So I'm starting to look into the possibility that maybe I will someday be able to get a Kegerator in my possession. In the meantime, I was wondering if anyone would like to share a couple of pictures of their Kegerator with me and the world. I'm looking into all the options and wanted to see what style/set-ups are popular. I'm not great with power tools and handy manning but any input would be appreciated.

I built this one that I saw here: http://kegkits.com/kegerator1.htm

Very easy build, small and classy.  One problem is now I wish I had more on tap.

Here is mine, what I want to showcase is the bar I used to keep me from pouring my beer when I open the freezer.
The taps were places high on purpose. I did not want to bend over to draw a pint. But it created a new problem.
Solution, I screwed in an iron bar about 12" long and 1/2" wide to the door. It sits behind the fridge door. When I open the
freezer it pushed both the doors open. A little weird at first and it takes a while to get used to but it works.

I went with a chest freezer with 2X4 Cedar collar





Super simple, you don't even need to do the angle cuts, I just did them to try and look nice, but my woodworking skill is not very high so they didn't completely line up. A little caulk and a lot of polyuerethane took care of that though. Used chalkboard paint on the lid so I can label each tap.

Snazzy, Robert!

While I was building the draft tower . . .




 





And now . . as it sits on the kegerator. All Ventmatic. Thanks Slowes and Home Despot for the raw materials!

Wow....you guys have skills far beyond mine.

Aww Denny, you still have the best rye IPA around. We all have our talents. That's what makes us a great diverse community!

dhacker.....WOW!

Yeah man!

That VBIP from last fall is right on the money.  I had two pints over the weekend and shazaam!   

I will be making more.  By the way...I prefer it aged in the keg.

dhacker Wow! That is some seriously impressive woodwork. I suppose I should get the bottom half of that set-up figured out before I aspire to carve a masterpiece like that.

dhacker Wow!

+1000

Awesome!

Me either... and I made one similiar to the ones shown (minus the one with custom molding).

Its not a difficult task if you've got a lot of pics to lead the way (like these)...

I'll post some of mine once I get all the faucets (its the most expensive part!).

I also used a 2x6 instead of 2x4. I bought a smaller kegerator, so a 2x6 lets me keep 6.5 gal carboys in it for lagering.
