Armaflex, so yes. My brother is an insulator, so it became a work-related beer-drinking incident.
The hole I cut in the fridge is the same diameter as the OD of the armaflex. First glass cool, next one cold. Nobody has just one beer...(According to my wife, I never have "just a couple")

Sounds good - I'd like to do a remote install also someday. I'll have to ponder that as I'm having "just a couple" in about an hour...

This is the kitchen work island slated to become my wet bar soon.

I think that the doors on the left side in this photo can be removed, the cabinet cut, and a kegerator installed with the tap(s) routed through the granite top.

There's a cook top in there now, but that's coming out to be replaced by a sink. That would enable me to plumb a real drain line from the drainage tray right into the sink drain.

That should work out nicely.

My homemade keg-fridge conversion. Worked great. I sold it though. I don't drink enough beer at home and it takes up a surprisingly large amount of room in a small apartment. Parts ran about $500 for the fridge and conversion kit.

The only improvement I can see it needs is a nice AN bulkhead fitting instead of the red ATV sealant. Maybe stainless braid CO2 line jacket, and a couple of other car parts added in for interest.;)

Paul,
VERY nice looking bar set up. What brand Keg reefer? Any complaints on it? Damn, I see you have a '57 Speedster too !! I'll be right over ;-)

Paul T 06-10-2006 09:55 AM

Mark - thanks for the compliments. It's a kenmore reefer...no complaints so far, I've had it about 4 yrs I guess. Next to the garage, this is my favorite room in the house!

Drdogface 06-10-2006 10:52 AM

Paul,
Well...I guess my favorite room in YOUR house would be the garage where you keep the Speedster !! ..but the bar would surely be second ;-)

How long will beer stay fresh in a keg?

According to http://www.micromatic.com

If dispensing with CO2, and maintained at the proper temperature and pressure:

"Non-pasteurized draft beer will remain fresh for about 45-60 days.
Pasteurized draft beer will remain fresh for about 90-120 days. "


lots of good info on that site...
