Kegerator Forum: Faucets in the Freezer Door

Posted:  04 Nov 2009 04:25
I am thinking it would be cool to make a kegerator out of a small refrigerator. Not a mini-fridge, but a small one with a freezer on top, like you might use in a studio apartment or something.

The problem with this is where to put the faucets. If I put them in the fridge door, the freezer door will hit them every time it gets opened, and if I put them low enough so they don't, they will be much too low.

I would like to put them in the freezer door like they do with the water-in-the-door thing, but I'm not exactly sure how I would keep the beer from freezing in the lines while still allowing the freezer door to open. I think I could make the lines run between the two shells of the door, but I'm not sure about right where the faucet goes, and where it would come out of the door and go down into the fridge. Has anybody done this? Please don't tell me it's impossible, because I won't believe you. I don't mind making a new inner-shell to give myself room for insulation and the hoses if I have to.

I would really like to figure out how to do this, so I guess I'm just looking for anybody who has done it before.
