Labelling kegerator taps

[Tom Parsons]

Hi everyone,
I treated myself to a three tap kegerator which is a thing of great beauty.

It's a mangrove jacks one with a top font with three taps. I'm now wondering how I can indicate what beer is connected to each tap. My current plan is to put a small whiteboard behind the kegerator and write what's in each there, but wondered if anyone else has a more attractive / imaginative idea?

I used blackboard vinyl for mine. You can see it in my profile pic.

Would little hangers like these work - perhaps coated with blackboard paint so you can write the details on...?

I have a standard chest freezer which I use as a white board. I drew a grid on with a sharpie and wrote a beer menu in drywipe marker pens.

They look great - I'll have a search.

The taps are a bit too close to each other for that to work I think:

Blackboard rather than white board is a good call

I got a pack of these things from Amazon with a chalk pen. On the previous iteration of the keezer I painted the board the taps were mounted to in blackboard paint. It came off when I cleaned the old chalk off of it, more down to my crap painting I expect.

...or just use the excuse that you can't remember which tap is which to "test" them all ;-)

3 Plaato kegs, a taplist.io subscription and a TV/tablet to view it on.

At the other end of the scale blackboard for the fridge door.

I use a blackboard and coloured markers too. Blackboard from Amazon and markers from kegland

I have tried taplist.io and really love the idea of it, but I don’t think they have the cost right for the homebrew market for the benefit you get… maybe they should do a one-off cost for lifetime use for that price. Not used the paid for features and the 4 keg restriction prevents free account being useful (might be an option for your kegerater though) and don’t really want to spend so much on Plaato (would have as agift if you’re listening Santa). That said, I like that it integrates with Brewfather and it is pretty cool sharing your tap list remotely so give it a go.

I’ve been thinking of doing something similar and bought the bits to make some - a bit like those shown in Buffers picture. In the meantime I have a small blackboard in a picture frame which is almost as good (just not so easy to wipe clean one line).

Your chalk bill must be spectacular.

Love it. Is tap 7 a lucky dip

When I have time fancy making something similar to this so that they slide out, making it easier to alter what’s on tap.

Got my own chalk mine!

I’d just fitted the 7th tap and not updated the chalkboard before taking the picture!

I use whiteboard magnet strips and then place them above the appropriate tap of my Keezer

I use the crapland ones. But the chalkboard markers don't wanna come off. So they're the usual quality you can expect from them. But the idea isn't bad.
