Default Wanted to Share with the forum faithfuls...

My current setup. The kegerator itself isn't fancy, but I've put some real **** into building around it. Please feel free to let me know what you think of my sports bar in progress, in my home.

LOL...thanks for the compliment. I planned it out pretty good I think. Get the bar first, then kids. My wife and I are expecting our first in January.

Thought I'd give you a shout to tell you how much I appreciate the bar. Hey, I've written you a personal message sir. I'm an Avanti kegerator owner myself, and you may have a few tips for me. I've overcome a lot of the problems through trial and error (lots of error), but would love to hear from you. I've left my email address on my personal message to you.

You won't believe me when I tell you no, but...NO! I found something better at a local Sherwin-Williams...its a two-part compound that you mix together and it creates a very thick almost laquer sealant...mix it one for one and it pours on the top. I left a 1/8 inch raised edge around the bartop, so I just poured it on, and it self-leveled. It was really the easiest part of the bar finishing.

Thanks everyone for the compliments. I've just recently added a 4 person pub table in one corner, so know the bar seats 8 to 10 comfortably, so come on over!

Very cool. Not a lot of space, but you really have everything covered, so what else do you need? What do you typically keep on tap?

This summer, I've been keeping a seasonal honey wheat beer on tap from our local microbrew. I think before the winter, I'm going to switch the system over to a two tap faucet and keep a popular everday beer for everyone and a the local brewery's seasonal Porter for those who take their beer enjoyment seriously...

Outstanding setup! Noticed the Knob Creek on the back bar. Might suggest some George Dickle white lable beside it!Many sympathies to your Cubbies.
