Beer Engine Sunk Into A Fridge?

[LeeH]

Has anybody attempted this before?

The idea is to have a beer engine on a worktop on display but with the reservoir kept cool inside the fridge.

I’ve got a few ideas using 9L kegs. I much prefer this style of serving now.

I'd say so

Not me, but you know I am watching this real close.

Is this as simple as build the worktop and the box to fit the pump on (with enough room for a glass) and then "no nails" onto the top of a fridge?

I have been thinking about similar for just a corny no gas.

Edit. Seems I have forgotten how to spell

No, but you know I am waiving this real close.

I wouldn't glue it on. The weight alone should be enough to hold it in place. It's not as though you'll be swinging... Oh right, maybe you should nail it on.

No, I’m going to mount mine flush.

I have a plan…

I have a plan…

Is it a full width box on top, with room inside (behind) to hide the gubbins? And the front half is a under the counter shelf for glasses?

Please don't say there is no pipes in the side of the fridge, so I am cutting through

I want one I can get my head under

That's a terrible "advert"! "The most important aspect of serving cask ale is for the temperature to be correct, i.e., 50-56 degrees F" ... is it heck! 10-13C is even below CAMRA recommendations too, and I'd be happy if it was no less than 16C. "Important aspect"? I reckon the most important aspect is ignore whatever this bunch of morons tell you!

No reflection on you (@RoomWithABrew), just don't do it again!
