Outside of Kegerator with Five Faucets
Close-up of Five Ventmatic Faucets and Homemade $3 Tap Handles
09-September-2007 - After bottling over 6600 bottles of beer over the last 6 years, I decided to take the plunge and start kegging my homebrews. I had no room to store a full size fridge but I didn't want a small kegerator so I sold my full size upright freezer which I kept in the furnace room adjacent to the bar. I put the freezer on Craigslist and sold it ten minutes later for $120. Then I picked up a late model Kenmore fridge with the freezer on the top which I found on Craigslist for $80. My wife was happy because she still had freezer space for those things that you don't want to keep in the kitchen fridge. I went straight out of the gate with Ventmatic faucets, stainless steel shanks and a nice stainless steel drip tray. My gas manifold has built in check valves for each of the shut off valves so there should be no backflow of CO2 from one keg to the next. Here are the pictures:
