Kegging Setups

[Khellendros13]

I have ordered 4 spindles from here : http://www.hammersmith.com.au/hs_products/external-staircase-and-building-components/frieze-panels-and-spindles

Going to put a square bit of pine on top, stain it all with leftover stain and varnish from my keezer build, then use chalkboard paint on the square bit of pine.

$10 or so chalkboard taps

Doing it this way, you could just make the chalkboard rectangle or oval shaped so you can fit 3 of them on a font.

Actually you could just chop this in half, width is only 45mm. http://www.hammersmith.com.au/hs_products/furniture-components/finials-and-spindles/as041r-450mm-spindle-pine

Or of you look out for hard rubbish you can find those wooden chairs that have spun timber seat back, take out the spun bit and $0 for your wood...

I had no time at all to look this round. Saw some interesting stuff on the way to work, but just never got the time to do the rounds
Great idea though.

Any difference between this product:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BRAND-NEW-SOLID-BRASS-SODA-STREAM-ADAPTOR-CO2-SODA-STREAM-BOTTLE-KEG-KIT-/251294856756?pt=AU_Barware&hash=item3a82573634

And

https://www.craftbrewer.com.au/shop/details.asp?PID=924

The price difference & this bit are the two reasons I ask: "This adaptor, unlike many inferior ones on the market, has been built with the correct threads to connect your regulator."

 

[Liam_snorkel]

looking at the pictures, the CB version appears to have twice as much thread on the regulator end.

Here is my setup after a recent rebuild. Covered the whole door in blackboard paint, perlick ss525s and a nice KK 16A temp controller (I had just turned it on, hence the 9.5C reading).

never had an issue with my cheapie. 20 ish bucks is a sodastream co2 fill....

Inside of the kegerator I made. Nothing fancy.

It's so cold out there I don't even have it plugged in to power. Just drink as it pours at an ambient fridge temp this time of the year.

I have a ebay one. No issues at all.

Newbie here,
Just wondering if you guys have any recommendations on where to buy kegerator conversion kits?
Cheers

 

[pk.sax]

What kit buddy? There are some bits and pieces and a number of alternatives to everything depending on preferences.

Go through the thread and pick out a look or function you like and ask if you can't find those bits.

I would do what PracticalFool suggested and have a look through this thread.

There are some basic ready to go kits though from Brewers Choice.
http://brewerschoice.com.au/shop/kegs-and-keg-sets/keg-mate-with-double-font-package/

Craftbrewer also have all the bits and pieces you need too
start with the fridge - https://www.craftbrewer.com.au/shop/details.asp?PID=3615
beer font - https://www.craftbrewer.com.au/shop/details.asp?PID=1116
co2 bottle - not sure if they sell them
regulator - https://www.craftbrewer.com.au/shop/details.asp?PID=751
3x kegs - https://www.craftbrewer.com.au/shop/details.asp?PID=898

You will need fittings but they will help you kit it all out.

Hey mate, I'm not sure about 'kits' I did mine by getting the bits and pieces together, ie co2 bottle, taps, kegs, lines,post connections, etc,

There are plenty of kegerators all made up and ready to go, it just comes down to what exactly you want,

I made a 'keezer' with a stc1000 controller, plenty of reading there

Basically my setup took a bit of work but I'm really happy with it now, I can fit 4 corny kegs plus the larger co2 bottle all inside my keezer and it's hooked up to a beer , beer on tap = awesome

 

[Bennigan]

Thanks for the replys.
The kit I was thinking of was basically just the individual components that phoenix digital linked, bundled together.
I'll suss out some more sites, and my local shop. It seems craftbeer is a popular site for this forum, so I'll definitely consider them, just need to do some more research.
Just picked up my fridge the other day.

 

[Liam_snorkel]

Keep an eye on gumtree and eBay too - complete 2nd hand kits appear occasionally and you can pick up a good deal.

 

[pk.sax]

Well, if using a fridge, it can't be simpler. See pictures of my previous setup:

Basically, holes thru the wall, shanks, nipples or push in adapters for shank, taps, co2 bottle, gas reg, kegs, line, splitters, joiners, disconnects.

Ah yes, a non return valve on the gas line to protect the regulator from beer.

 

[Kingbrownbrewing]

This is my latest build. I have taken my alcoholism to the next level. With massive thanks to thecarbinator for his wood butchering expertise.

 

[pk.sax]

Porn alert!

 

[NickB]

Nice Dan. Those shanks look like a pain though...... Otherwise, I hate you more now......

 

[keifer33]

Looks sweet and I especially like the rounded corners on the collar, but those shanks will shank someone if they aren't careful
