Absolutely superb video showing the whole process of getting set up. Helped me a load when getting my Kegerator set up and I'm very grateful. Thank you so much, great work :-)
Does the line going through the drain hole not affect the fridge in any way, Thank you. Great tutorial and just what I was looking for. Keep up the great work.
Why do you use the line reducer? I assume the 3/8 would provide a pour that’s too aggressive? Also what’s the difference between this & a keezer? Just the space & fact a keezer is a freezer?
Keezer is better if you have the space. You can fit a nice wooden top onto it and make it more like a bar. It also lets you change kegs without fuss. Also a lot more insulated usually.
@@tuffty01 As every build can be unique with various parts needed its hard to list as a single product. But we do have a blog post where you can find links to the individual items and then add to your basket
Any fridge can be used, but some will have their restrictions, at home I've got a Smeg that I used, just check your internal dimensions as this will related to how which kegs and how many you can use
No, we wanted to showcase just how simple it is to get going with a kegerator. We do have plans for future how to videos on the topic of really nice bespoke dispense solutions though 👍🏻
You maybe missing the point, it’s not always about money. Kegerators are available off the shelf. But pouring a beer that you have crafted from a kegerator that you made to your own spec is different.
Cheaper if you have a large fridge sitting about. I wanted a 4 tap kegerator and they're like £760. I got a barely used hisense RR330D4OC2UK for £250 and modded that into a 4 tap kegerator. It has enough space for for tall AEG kegs. I needed the long 160mm tap shanks though. Fitted a wooden shelf in it with a hole drilled for the CO2 lines which I run from a CO2 distributor screwed to the floor of the fridge. Then I drilled a hole out the back to run the CO2 line into the unit. I run it from an Inkbird controller (another hole needed to bring the temp probe into the fridge). Really chuffed with the result, the main issue with this fridge is the curved front door, makes fitting a shelf for resting glasses on a little trickier.
Hey! We run the CO2 line through the drainage hole at the back of the fridge, you can do this easily using 3/16th line stepped down from 3/8th's and then back up again
I wasn’t expecting this to be so easy. Thanks for this video it’s absolutely brilliant 🍻
No problem 👍
By far the best kegerator build on UA-cam. 👍

Looks awesome
Love the video. Easy to follow.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice build :-) thanks for sharing :-)
5:06 I often find myself needing to use my 3rd hand, too.
Always good to have a spare 👋🏻
If i wanted to run a line up from the shank to a counter top tap is there a line adapter or extender that i need?
Does the line going through the drain hole not affect the fridge in any way, Thank you. Great tutorial and just what I was looking for. Keep up the great work.
I've not had any issues with it Stephen, it doesn't totally fill the hole when using 3/16

Correct about the keezer.
And also about the line reducing to reduce flow.
On my other build I didn’t use this though, check it out

What size fridge would I need to be able to use EcoKegs?
How many kegs does this fridge hold? Whats the model?
What was the reducer thing on you put on the back of the shank, I have the jg fitting but it has 3/8 fitting

Any fridge recommendations?

this is the fastest safest way to do it.. but no fancy tower spout ? :(

Where’s the best place to get kegs of lager that fit in? I’ve tried to find suppliers but standard 50litre and 30litre kegs don’t fit in.
Cornelius kegs I think
how much cheaper is it to do this than actually buying a kegerator? If cheaper at all

@@themaltmiller8438 Cool, I’ll buy from somewhere else. 😃

Could i buy one of you
www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/3-tap-kegerator/ back in stock next week
Can I just buy one off you that you’ve made 😫
Don't u watch out 4 the Gas lines???😮
Not through the door on these kind of fridges. If you were going through the side or the top then yes you would need to watch out for them
Should've showed us how you ran the CO2 line also
