I'm just finishing mine too.
I planned on having three plus the co2 but the cylinder is too big so I can go for 4.
I'll add at least one more tap.

I am inspired!

Just getting back into brewing after some time away. Me and a couple of mates have been looking at doing a set up like this. From looking on the forum taps seem to be the biggest issue. NobbyIPA your taps look like standard british pub taps from a tower, which have short shanks, how did you fit them to the fridge door?

the one on the left on the door is a Guinness bitter tap from the 70's

the one on the right is a tetley smooth flow tap

cost around a tenner each but swapped mine for a few beers

simply dismantle tap drill the fridge the taps come ready to fit to anything with the captive nut etc
the fridge doors are only 1mm thick so accept these taps with short shanks as you mentioned you just need to re-insulate where the tap goes into the door where you drilled it

Cheers.

I will have to give that a try. Been watching some taps on ebay but wasn't sure how I would be able to fit to the fridge door with a short shank. Thanks for the reply.

Planning a stout soon as I have invested in my first corney (probably won't by my last) and I've got my hands on a 70/30 cylinder and regulator. Would love to have that iconic settle of a stout at home.

Intrigued by the temperature control set up. Will have to look into that as well me thinks.

Man cave/ brewery/ bar is due for construction round Easter time. So using the winter to get reacquainted with brewing beer. Will post photos when we get round to the build.
