I’m looking at the straight kegger bar and I’m wondering– why build a kegbox? Doesn’t it make the refrigerator less efficient? Can’t you get a designated kegerator and run the lines through the top? Wouldn’t THAT be more energy efficient?
I’m confused for the “need” for the kegbox…
Thanks for the advice… I’m sure there’s a simple explanation. However, I’ve little carpentry experience and am not an engineer!

Im no expert, but the size of the cooler you’re making is much large, and can hold many more kegs, bottled beer and all sorts of stuff. it eliminates the need for 2 fridges.
dkort – I just finished building my bar and went the route you wanted to take… rather then spend $400 on materials to build a kegbox (and hope that everthing was EXACTLY correct and sealed… I bought a kenmore kegerator from Sears for $550… it comes with a 5lb. co2 tank and all… easy to hook up, little worries, and works great. You could probably run lines through the bar, but i just cut out a slot in the countertop wide enough for the keg tower to fit. I will post pics soon.
