My New Toy

A few months back I asked some here if anyone had any experience with kegerator conversions and decided when I could I'd but a kit to convert my old dorm fridge. After about 1 hour of Flipper-esque work with power tools and some cutting the process is done. The fridge can hold up to a 1/2 barrel keg, but for my purposes I'll probably never get anything that big.

So with that all said, any ideas for the first keg to tap?

Doesn't matter, put a keg in, chill it, drink it. While that is being consumed make a batch of home brew so it is ready when the first keg blows.

btw congrats on the kegerator!

Can you get kegs of Nosferatu? That'd be my choice.

Honestly, the keg selection is this area is pretty slim. It's mostly the college flair and the "good" beers are only available in 1/2 barrel sizes.

I settled for a 1/4 barrel of Labatt Blue. I set the CO2 to 12 PSI and the thermometer says 35 degrees. Perfect end of the work day tonight!

I had to do some final modifications (read: sawing) but I wedged it in there. My guess of being able to fit a 1/2 barrel was pretty generous. This thing can only do 1/4 and 1/6. I had to line the CO2 tank through the door which I'm not a fan of, but I'll hopefully be building a nice bar around it so it can be hidden. I'm extremely pleased with how everything turned out and would suggest it for anyone with a spare fridge.

If anyone knows of any distributors in the area that do some more tasty brews please let me know!

Is there a warehouse close? I see they have a Toledo rep.

All you can do is give them a call. I'm pretty sure they'll be good to you.
