Temporary kegarator

So I had to return my kegarator when I moved to my friend who got me into the hobby. I wipped up this little one this weekend to get something on tap while I figure out how to build the best keezer for my needs. I figure I will sell it off once I am done needing it.

Ripping off the stupid pop holders and stuff on the door was a bit of PITA, but once that was off the rest was easy. The coolant does not go through the top of the fridge, making drilling simple. I had to spray foam back some of the insulation on the door. If this was something I was planning on keeping I would have spent more time on the insulation. Anyways, I tapped a keg of the Rum barrel winter warmer from PEI we made last winter. It's damn tasty now, but it needs a bit higher carb level.

P.S. The girlfriend took the top pic, I should have taken another of just the taps but I couldn't be bothered.

Looking good, buddy! Glad you've now got beer on tap, and the barrel is tasting yummy. I've sorta left that one in the "cellar" as I work my way through the RIS from the first Halifax Barrel project. Don't need to have 4 different BA beers on tap, I think.

In a perfect world you would, but four taps is a lot of real estate. :)

Thanks Dean! Are you up to keg sized batches yet or are you still working "under the sink"?
