Beer fridge project

Before we moved, we had a fully fledged beer fridge with 3 taps and the capacity to hold 5 kegs. It was an old fridge, so we decided to get rid of it(keeping the old parts), and when we move into the new place, use our existing 'house fridge' as the beer fridge. As it was newer it should be more economical. Then we would buy a new fridge for the new house.

So, as we have the new fridge, I began work on the old one, using the parts I kept.

Did not get a lot done today but it is a start! The taps are in! All that is really left, is to pipe the CO2 line through the side of the fridge and install the drip tray.

Here is the result of today's work.

Only 2 taps now, but the fridge will hold 3 kegs inside, so we have one 'cold spare'

Desperately awaiting a drip tray.

The internals.
So that is all for now. I don't actually have a half inch drill bit for the gas line grommet, so I will source one over the week and get the remaining bits for the drip tray. Hopefully this time next week it will be complete. The beer that is fermenting on the table will be about 2 weeks before it needs a keg and CO2, so I need to finish by then!
