Now he knows how to do a healthy poor...that was a awesome project now maybe i can build me one. Your a dang good Dad and a awesome friend. Such an inspiration thanks for all you do.
Thanks so much Grant. He recently graduated from university with two degrees, one a Masters. He also recently bought his own house. I thought this would be nice in his rec room. He is learning to make his own beer now. You can make one of these Grant. Would be pretty cool in your new rec room.....Take care, Bluefin.
I'm investigating to do this myself and this video definitly added to my knowledge. Yours also look really nice as a finished product! Thanks for sharing!
Hiya from TX!! Gonna start watching your videos tonight to help with watch hours! Showing some love, new subscriber!! Sent by Living Simple Homestead!!
Thanks Big Gaz. Good to hear from you. I hope you are doing well. My first kegerator was an old full size fridge I bought for $50. I had two taps through the door also. I had that for about three years until the fridge stopped working. I liked the space in that one......Take care, Bluefin 🍻
Well.....I didn't think that through did I? He is learning how to brew. I said I would teach him and he can use my brew equipment but he has to make his own beer. I can't keep two kegerators going. He was very surprised when I brought it over to his house. He bought his own house a few months ago. I thought this would be good for his rec room. All his buddies like the beer I make so hopefully they like his beer too........Take care, Mike.
My thought would be to do a full corny keg and a smaller 4L keg in one of these with a double tower. That way you have a full 5gal keg for brews you know you like, and a smaller 1gal for cheap experiments.
Good idea but I have a double kegerator setup in the same type of fridge in my home. I built this one for my son. He likes the same beers that I brew . it is muck easier to load this with just one keg in it. Here are the links to my first kegerator build. Part 1 ruclips.net/video/6xNPSHSBWDM/видео.html. Part 2 ruclips.net/video/Nn-D5hN2fik/видео.html. I appreciate your suggestion and thanks for watching.......Take care, Bluefin.
Go for it! It is not difficult. If you have any questions, just ask. Good luck and I would love to know how you make out with this project....Take care, Bluefin.
Have fun! I hope it goes easy for you. It is not too hard really. If you have any questions just ask , I will help you if I can. I would love to hear how you make out with your build.......Take care, Bluefin.
Thanks. It was a fun build. This is the second mini-fridge one I built. I have a double tap and keg one in the same size. My son had just bought a house and I thought this would be awesome for his rec room. Now I need to teach him how to brew. Thanks for stopping by...... Take care, Bluefin.
He worked hard to buy a house recently and I thought this would be great for his rec room. He was certainly surprised when I dropped it off to him. Now he needs to learn how to brew. Thanks for stopping by.....Take care, Bluefin.
@@mustang774 and rightly so, you have raised an Awesome young man. And for that I am thankful. It really is encouraging to see and hear in a time when so many don’t want to be responsible
Thanks very much. My son and his friends love using it. It was also a very easy and fun build. This was the second one I have built......Take care, Bluefin.
If you were here I would certainly pour you a beer. 🍻 As a matter of fact, I just filled a keg Friday. Thanks for stopping by as usual......Take care, Bluefin.
Great question. Easy...I bought them at the weird hand store. They were 50% off 😉 I actually cut off the excess fingers of the gloves and sewed them up. I’ve been doing this for years with my work gloves. I’m glad you enjoyed my video......Take care, Bluefin.
I did quite a bit of research online and there were no cooling coils in the top of this fridge. I followed several other builds on RUclips. I could see that the cooling coils were visible on a panel on the inside of the back. There is a test you can do with a paste made of cornstarch and a water to find cooling lines. Somewhere on YT, just do a search. I hope this helps you......Take care, Bluefin.
I wanted to drill partway from the inside and then finish going down through the top With the foam sandwiched between the metal top of the fridge and the plastic top, I was afraid the plastic my crack when drilling all the way up through the fridge. With the plywood sandwiched between the fridge and the top it is much more secure and the inside hole was my guide to a perfect fit. That was the way I thought would work best for me. There are many ways do do this. Whatever you are comfortable with is the way to do it. Thanks for watching....Take care, Bluefin.
I just checked out that model and it is pretty much the same only red. I would do it. As with anything like this do so at your own risk. The cooling plate is in the back of the fridge and is the same as my fridge. I don't anticipate any problems. Any more questions just ask. I would love to know how you make out with your build once it is finished. Good luck! .......Take care, Bluefin.
Hello, I will measure it this evening when I go to my son’s place. I have the same fridge but it is full now with two kegs and a Co2 tank.....Take care, Bluefin.
I just measured the kegerator. my inside measurements are: 28.5 inches tall 17 inches wide and about 10 inches deep (the compressor hump is there) A slim quarter keg will not fit but I think a sixth keg will fit. a sixth keg is 23 3/8 inches tall by 9 1/4 wide. I'm not sure how tall the tap connection would be for a Sanke connection. I think it will fit. my regular Cornelius keg measures 23 inches tall by 9 inches wide. I hope this helps you......Take care, Bluefin.
@@drakebarr1266 Sounds great! I would love to hear about your build once it is done. If you have any questions, just ask and if I can help I will......Take care, Bluefin.
Yes it would be. The first kegerator I built, I made two videos about the build. It is very easy to follow. I made a slight modification to the inside plastic wall on mine but you may not need to. It was not difficult and was actually quite fun. If you have any more questions, just ask. I would love to know how your build turns out if you make one. Here are the links to my first kegerator build. Part One: ruclips.net/video/6xNPSHSBWDM/видео.html. Here is Part Two: ruclips.net/video/Nn-D5hN2fik/видео.html. Hope this helps you......Take care, Bluefin.
They are pretty much a friction fit but to ensure they don’t slip I used a couple of 1/2 inch copper pipe clips and used very small screws drilled just into the plastic ceiling of the fridge. I had a few in my toolbox. I’m sure the foil tape would work as well and would be easier. Just tape the copper pipes that lie against the ceiling. I hope this helps and feel free to ask if you have more questions.......Take care, Bluefin.
@@mustang774 thanks I’m going to get all the accessories pretty soon, been wanting a kegerator for while now but they are expensive I came across your video and it just so happens that I have the same mini fridge that I really haven’t been using so I now I’m gonna use that I think it’s going to be a good learning experience too thanks again!
That would be awesome to be able to do that but I think shipping would be a little expensive. 😳 If you lived close by I would make it for you. It really is not hard to do this yourself. Thanks for watching and commenting.......Take care, Bluefin.
I did save some money but I had fun doing this project. Sometimes Costco has a Danby Kegerator on sale and it is slightly bigger and a little cheaper. Some brands of kegerators such as "True" are quite expensive but also a higher quality. I did already have the keg as I have four of them. I got good prices on the other parts by shopping around. Thanks for stopping by.......Take care, Bluefin.
I drilled a 5/16 inch hole in the bottom of a hockey puck and inserted a stainless steel a 3/8" UNC threaded insert into the hole and then screwed the puck tap handle on the faucet. it is that easy and you are finished! this will work on any material that you can drill into. Here is a link to what I used: www.ontariobeerkegs.com/tap-handle-insert.html Thanks for watching..........Take care, Bluefin.

This was a great instructional video for making your own! Excellent job on the build Sir!
Thank you kindly! I had fun building this one. He certainly was surprised the day I brought it over to his new house.....Take care, Bluefin.

My pleasure!!
Good build mate. I have a full size fridge with 2 kegs and taps out the front door. Kegerators are the way to go, for sure.
Thanks Big Gaz. Good to hear from you. I hope you are doing well. My first kegerator was an old full size fridge I bought for $50. I had two taps through the door also. I had that for about three years until the fridge stopped working. I liked the space in that one......Take care, Bluefin 🍻
Very nice!!!! Now he’s going to want weekly deliveries of your homemade beer!!!!🍺👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Here's the question everyone is wanting to ask but don't, where did you find gloves to fit your hands
P.S love the build
Great question. Easy...I bought them at the weird hand store. They were 50% off 😉 I actually cut off the excess fingers of the gloves and sewed them up. I’ve been doing this for years with my work gloves. I’m glad you enjoyed my video......Take care, Bluefin.
Warranty card? Toss it… 😅👍
Pretty much! Not much use once you cut up a perfect refrigerator.....Take care, Bluefin.
How did you know that you weren't going to hit any cooling coils or electrical wires when drilling through the top?
I did quite a bit of research online and there were no cooling coils in the top of this fridge. I followed several other builds on RUclips. I could see that the cooling coils were visible on a panel on the inside of the back. There is a test you can do with a paste made of cornstarch and a water to find cooling lines.

Great video, I detect a Dublin accent
I'm from Newfoundland , Canada. Many Newfoundlanders have an Irish accent. Thanks for stopping by....Take care, Bluefin.
Why didn't you leave th top on when drilling the hole? Seemed like an extra step that could have misaligned the whole.
I wanted to drill partway from the inside and then finish going down through the top With the foam sandwiched between the metal top of the fridge and the plastic top, I was afraid the plastic my crack when drilling all the way up through the fridge.

Do you think this would work with the Danby DAR044A6LDB?

Can you fit a regular sixth barrel or maybe even a slim quarter in ??

Would a fridge this size be big enough for 2 5 gallon kegs?
Yes it would be. The first kegerator I built, I made two videos about the build. It is very easy to follow. I made a slight modification to the inside plastic wall on mine but you may not need to.

Hi there! I have a question How are the copper tubes being held up there inside the tower?
They are pretty much a friction fit but to ensure they don’t slip I used a couple of 1/2 inch copper pipe clips and used very small screws drilled just into the plastic ceiling of the fridge. I had a few in my toolbox. I’m sure the foil tape would work as well and would be easier. Just tape the copper pipes that lie against the ceiling.

@@mustang774 thanks I’m going to get all the accessories pretty soon, been wanting a kegerator for while now but they are expensive I came across your video and it just so happens that I have the same mini fridge that I really haven’t been using so I now I’m gonna use that I think it’s going to be a good learning experience too thanks again!
@@williamsoria72 Awesome. I know you will enjoy it. Happy brewing 🍻🍻🍻......Take care, Bluefin.
Can you please make it and ship it!? Lol
That would be awesome to be able to do that but I think shipping would be a little expensive. 😳 If you lived close by I would make it for you. It really is not hard to do this yourself. Thanks for watching and commenting.......Take care, Bluefin.
What type of tower did you use/where did you get it?
I’m not home at the moment. I’m camping and will get the information to you when I get home......Take care, Bluefin.
Did you save any money DIY vs. buying a regular kegerator?
I did save some money but I had fun doing this project. Sometimes Costco has a Danby Kegerator on sale and it is slightly bigger and a little cheaper. Some brands of kegerators such as "True" are quite expensive but also a higher quality. I did already have the keg as I have four of them. I got good prices on the other parts by shopping around. Thanks for stopping by.......Take care, Bluefin.
How did you make the custom handle ??
I drilled a 5/16 inch hole in the bottom of a hockey puck and inserted a stainless steel a 3/8" UNC threaded insert into the hole and then screwed the puck tap handle on the faucet. it is that easy and you are finished! this will work on any material that you can drill into.
