Kegerator!

So apparently spending $35 on Craigslist means that I get a brand spankin-new (circa 1950) Frigidaire refrigerator. A working refrigerator no less. What on earth should I do with this metal piece of pure gold? Why, construct a means for it to dispense beer at my beck and call.

Enter: the Kegerator. (insert ominous music here).

I spent a few weeks taking it apart and repainting it to get rid of the brown color it was previously painted. (Why? I don't know) Weighing in at around 600lbs, she was a brute to get down into the basement. But once there, she fit snuggly beneath the stairs which proved to be the perfect spot for a fridge of her size.



Then I took to drilling holes in the door to fit the tap shanks through, and procuring the used cornelius kegs and CO2 canister to carbonate the beer. In a few weeks, my homebrew would be done and I could put it in a keg and get yummy beer 2 days later. Spectacular.







So I have enough room for at least two kegs, and more if I put the CO2 tank outside. For now though, 10 gallons of beer should hold us over for at least half the football season. Until chili time rolls around....

P.S. - A little tidbit of trivia. Where did Nick get those fancy taps he put on there? Answer: From Marty Doyles where he labored away as a waiter for many summers. The bartender collected taps and gave me these two. Been saving them for over 10 years to use on this thing. Whew! (luckily what I actually have in the kegs is a million times better than what these taps are advertising.)
