New kegerator build

How about; pencil, paper and a fridge magnet?

How about; pencil, paper and a fridge magnet?

Often the simplest solutions are the best.

Either that or the money box method, every time you take a pint, 50p in the money jar, when the jars full = no more beer, but enough funds to buy more ingredients.

But where's the fun in that

Now that idea I like!

Once you have got 30 lewd drawings on the paper you know it's empty!

Haha! Beer inspired art, I could be up for the Turner Prize and sell them for £squillions

Thinking about it, I could add some linear actuators linked to a coin slot that releases the beer lines allowing a pint to be poured...

Not that I'm one for over complicating things, like

More progress today and the first pint poured

A bit of beer and gas line spaghetti! It's a bit of a squeeze getting kegs two high and the lines need a bit of rearranging to make it work properly.


Two very different beers on tap! I'm thinking of a piece of 6mm MDF painted with blackboard paint and magnets glued on the back would be nicer than masking tape.


The first pint of my MO / Citra beer. Not the clearest after moving the keg around but it tastes bloody nice

Does look a bit of a squeeze, would 4 kegs fit in all at the same level on a shelf? This is how mine is arranged, though I did have to cut some mouldings off the door to get it to shut.

Nope! The fridge is only 1.4m high and there's no room for a shelf between them!

Why stop there, connect the whole system up to a MAME unit, no pints released until the next level is completed, 50p a game

I meant all 4 on the shelf, like this.

Whoops, sorry Keith, I misread your post

The back of the fridge is quite deep, so they wont fit unless, like you say, quite a bit is hacked out of the door. I'll have another measure and see if it's feasible, it's certainly not ideal at the moment

S'ok, on mine I just had to cut off the mouldings on the door that the drinks/egg shelves mounted on. The plastic wasn't that thick so they came off with a stanley knife. It'd certainly make connecting/disconnecting and swapping kegs easier.
