Kegerator/Keezer build

[araugh]

New member, about to build my first smoker, but given how beer and barbeque frequently seem to go hand in hand thought I'd show off a kegerator build I did with a friend of mine for his house.  Full details in the link, but short version is that it's a remote dispense system where the freezer is in the garage and the primary tap is in the house.  I designed control hardware for temperature data and he designed an awesome logging system.

some thermal imaging of the system after we had it tuned and optimized

That is quite simply amazing.  I wish I had the skills to put something like that together.  Very, very impressive!

Wow nice work, I guess the days of drilling a hole in the door of the fridge are gone! Oh how I miss my avocado green kegerater!

Thanks guys!

That's just incredible, care to approximate a cost for this besides labor?

Thx

 

[araugh]

Thanks, it was about 950USD for the freezer and all materials

Looks great.  I built one a couple of years ago, but I really like your Arduino setup.  Nice job.

Nice build! The thermal imaging is cool. I built a kegerator a couple years ago that is serving us well. The pictures are under my brewing folder on my profile.

Nice work.

Love your toys. A lot of work for 2 taps. If you start homebrewing you'll want more taps.

Looks great.

Mine is behind the wall so it is basic, but I have always been impressed with how people turn them into works of art.
