Cheers, it's a Kegerator!
Gill pulls a perfect pint with this hack.
"My husband and I took an old commercial fridge, and refinished it, to become a kegerator. We hit the As-is section of Ikea for the counter top (paid $30), and the rails are actually Enhit curtain rods (not on website), marked down to $4.99. Works perfectly!"
before you shop. By simply starting from here, you'll tell Amazon to throw a few coins in my tip jar, with no change in your shopping experience or total bill.

Very nice! Interested in knowing where you got the pulls as well.
Do the rails serve any purpose except for looks?
I was wondering that too. Attaching some kind of barrier to the rods would keep spilled beer from flowing over the sides.
maybe I'm too demanding, but is a drain for the overflow brewski in the works? or just either (a) careful drawing or (b) a permanent bar mop at the ready?
Rails might serve for keeping glasses in place when having a lot of guests...
do have the plans for the refrigerator conversion as well?
Nice information provide by you.
You are doing very well job! keep it up.
This is great. I Think that IKEA countertop really does a great job for tons of projects.
I would really like to see how the conversion was done. I am trying to do this but have 3 spouts, and can't find any help anywhere!
The Co2 tank, taps and tower were all purchased from www.kegconnection.com (Mine are for Cornelius kegs for homebrew, but they also sells kits for commercial kegs). The rails simply keep the glasses from going over the side... AND for looks:) A plan for a drain or drip tray is in the works eventually. (Nothing in the Ikea as-is section I could convert... I'm cheap:) Right now we use a bar mat/cloth to catch drips, and draw carefully. You can find plans everywhere online for converting freezers, fridges and mini bar fridges. Mine was easy because it had a second door on the top I simply removed, and didn't have to drill through any fridge bits.

Play nice. Be appreciative of another's efforts. Don't say anything that you won't say in front of your mom or daughter.
