How to A BUILD a DIY KEGERATOR from a FRIDGE | Homebrew 

Finally. A straightforward, no-bull-sh*! video that details what to buy and what to do. You guys are awesome. Cheers.

Great vid lads. Everyone needs to own a kegerator. I've built several, and have 2 running, 1 at home and 2nd at my holiday home... I can afford a holiday home because I build my own kegerators and brew my own beers! 99% of coils are not in the rear panel of the fridge. Fridges used to have their heat exchangers external read of the fridge on the black grid mesh. With fridge manufacturers making things cheaper these days, the heat exchanging coils are run thru the rear and side panels of the fridge. This is to make thinner insulation panels and by slightly heating the side panels, stops water condensation on the side of the fridge. Not a good looks, particularly for the metal, finished fridge. If you've never hit a coil going thru the side of the fridge, it's because you've been very lucky. Maybe go buy a lotto ticket?! With most fridges, on a hot day, turn the fridge on and let it cool down. You can then gently and slowly run your hand down the side of the fridge to feel for very slight temperature differences on the side panels. The warmer areas will tell you where a heat exchange pipe is inside the insulated panel. You need to aim for the slightly cooler areas between the warm zones!!! This is where you should consider putting a penetration thru the side panel of the fridge. NEVER drill from the outside of side panel. You should drill from the inside out at the area where the cooler side panel zone is. The plastic inner lining of the fridge is WAY softer than the external metal skin. Gently drill from the inside and just take the plastic liner off so you can push the drill bit into the insulation BY HAND. This way if you do strike a heat exchange pipe, you'll not rip it to shreds with the drill. If you haven't hit a heat exchange pipe, drill all the way thru. If you use a drill bit 1mm larger diameter than the OD of the CO2 line, no need for gap filler either. You can be confident drilling holes thru the front doors of the fridge. They don't have heat exchange pipes.

You can never go wrong drilling through the door. Nicely done

This channel is the most slapnuts, whackadoo, no bullshit beer knowledge base I've seen. I like it, keep it up my dudes.

as you build your keezer...I just wanted to point out....this vid made me a fan....this is the vid that made it all work for me.......be safe braj!!!!!!

this video deserves more views. very informative, straight to the point and hilarious

Fantastic job with this guys. Big fan of the quick informative no BS pace.

I just found this channel and the fact you played a Chrono Trigger song alone made me subscribe

i love how your videos push me to do impulsive things, lov'ya

Thanks man! Info is priceless. Looking forward to building one. 🍻

This video is so awesome I watched it twice. I got my fridge and just about everything I need to make this dream reality! I have to up my CO2 game though. 5 pounder just doesn't cut it.

With all the overwhelming info out there, this video definitely gave me the confidence to just do it! Thanks fellas

Great video, very helpful. Also validating.. I have the chick magnet, blades of steel owner for 30 years and working on the kegerator

Awesomeness!!

Great Vid, good straight forward info, subscribed! I tried this on a Magic Chef 10.1 cu ft, was going good until the side hole, found a cooling line, Fridge died today.

Cracked me up! I dig building these!

Great info, great list, great savings. Keep them coming for the rookies. :D

Step 1: Make sure the family of possum's has moved out of that fridge you found

"some guys get duis and there wife's force them to sell it" lmfao!!!!

Thank you!

Awesome video Braj!! I love the content you put out!!! Question, how long should the beer line be? I have a 10ft hard eva plastic line on the kegerator right now but I'm getting no head from my beer or my wife......joshin about the wife 🤣. Could the length cause this issue?

I've been looking for a fridge for a month now so I can build one of these, perfect timing with this V day Yo.

Lmao drink beer with pops even tho you didn’t even invite him over 😂

I was gonna spend the money and buy one, but this is definitely the route Im gonna go. Good video...thanks. On a slightly unrelated note …. my babe magnet is almost as nice as yours. Have to keep a stick behind the seat to beat them off at times.

Great videos. When you guys making more? About to make the move to all grain and we will be trying some of your recipes. The Mega Man 2 music is appreciated as well.

Very cool! I was thinking of buying one but this seems way cheaper and doesn't look that hard.

You guys rock!!! I'm doing it!!!

Epic video! I like this one a lot!

You said 5/16 instead of 15/16! We've never made mistakes ever at anything so I'm totally good to call you out on that :p

"creep on out shit" HAHAHHAHAHAH!!

I was planning on converting a stainless steel fridge. Any special considerations I should know about? Thanks for posting, very informative!

Dude your charismatic as Fuck. Give us more content

How long would you recommend the beer lines be for something like an American pale ale?

I just made one

Blades of Steel...great game

The song is from Mario RPG isn't it? It's driving me insane trying to remember

I'm guessing from the baking soda, the previous owner probably dabbled in corpse storage. This was a hilariously informative video. I've been looking at doing this for a bit, but always felt a bit intimidated. Going to fucking do it now though.

Now, i might be wrong here, but this tutorial is definetly of the stranger things...

Hey man, I just built my kegerator from your model. Did it for about $350. Have you ever put anything on a nitro line? I homebrew up in Oregon and you seem to have a lot of good advice. Just looking for other ideas. Thanks

BAKING SODA!!

Braj how did you get fired??? Lmao

if I use a store bought keg can i use all the same attachments or would i need a different setup?

Followed this tutorial. Getting all foam on my amber ale tap. I'm at 10-12psi and there appear to be bubbles in the beer line after it sits for a few minutes... My other tap pours great and doesn't get the air bubbles in the line. Has anyone experienced this issue and know how to troubleshoot? Maybe a leaky faucet/tap?

Some dads just like to hang. Great vid btw

Know of any tubing for dispensing that doesn’t smell like ass plastic? It’s making the beer that sits in my lines disgusting and I hate having to pitch the first couple ounces

is that a Metroid on the top of that fridge

how do you use one co2 cylinder for 2 kegs at the same time ?

What size hose clamps do you use?

I lost my job... got fired... (proud member)..... classic!!

BLADES OF STEEL!
