Keg fridge conversion kits

Ian Grant · May 06, 2011, 02:53:22 PM

Where would you suggest to get the parts I need to convert a full size fridge to a kegerator? Looking to do 2 taps for now..

Blue ridge is where I think Dave got the parts for his.

I can buy all SS parts to make a kegerator in SJ at barley malt & vine if you can't find anywhere.

are you looking for a complete kit? or do you already have some stuff, like co2 gear, kegs, etc?

I need everything but the co2 and kegs I can get easy. I'm just not sure where to get the rest other than online.

well, for local, Noble grape which is pricey, and blue ridge which is ever more pricey $$$.

Then there's the place already mentioned down in SJ. There's a couple places in moncton as well.

Online for faucets and shanks is Farmhousebrewing...they seem to be the cheapest for perlicks. And they will ship via USPS from what i've heard. There's many other online places, but for price these seem to be the best deal.

I'll double check but I think the parts are 5 for thenut, 7.50 for the barb, and 10-15 per shank depending on length in SJ.

$20 for a 3" shank
$25 for a 5" shank

was just there easter weekend. and i do beleive these are only chrome plated(i could be wrong though)....farmhouse has the SS ones.

You'll also need some lines....NG sells the thicker walled 3/16 ID stuff....most go with this stuff, i didn't bother and just grabbed some clear tubing from hardware store. When its time to change it i'll probably get the thicker stuff later. Gas line i just use the braided clear tubing...PA, HD, kent, etc.

Hi Ian - just received all my parts and am ready to drill some holes in my fridge. I got my hose from Simgo, 100' of clear thick walled 3/16 beer line (0.40 / ft) and some 1/4 co2 line (0.39 / ft) - after shipping / tax total was 0.54 / ft altogether. Since I got 100 feet of each your welcome to some if you want to save the effort of an order...

Got my perlicks ($28.95), shanks (5" @ $18.10) and a triple secondary ($135) from http://www.beveragetime.com - shipping was amazing fast and super cheap.

I ordered some taps and shanks. I'll probably take your up offer on the beer line where you have so much.. I'll get back to you brew when I find out how much I need.

Thanks for all the help guys!!
