What up folks…  Finally getting some, or I guess I should say TAKING some time to write a blog post.. Sooo much going on in our world these days!  Not just work but play as well…  Other than the onslaught of pollen we’ve had, it has been absolutely GORGEOUS weather here in the NC foothills for a couple of weeks now!

I’ll probably do a video on …

In this post, I have a video that shows the actual refrigerator I’ll be converting.  As you will hear me say in the video, there’s many different options when it comes to building your own kegerator.  Mini fridges and chest freezers are two popular choices, but I …
