It ain't anything special, but it gets the job done.

Here's mine. It's a Kenmore Elie 4.9. It lives in my music studio, so the tap handle reflect this. The 20# co2 cylinder
lives in the closet to the right and the gas distribution lines go through
the wall. I have a secondary regulator with a tee in the keggerator, so I only have one gas line entering the unit.

Nice Rich, I especially like the Recorder tap handles. Are those some didgeridoos in the other pic with the Clarinet?

Thanks HH. The beauty of the recorder tap handles is that the end holes were the perfect pre-drilled size for tapping out. I can simply unscrew them, and play, with no loss in sound.

The Didgeridoo on the right is the real deal. Termite hollowed eucaliptus and burned out. It is in the key of D, and was carved and dot painted by a Queensland artist. I replaced the palm wax mouth piece with Michigan beeswax. It's softer and tastes better, and ripI bought it from a guy who fucked me on the carrying bag, and I hope to employ Ozbrewer for some Godfather style retrobution (just kiddin' oz). The didge on the left is homemade pvc deal, and although it's spot on in key (C), it lacks in tone and depth.

I need to replace the rug and carpet in this room, cause I sling beer everywhere.

Here is a pic of my kegerator, i originally (and may in the future) wanted the fridge to be at some other location and have the barrel just mounted to a wall and the lines connecting, but keeping the lines cold and foam are two obstacles that I would need to overcome. The tap handle on the left is some driftwood i found while kayaking (still needs work) and the one on right is a fake piece of poo that I cut in half and drilled out, not the best handle, I know, but its what I got for now. I have a small co2 tank, so it chills in the fridge for now.

This is one i am in the process of finishing for my dad for fathers day (please disrgard the paint job on the fridge, i know its terrible) The shoulderpads mount to the fridge with wingnuts so it is easily removed and I may make other tops for diff sports seasons. The top of the fridge is also a chalkboard (you can see that my 2-year old has already wiped off the happy fathers day message) and finally, when you pour a glass, you will hear the "Here we go STEELERS, here we go!" song or possibly some audio clips from the season on the re-recordable set-up that i got (just like a talking pic frame) this is what I got for now, i hope to do some more of this type of stuff in the future, and ill post pics if I ever do.

Both need alot of fine tuning, but I think they are off to a good start.

rich- HH mentioned both things that I was going to, i really like the tap handles (im a big fan of custom or unique handles) I also like the didgeridoos, but I do remember some hating about them coming from the brewcasters in the early archives! But we all are entitled to our opinions, right?
