bar tap

[jlyjr]

I have just finished my basement and my bar is almost complete. I want to put in a tap system in my bar. From what I have read, the typical Kegerator won't work because I want to enclose the cooling unit in the bar with an access door in the front.(Not enought air flow to cool typical unit) The under counter units are Way expensive for me!! I have found the GE space saver 6.0 cu ft fridge that, according to GE's specs can be enclosed with 0" of clearance for $288 at Lowes. Does anyone have any experience with these? Unless I am missing something, this looks like the perfect unit to convert to a cheaper under the counter kegerater. Thanks.

You may not be able to put a keg and/or the CO2 tank inside. These fridges are not designed to be converted to kegerators. You'll need to see the fridge and measure the interior space and account for the compressor and door shelves and any other obstructions. And I not sure you can even drill through the top in these. You may hit a refridgerant line.
