It lives!

As I mentioned earlier I have built a keggerator, which is a refrigerator that has had its food loving soul scooped out and replaced with a beer swilling demon. This was a simple honest refrigerator, without all the modern bells and whistles like an icemaker, self defrosting, or a separate freezer door and I have turned it into a beast with arteries of co2 and veins of beer.

The shelves that once held wholesome milk have been removed to make room for kegs, the door shelves snapped off to make room for their distended round bellies. You don't even want to know what happened to that vegetable consorting crisper - let’s just say that vegetables looking for crisping are no longer welcome.

We drilled holes in the door, filled them with shanks and taps to allow easy access to the beer. We did not ask the fridge if it wanted it's A sized front increased to a stainless steal D, this was done for our pleasure, without regard for the fridge's wholesome image.

There is no lightweight co2 regulator in the heart of this beast, but a medium duty monster from a welding company. Consider the fact that they would call something medium duty and that the instruction manual had lots to say about arc-welding and o2-cutting torches but nothing at all about beer and you will know the beast's cold industrial heart.

We have transformed this wholesome refrigerator that was kicked to the curb for being old and ugly into one sexy beast!
