Full Kegerator

I completed this a while ago, but I thought I should have a picture of the full kegerator. Two 5-gallon cornelius kegs and a 10 lb CO2 tank on the compressor hump. This is a Fridgidaire FRC445GB.

Sanke to Cornelius Conversion

After the completing the first tap on my kegerator, I decided I wanted to have some beer on it. My first batch of homebrew wasn't cutting it and I didn't have anything ready to go.

I knew someone who purchased 1/6 barrel kegs from the Iron Horse Brewery. The problem was that I was set up for Cornelius kegs with ball-lock disconnects. I found this helpful video through Keg Connection detailing the conversion.

Two points of interest from my experience. The sanke tap barely fit into my kegerator. If I had to do it again I would get a low profile sanke tap. Second, make sure you put a rubber gasket or O-ring in the liquid out stock of the tap. I had major leakage problems until I did.

The First Brew - Results

I kegged my first brew a while ago, but it took me a while to get these pictures up. I think this beer was a hit and a miss. It's drinkable, but I don't think the final gravity ever got low enough. It's a little on the sweet side.


Hooked up to the kegerator successfully. Since this picture was taken, I've changed my beer line to 10 feet.

Kegerator

In preperation for my first brew, I constructed a kegerator for my corny keg. This is a Frigidaire 4.4 cubic foot mini fridge. It can potentially hold two 5-gallon cornelius kegs. I am looking forwarding to kegging my first brew and not having to clean 48 glass bottles.
