My homebrew tap handles

[BeerAdvocate]

I made these tap handles for my homebrew kegerator.
I try to always have an IPA/hoppy beer and a Stout/ dark beer on tap at all times. So I took some used yeast vials and put Whole leaf hops in one and Black Patent Malt in the other. I think they turned out pretty good.

Nice, they turned out great!

 

[mav_sd]

Very cool. I like this idea a lot.

 

[PLUSH]

they do look nice, won't get confused that way.:sadpace:

 

[Swampfox21]

[SkinsFanLarry]

Here is also a pic of my kegerator that I built. It was an easy build and looks nice enough that the wife even lets me keep it in the kitchen.

I have yet to figure out a use for my empty vials. I've been keeping them as they seem useful for something I just haven't figured it out quite yet.

Have you seen the Chalkboard tap handles? I think they're pretty sweet.

Very very cool idea...I might have to hijack that one.

I did not know saving the vials could get me anything from them. Thanks for the info. I've been on their site a thousand times since I started brewing and never saw a vial redemption thing.

I forget who won the Kegerator at our shop. I was ineligible though being an employee and all. That's fine though because I plan on in the future making one with a cabinet freezer and inline temp controller.
