gsxunv04 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I recently converted a refridgerator I had in my workshop into a kegerator. Co2 tap and all. The beer faucet comes right through the door, and I can keep frosted mugs in the freezer to boot. I first went through a 1/6 barrle of a local German style micro-brewery, Heinzelmannchen Ancient Days Honey Blonde Ale. It was quiet tasty, but I now have a 1/2 barrel of Heineken in the beast of a machine. I can't wait for Week 1! If any of you have a spare fridge, I highly recommend you buy a conversion kit and do it to it. With today's struggling economy it pays to buy in bulk...

Scooby's Hubby Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 So there is a conversion kit out there? I have the pony keg and tap and fridge. I just need a set of plans so I know what I am doing. What is this kit you speak of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsxunv04 Posted August 26, 2010 Author Share Posted August 26, 2010 I got the single tap conversion kit from Kegworks.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulzale Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Going 10 years strong on my kegerator conversion! I like kegworks.com Also, go a little higher quality on the regulator and faucet, it is worth it. We also have a local home brew place that sells kits here! Love mine, every guy should have one!

Agreed! I went with the dual gauge regukator as well. I picked up a tap for US kegs and another for European kegs. A lot of my local micro0brews are US sankey coupler, but the Heineken and Amstel Light are EU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsxunv04 Posted September 18, 2010 Author Share Posted September 18, 2010 No kidding, I figured this would be thread of the month with it being posted right before the season starts. Next to a big screen tv and the Sunday ticket, it doesnt get any better than a kegerator during football season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlanta Cracker Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Did the same thing a couple of years ago. Totally awesome. Really easy too as all you have to do is drill about a 1" hole for the faucet to fit through and the rest is just hooking up the tubes. After a couple of years I finally had to put myself on restriction Monday - Thursday because I was drinking too much (finishing kegs too fast and gaining weight). Since implementing this new rule I have lost 10 lbs. Still get as much as I want on the weekends though! Oh, and go ahead and just get a 1/2 keg. They are cheaper and it won't go bad.
