As you can see its also plenty big enough to double up as a bottle fridge too.

Drilled some holes, sadly my cutter bits weren't up to the job.
(Note to self go to B&Q and get some good ones in the morning)
But they're big enough to put the pipes through.

Need to fit a drip tray but until then this will do.

A quick snifter of my own chilled beer out of my own (90% finished) kegerator.
And time for a well deserved sit down.
 
PICS UPDATE!!

Job done (apart from the drip tray)

Remember to make the recess at the back to take the fitting.

Taps fitted nice and tight.

Well pleased!!!
 
am I right in thinking the taps are what they call Dalex taps and I take it you have to connect each cornie to the gas as you want to serve from it.

I believe they are dalex taps and yes you do.
TBH it's really simple, if i had had all the tackle and not pished about so much its 50 minutes work.
22ml cutter for the front holes, and a bigger one for the back to take the fitting.
My gas has a two way splitter so i can service two cornies as shown in the pics, however if i took the bottles out im sure it could fit four kegs in but i would need to get another couple of splitters or a four way splitter if one exists(or a gas management board).
Two is enough for me though as i am only planning on using it for Lager as the mild i have got in one of the cornies is too cold for me at fridge temp.
 
Looking good!

Thanks, just need to sort some ideas for fixing drip trays now!

A couple of angle brackets and some self tappers.. job done :D
 
That looks great, this is what i aspire to have in my shed :thumb: :hat:
 
Bought three jolly kegs off candirect at just under £52 each inc shipping, they're a bit wider but ill be ble to stack them one on top of the other so will still be able to fit two in it if I remove the shelf.
A slight modification to the bottom and it will take a jolly and a cornie too.
In all honesty I'd forgotten the cornies only just fit in when I ordered the jollys.
 
The addition of a gas management board and a few more cornies has just about finished off the shed now.

:clap:

Amazing!


Looks like those pesky cornies have been breeding... funny how that happens... :whistle:
 
Well done :clap: bet you are really chuffed :thumb:

I can't get over how quickly cornies reproduce :lol:
 
They have certainly grown since I was there !...

Are you sure I didn't give you too many bank notes for that regulator by mistake ! :D :D
