in beer consumption. I still drink a very modest amount, but now when friends are over, I'm more generous with my beer because it's just that much easier to produce.

Cheers

MAH, with so many taps how do you know what's what?
Ever thought of some fridge magnets?




Please don't tease me about my beer selection

TL,

What a brilliant idea, you've inspired me to print some - though as you asked. no comment on your choice ....

Yep Me too!

How have you done this? any special type of magnet or just anything you can find?

 

[Ross]

Slugger,

You can buy the blank magnets on a sheet from Harvey Norman, especially designed for computer printing - not sure if you print direct to the magnet or a label though...

Thanks Ross.
I just take the paper label off the cans and then scan and print them. I got the clear fridge magnets from Ebay.
A recent Coopers Bavarian Lager had me stuffed though, the label was painted on

These are two peice with a top that comes off. Then you just size the label, cut and place in the magnet and pop the top on. I ended up getting these from this bloke in the UK. I didn't look real hard though so maybe you can get them here for less.

Since you make your own beer, rather than a kit, you'll have some more work to do since you have no label to scan.
Show us what you come up with.

Hi Thunderlips

That's another job I haven't got round to yet. On the freezer compartment I'm going to paint a large rectangle using blackboard paint. I can then simply write above each tap.
