Todd's Home Kegerator -

This is my home kegerator. Nothing fancy. I have space in the back to store my CO2 tank, and fit 2 corny kegs. I typically leave the door panel in the fridges when I build them. Great place for storing bottles, pint glasses, and even the occaional grocery. Sadly, both kegs are empty at the moment.




X-Studios Project Kegerator -

Another typical, custom kegerator. Built for a friend of mine. I left the top shelf in the fridge, since I had the room, and its nice to secure the regulator to on the CO2 tank. Keeps things from tipping over. I also stuck with the Zip-ties for all beer lines. A slight twist in the door makes them coil up when the door is closed.




Big Tony -

This was once a frozen-pizza cooler for grocery stores. I repanelled the sides, put on a logo and cleaned it up. It runs on 120v, so it plugs in anyway. Obviously waterproof, it can filled with ice if need be. There is a drain in the bottom for water / beer to drain. It holds 2 - 1/2barrel beer kegs, a CO2 bottle and even a couple more corny kegs. COMING SOON: I am working on a 2 - 4 tap bracket for the front, and a better looking stand for the kegs to sit on. And, a nicer, prettier manifold in back for the gas lines.



Matt and Terry's All Grain System

Matt Powell and I brewed a 10 gallon batch of pale ale on Friday May 25, 2007 at my house in Puyallup. Pretty basic gravity system that worked like a charm. The green box was given to me from Rick Davidson and with the Camp Chef cookers is stepped perfectly. The 13.5 gallon and the 15 gallon kegs were converted thru Robert at The Beer Essentials. I finally made a bulk head fitting for the 10 gallon GOTT cooler that does not leak and is very sturdy. Hit HOME DEPOT and picked up 2 - 3/4 inch stainless steel washers, 2 - 3/4 inch rubber washers and 1 - 1/2 inch x 1.5 inch brass threaded close fitting. Spent about $6.00 bucks. I imagine it would work on any cooler that already comes with a spigot on it.

My gravity fed system. Brewing a pale ale 10 gallon batch on May 25, 2007.


Pretty basic system - 1 - 13.5 gallon converted keg, 1 - 10 gallon GOTT cooler, 1 - 15.5 gallon converted keg and a couple Camp Chef cookers.

Keg Transfer / Filling

This is a setup i put together to fill a smaller keg (3gallon) from my larger (5gallon) corny. It's setup to go from Beer-IN to Beer-IN on the kegs. Filling that way keeps the beer filling from the bottom UP and avoiding foaming from splashing, and keeping the beer the same carbonation the whole time.


Running Sanitizer through the system. This both purges the keg, and sanitizes the transfer line - Using the pressure release valve on the 2nd keg keeps the equalibrium - Both kegs in Serial. By switching from Beer to Gas fitting. Great for tapping both kegs of the same beer
