Thanks for the great info – you convinced me to give it a try, I am just accumulating teh equipment to try all grain brewing.

I just bought a a Danby model DAR125SLDD which appears to be the latest incarnation of the fridge that you used. I got it from Costco in Burlington Ont for the great price of $139 ! CTC had the identical fridge with a Whirlpool nameplate at $229.

The new one is black with a stainless door cover – looks sharp. Today I Just ordered a two tap beer tower to use.

I’m wondering about the two piece drip tray you bought – Did you use it in the end? Does it just surface mount on top of the plastic cover? any picture by chance?

Thanks again ……… Brian

Thinking of seeing if I can fit this one http://www.ajmadison.com/cgi-bin/ajmadison/SHP2501B.html or this one http://www.ajmadison.com/cgi-bin/ajmadison/FF32L.html. I will have to put the CO2 outside of the fridge, but hopefully they are tall enough to fit 1 or 2 kegs in. Any ideas?

Thanks for the great step by step instructions. Wondering if you might be able to help me out with something.

I am trying to hide a kegerator inside of existing cabinetry. The inside dimensions are 22 deep, 30 wide, and 28 tall. I basically need a shorter but wider mini fridge. I think if I could find a fridge of this dimension, I could use the pin style kegs since they are shorter, but I can’t find anything! Any ideas? It is going in my kitchen and I really don’t want the door of the fridge showing outside the cabinetry.

Thanks!

@piper Thanks, that’s just what I was thinking. I’ll be sure to order the regular ball-lock kegs!

I think you’ll have trouble. The regular ball-lock kegs only barely fit.

Does anyone know if the Danby (DAR440BL) will fit 2 pin-lock style kegs (coke). I ask, because I’m looking at buying a set that has been converted to ball-lock. However, I know the kegs are about 3″ shorter and an about an inch larger in diameter.

Any thoughts if I can fit two of these larger diameter kegs into this fridge?

Piper……….yah, what’s that guy all about? Anywho, got it finished and I’m pretty proud of myself the way I did it. Went through the back wall of the fridge, not encountering any coils or wiring at all. Ran a sump pump drainage hose (Home Depot) from the tower on the bar to the interior of the fridge. Here’s where I got creative. Just as the drainage hose enters the fridge cavity, I sliced it open, just big enough to extract the beer line from the tower. Once I got that out, I duct taped (thank god for duct tape) the hose back up. Then I only had a fan from a computer that wouldn’t fit into a project box from Radio Shack, so I built one 4″ x 4″ square, big enough to take the fan blowing cold air into the box. Then it duct taped the end of the drainage hose to the hole cut into the fan box, and voila. Job completed. I fired up the fridge last night along with the fan and left it running all night. This morning, I could “feel” that the tower was cooler than room temperature, so the rig works! This morning, I modified the door without having to remove the entire door panel. The only thing that was preventing the fridge door from closing entirely was the corny keg. I simply exacto knifed the impeding shelves on the door, removed any insulation, and once again, (thank you lord) I duct taped up the entire area. Now I just have to wait for my batch of beer to finish to try this bad boy out. Too bad there’s no place to upload pictures as the way I did this may be helpful to someone else in the future. Anyways, I’d like to thank you for the very informative posts that have helped me overcome this little project. Cheers! Mark

I was just trying to figure out whether you’re a spammer or a content farmer or pushing malware or something. I’m still not sure…
