I saw a kegerator on one of the
"smoking" sites and thought it would
be a neat little project.
So, I looked around on craigslist and
found this 20 cu. ft Kenmore for $80,
and the guy even delivered it!
|
|
|
Plugged it in and it powered up just
fine. Some minor cleaning and this
thing would be as good as a new
one, which currently sells for $600 at
Sears.

|
The doors opened opposite the way
I wanted, so we removed the doors
and reversed the hardware. This
also made it a lot easier to clean.
|
|
|
Once everything was reassembled, it
was almost a shame to drill holes in
it... but that's what I got it for, so...
|
|
|
|
We removed the shelves and figured
we had plenty of room for the keg,
but in fact we came up just a bit
short, so I removed the crispers and
build a sturdy shelf out of 3/4" ply
and 2x4s.
|
|
|
Fits great, with several inches to
spare, which will allow for the
pressure connections.
I've also got some extra room for my
cooking condiments. This will help
free up some of the space in the
kitchen... a good selling point for the
wife.

I keep the freezer stocked with frosty
mugs and buns.
|
|
|
I got my kit in, and installation was a
snap. Got the tank filled locally for
$8, and it should be enough to push
several kegs (some say 20 or more).
The installation was pretty
straightforward... drill a hole for the
tap, connect the lines, set the
pressure and open the lines.

Here is the outside installation. Had
to go with the US Army tap handle.
