I just finished another mod to my kegerator, or beer fridge. Since I have two cylinders to push my beers with, and a small fridge that only fit one, I had a problem running my stout faucet along with the regular CO2.

My problem is solved by drilling two holes in the side of the fridge to pass the gas lines through. Before committing myself to the whole hole (ha) I used my hole saw to cut just through the plastic inside, then a screwdriver to crunch up the insulation between the inside and steel outside. The last thing I want to do is somehow hit a line that would result in one big paperweight.

Yes, I can plainly see the cooling plate in the fridge, in fact I’ve frozen beer lines on that cooling plate before, put the risk is still there.

After I made sure there was nothing to hit with the saw I punched it through. Looking at the ragged holes that I was going to be putting the hose through I got out my Dremmel. No plug in near.

Crap.

So while I was looking around trying to think of a way to dull the edges around the holes I spot my furnace, and the putty we put around some of the holes in the venting. *ding*

I still had some of that putty! Around the hoses it went, now I still have a sealed fridge, a barrier between the hose and the jagged lip of the holes and we’re good to go!

Next up is kegging the two beers that are patiently waiting to be drank.

After MONTHS of no beer on tap, I am close. Very close!

Cheers!
