Beer Forum

Just thought I'd post a few pics about my keezer I built in case it helps anybody. It's an old kenmore for 20 bucks on craigslist and it fits 9 kegs.

The only things I did a little different maybe were... 1) T the co2 line coming so 1 side runs 20psi for high co2 beers and the other side goes to a secondary regulator to drop to 10 psi for my other beers 2) Put up cable harnesses along the inside to keep a little organized.

The only warning I'd have is to check if the light in the lid of the freezer is grounded with the hinges on back. Turns out mine was I moved the hinges up so they are screwed into the wood collar and lost my ground thus releasing some lovely magic smoke and blowing a bulb. I just removed the line and all is well.

Now that we've got a new kegerator pouring it's time to geek out on it... some totally uneeded fun things like an LCD mounted in the freezer lid showing current temp and stats about the beers... maybe remote temperature control too. Yes, totally stupid, but fun.

Some pics...

Luckydevil,

Nice build! BTW nothing's stupid about a keezer! Turn it into a Cadillac! I'm kicking myself for buying a freezer that is too small! I think I might dump it and get a large fridge (I need a place to store hops and yeast cultures). I'm jealous that you can fit 4 cornies and some fermentors! Keep up the good work!

DocDave,

Thanks man, I had to borrow tools for the limited woodworking but I'm happy with it. Can't go too big, I've got 9 kegs and found out that I can fit 2 carboys on the motor ledge as well now that it's raised 6 inches from the collar and I wish I could fit a few more.
