My weekend project of 1-13-02. I hacked the icemaker of my old fridge and installed faucets for my brew. I got all the parts from Beer, Beer and More Beer, my local homebrew shop. I could probably get some of the hoses and such cheaper at the local hardware store, but I'm lazy. ;-) It was actually a fairly simple operation. After disassembling and removing the icemaker components, I used a 1 inch hole saw to drill through the freezer door, and from there it's just a simple connect the dots operation. Each of the pictured kegs holds 5 gallons of beer, so I've got 10 gallons capacity at any given time. Meanwhile, I use the refrigerator side for brewing lagers, which need to ferment at about 50 degrees F for about 3 weeks. I've found that by regulating the 'fridge side at 52 degrees, I get about 40 degrees on the freezer side, which is a reasonable serving temperature. I'm using a temprature regulator from the good folks at Beer Beer and More Beer, which has a sensor that controls a little black box, which in turn controls power to the fridge. The end result is actually pretty functional, I can brew on one side and serve on the other. And having 2 kegs of homebrew on tap is a beautiful thing. Currently the one on the left is a Pilsner, the right is a Stout. I'm boiling a batch of Bock even as I type, so by the time I empty a keg I should have something to fill it up with again. Life is good. ;-)

Update 10-14-03: Following is a parts list for the DIY types out there:
D1205 qty 2
D1240 qty 2
KEG700 qty 2
10ish feet of beer line, several hose clamps
FE600 qty 1

Also, since the last writing, I've put a shelf in on the freezer side, and now brew lagers on the upper shelf, with the kegs serving below. With the freezer side regulated to the mid-50s, the 'frige side stays in the low 60s. Thus, I lager and serve on the left, ferment ales and store supplies and equipment on the right.
