Subject: Kegerator Drip trays ?

I just bought a converted refrigerator, kegerator that holds 2 corny kegs.
Looks just like this:

Do any of you know where I could pick up a drip tray that would work for
this?
Budget conscious here folks.......
Thanks

You might want to try American Coffee Urn Mfg.
http://www.acumetalfab.com/products.htm
Their website has the info you might want.
They have towers, drip trays and more. It is my understanding that they are
very reasonably priced. You might want to call them or email them to get
pricing info.
Several people on other brewing forums have ordered from them and it seems
to be a very nice product.
Hope this helps.

Well, I bought a new Sanyo 4912M and made this same type of kegerator.
I removed the front door shelving and replaced it with plexiglass. The door
shelves has two small rectangular trays for stuff. I used clear packing tape
on the bottom inside of the tray, and laid folded paper towels in the tray.
The tray covers the area under both taps perfectly, and the paper towels catch
the drips and dry them out. I pull out the dirty paper towel from time to
time and there's a cleaner one beneath. Now that's thrifty, eh?
The clear plastic trays on the upper part of the door is what I used.

I have a friend who used some roof gutter capped off at the ends. He
mounted strong magnets onto the back to make it stick to his converted
chest freezer. Obviously, you'll need to have a fridge door that's
ferrous -- or you could use jb-weld to epoxy a metal plate onto the
door, and use that to give the magnets something to hold on to.

I don't know what your budget is, but morebeer carries several different
types.
http://morebeer.com/browse.html?category_id=1201
This is probably the cheapest one ($29.95) that would fit with what you need:
http://morebeer.com/product.html?product_id=16339
You might find something similar at other online homebrew stores, but I'm
not sure if you could get one for significantly less. I still don't have
any drip trays for my bar because all the ones I see that would fit in
with the tower I have seem to be really expensive.
They don't seem too complicated of a design. If you're a good DIYer it
would probably be possible to make one.
kegman.net has a bunch as well, but almost all of theirs are *really*
expensive, at least relative to the morebeer ones. I'm still wondering who
would buy a $500+ drip tray, yikes. ;)
John.

You don't need a drip tray if you have a Beer Dog. Just put a small
sheet of plastic on floor below taps to catch the drips, then Beer Dog
takes care of the rest.

But then you need newspapers to catch the drops from the Beer dog..
and the cycle continues.

Personally I just refer to my doggie drip tray as "the backyard", but you
do have a good point. I guess the dog is really just a holding vessel to
transport the tap drips for you. ;)

I bought a drip tray from Williams Brewing last week. 19" long,
stainless steel for $19.90. It is the same quality as the one from
morebeer, just longer and cheaper. I am extremely happy with my
purchase.
http://www.williamsbrewing.com/19_STAINLESS_DRIP_TRAY_P912C59.cfm
I have the same kegerator setup as you. The tray is a little long, but
it spans the top of the fridge nicely. The extra length could be of
good use when you are pouring several brews at once for you and your
friends.
I bought a pack of clear vinyl pads (rubber feet) from Ace Hardware and
stuck them on the bottom at the four corners to keep the tray in place
and from rocking/spinning.
It is a nice finishing touch to my kegerator.
enjoy,
brian

Nice find, that's probably the best price I've seen on one.
