Bluefin's Kegerator Build

Post by Bluefin 774 » Mon Nov 02, 2015 11:38 pm

Hey gang,

My full-sized beer fridge with two taps in the door died about two weeks ago. I picked up the newest model Danby 4.4 cubic foot fridge from Costco. I plan to have a double tap tower and the tower will be cooled with copper lines. In this part 1 of a 2 part video series, I gut the new fridge and prepare it to take two ball lock kegs. I hope you enjoy this build. :cheers:

I saw those this summer and thought about getting one then. I think the price was good. Maybe a beer poster or sign could cover the dent in yours. I'm sure the beer tastes just as good dent or no dent. :cheers:
Take care, Bluefin.

You'll have to give some feedback on whether or not the copper pipe makes a difference in the heat of the summer. Looks great.
