Mostly done, fitting the kegs.
Completed in it's final resting spot.
First beer on tap, May Bock
Fridge from Best Buy, Tower/Lines from KegConnection.com, Kegs from Greenblood (not sure what he real name is he wan't at the last meeting)
If anyone's in the market to build their own I'd be happy to help.

Excellent work! I built mine about 8yrs ago and is still going strong. These are tuff little fridges.
I like the rails you added. I need to come by and test it and make sure it was done properly. It may take more than just a few pints for the test tho
Just call me Andy!

1. When a once extraordinarily hoppy beer now seems pedestrian.
2. The phenomenon a person has when craving more bitterness in beer.
3. The long-term exposure to extremely hoppy beers; if excessive or prolonged, a habitual dependence on hops will occur.
4. When a "Double IPA" just is not enough

The rails are 15" handles/cabnet pulls I got from Amazon. If you look closely you'll see the 1/2" spacer I added to have them stand a little higher. I would have liked to have them bit higher but the longest #8 machine screw I could find was 1". The best part of this build is I didn't have to bend down the cooling element/freezer tray inside. This model fridge has the coils run permitter.

That looks good. I look forward to testing it.
