Custom Drip Trays??

Wed Nov 04, 2009 6:55 pm

OK, so I mounted my 4 taps 4.5 in on center....not sure why I did it, but it seemed to work out at the time. Now I need a fridge door mount drip tray that spans a minimum of 14" (total distance tap to tap -- 13.5").

Thinking 2-7" drip trays or a 16" drip tray or whatever I can find...any suggestions?

Seems like my kegerator needs a drip tray to be complete.....

My drip tray is the veggie bin from the kegerator, sitting on the floor under the taps. If all else fails you could go with that. I just fill that up part way with some water and cleaning solution. Maybe not the most elegant way to do things, but it works for me.

For my first kegerator, I pickup a stainless steel dry wall mud tray at the local big box home center. I covered the back of it with some adhesive backed refridgerator magnets (available at Office Depot for making refridgerator magnets from business cards). This sticks the tray to the fridge door yet is easy to pop off to wash. You can see the thing in he picture below.

www.barproducts.com Search "drip tray" and you'll find a 19 inch SS drip tray for $14.95. I have this drip tray and it's very nice. You'll just need to find a way to mount it.

I'd go with the extra $.95 and get the one at barproducts - but that is just me.

How do you hang the barproducts one off a fridge? Think it'll stick with magnets?
