Beer Forum

so I'm tired of serving from picnic taps inside my keggerator fridge and have made the decision I'm going to drill some holes in the door to install some taps.

I understand how keggerators work, but have no idea what goes into building them.

My fridge looks like this:



I can fit 6 kegs in it, but am only going to go with 4 taps to start



From the research I've done on line, I'm thinking I need shanks and faucets, a bunch of tubing and some luck.

As you can see from the 2nd pic, I have a dual gauge regulator in there that will eventually end up outside the fridge, but will still sit inside to start things off. I've got gas lines that will go to each keg and I understand the CO2 portion of the keggerator and I understand how to get the beer out of the kegs, but what I'm not sure about are the parts that will bolt through the door of the fridge.

I'll make my own decisions on faucets. They'll be forward sealing for sure, but what else do I need? What is a tail piece?

Thanks in advance

You need at least a tailpiece (this is what the beer line connects to), a neoprene washer that goes between tailpiece and shank, and a nut that screws onto the shank and holds the tail piece in place. Also, you need a hose clamp to hold the beer tubing on the tailpiece.

If you get a shank(D1245A - 4" SS) from morebeer, the only other thing you need is a faucet.
