If you are going to keg beer, you got to have someplace to keep it and a Draft Box is the answer. Me being the cheap person that I am, I could not justify paying for a commercial version for personal use. After taking a trip to the local Disabled American Veterans store, I found an apartment sized non-frost-free refrigerator that would fit the bill. If I remember correctly, they were asking $75 for it and after some minor negotiation, settled on $50 for the refrigerator and a 23 ft. chest type freezer if I bought both of them. How the heck could I pass that kind of a deal up? Now, if you don't mind being patient, you can brows the newspapers and talk to friends and quite often find one for just a few bucks or even free to take away, but I figured that was a pretty good deal. Now I not only had a place to serve my beer, but also a new place to put my frozen hops and food, which would free up a chest freezer that I already had for a lagering box. Life is good!

Since most refrigeration lines come from the back of the box it is normally pretty safe to make a small hole in the side to run a CO2 line in. To be sure, it is a good idea to look at the compressor area and see where the lines enter the refrigerator. Since they normally take the shortest route when running the lines, if they don't go to the side you should be safe. After running a 1/4" high pressure hose in through the side, I installed a "T" fitting to split it to be used to supply 2 kegs. A couple of holes were drilled in the door for the faucet shanks, lines attaches to keg couplers and it was ready to pour the first glass. My brother-in-law was working for a company that made dispensing equipment and was kind enough to make a stainless steel drip tray for me and the project was pretty much done. I keep kegs in the bottom, hops in the freezer and yeast and bottled beer in the door trays. Oh, and by the way, the ugly green paint in the bar room is gone, thank God!
