So I’m tired of bottling homebrew, so decided to start kegging therefore I need to get a kegerator. Any suggestions on a quality dual tap one that’s not crazy expensive ( under a grand) ? |
A lot of homebrewers have success building a keezer or using a fridge. I recommend looking around HomeBrewTalk or Google... there are some good instructions and you’ll have something much cooler and personal than a kegerator! Just a thought! |

Originally posted by Beerman6686 If you are going to purchase a new fridge, make cutouts of the bottom of your kegs on pieces of paper. Then you can bring those to the store and make sure they will fit inside the configuration. Craigslist usually has plenty of small kegerator options, but I think Homedepot and those places often carry at least one option (around $400 to $600). Otherwise, if you can squeeze in a small chest freezer that’s definitely the way to go. You can build a collar and run taps and gas lines through. Running the gas line through a collar allows you to have a tighter fit on the kegs, since you can keep the tank outside. |
There is a certain model mini fridge that fits two corny kegs. I can’t help you with the specifics though. A friend bought it for like $150, not sure what the rest of the parts cost. The CO2/N2 doesn’t fit inside, and has to be hidden behind the fridge. But it turned out awesome, there are two tap handles on the front of the door, he covered the front with brewery stickers. |
Originally posted by mdg164 I think Danby is usually the brand of choice, though I can’t recall a specific model. |
In December I bought one off CraigsList. Mine was a single tap but 2 corny kegs fit in it just fine. It was necessary to drill out the top outlet hole but it was made of styro foam and was very easy. |
Originally posted by Beerman6686 You can buy mine! Its a converted fridge that still keeps its freezer. Regulator, co2tank taps and handles. I’ll make you a crazy stupid deal. I’ll even toss in the 3 corny kegs and all the fittings. Just get it out of my basement! |
Its scary that we have the same quote from Cheers on our profile. |

I’d suggest craiglist and one that can hold 3 kegs. That way you probably have 2 taps ready while the 3rd is carbing/conditioning. |
