Another finished kegerator(w/pics)

Sun Feb 03, 2008 11:33 am

I just finished my kegerator and just in time for the Pats to win today.

The whole process was much easier than I thought thanks to advice I read here. The only tricky part is setting up my system for both homebrew and sanke kegs. What a pain in the butt changing the hoses and clamps from keg to keg. I think I also want to get a gas manifold with check values. Any suggestions on the best way to hook up two different types of kegs?

Holes drilled with 1" PVC spaces for stability. I decided to put the taps on the side so I wasn't pouring beer from the floor.

This tap handle is great. It's almost like a weapon because it's made out of solid metal.
