After just wrestling keg #2 into my smaller, just-finished kegerator, I am now envying the cleverness of this setup... looks like you have room for at least four or five kegs in there, man! Would be very useful for carbing and conditioning them at the right temp, while you wait to enjoy them...

I love it! I'm already getting tired of only having space for 2 kegs. I would like to do a keezer build one of these days and be able to fit 5 kegs in there for conditioning or whatever.

When that compressor winds down that bitch kicks like a diesel! Nah, it's not that loud but it ain't a Frigidaire either. :)

Rob... about how much would this cost to make?

That's pretty cheap. I have 110 power... guess I'd need a transformer too. Where'd you buy the fridge... near the Junggong Keg guy?

Yep. I got it from a shop down the alley from Joongang Keg.



Garrett, havent completely given up on food yet so still rockin the food fridge as well. We don't have a kimchi fridge, so the Kegerator fits perfectly into that space. Beer is WAY more important than kimchi!!!

These look amazing! Were the taps ordered from abroad? I assume so with the dollar price given. Anyways, one of these would look great in any home or office. Well done, gentlemen!

Mangy,
I've had about every type of kegerator a guy could have (minus root cellar kegerator but that's next). My favorite is definitely the milk fridge kegerator. You do give up extra freezer capacity BUT my god is there a ton of floor space. I didn't want to molest the top of the fridge as it doubles as a counter top in our tiny kitchen. A fella just swings open the door and takes a draw off the cobra (picnic) tap if he wants a beer. It saves a bunch on shank related hardware and the fridge stay in tact. In total, I'm able to fit my six pin-lock kegs in there. You can see my tall Cass C02 tank (thanks Fred) to the right there. I was able to snake the c02 line through the gromet that the fridge hardware goes through.



If you go the milk fridge way, make sure you get one with a adjustable thermostat. Mine is a small dial in the upper left hand part of the photo. She keeps at about 8c this way. Without it, you'll be serving beer popsicles like Aaron is at 3c.

Where in Seoul can we find markets that sell these kinds of fridges?

There is a used appliance store in the main alley between Magpie and Craftworks, that's where I got mine, they deliver too.  I also found them near Jungno, by the old Jungno keg guy.

Bryan....whats the going rate for the fridges?

Garrett dimensions would great. Whats the Korean word for this style fridge?

Was yours bought locally?

Mine was only 130,000won, plus shipping.  Unfortunately mine has recently died.  I think it has sprung a leak and lost all the refrigerant, but hopefully that can easily be fixed.  Head to the Joonang Market in Seoul if you live in the general area....Lots of fridges and deals to be had.

My rig has internal dimensions of 43 inches wide by 30 inches tall. My pinlock kegs w/ attached disconnect are a bit over 24 inches in height. Would easily accommodate the taller, slimmer ball lock kegs. I am BARELY able to fit 6 kegs in there and have 50% function of the sliding doors. It has to be exactly right. Sometimes I can't figure out the exact placement of the kegs and it becomes to feel like Tetris.

It's a perfect square at 47 inches by 47 inches.  I noticed that everyone's seems to be a bit different.  The best thing to do if head down to the district with all the fridges and bring a keg to see first-hand.  (you don't have them yet BUT don't buy one without knowing whether or not a keg will fit). 

It's 20.5 inches deep.
