kegerators on sale

Post by jeremytaylor » Wed Dec 07, 2016 4:58 pm

You'll probably want to modify the tower a bit, but it's hard to find a better deal:

Neat, I've never kegged my beer but I've been thinking about getting a keg setup. I take it this one would hold one 20L keg, do you think it would be possible to fit two in there and switch the tap when I want a different beer or would that be not practical?

It looks like this comes with pretty much everything I'd need to start out except a keg and to fill the CO2 tank, does that sound right?

It looks like the 2-tap version is on sale as well:

Both include the CO2 tank, so all you need to supply is the keg(s). At $100 off it's a pretty good deal. That's not too far off what I paid for my home built kegerator once you account for the cost of the fridge, tower and taps, and tank.

Keep and eye on Best Buy if your looking for Kegerators, this is the one I just got for 399.00 and includes a 5 lb tank, all the fittings for Sanke Kegs and its larger than the dandy ones, I can get 3 cornelius kegs in mine for sure and possibly 4. I only got the single tap unit but I am going to convert it to a dual or triple. This one has the plugs to plumb the CO2 external to the unit as well for more kegs.

let me know if you want to see pics.

Yes , it was actually still on sale last week. It finally arrived Tuesday, haven't got it up and running yet but it looks more solid than the Danby ones. Even comes with 4 casters if you want it to be mobile.

The nice thing with that one is I actually think I can get 4 kegs in it.

I have an old True Kegerator that needs anew door gasket. It has a 1 tap tower and I think ball lock connectors. I think it holds 2 ball locks.

Come have a look. Probably needs some tlc (cleaning).

Sandy, what's a True kegerator worth roughly in your estimate? I've got a chance to get a TDD1 in decent shape with twin taps - just cheap chromes - no gas bottle or regulator...it will hold three or four ball locks I'm thinking...

Hey Andy,
One of the reviews on best buy said that you can't get into the tower, so the taps and beer lines aren't replaceable.

Is that the case?

Not true on the Insignia model. As soon as I can post a pic I will Tapatalk doesn't seem to be working for me today.

and the good news is that the 2 tap model is on sale for 499.00 (ends on the 26th)

Now in saying that, I am having issues with foaming, I called Draught Pros and they wanted to sell me a glycol chiller for the tower and also want me to switch to beer gas and put a longer beer line to help with the foaming. I have been reading on line and they recommend at least a 6 foot beer line on the keg and making sure the tower is insulated. I want to change this to a 3 tap system, I can actually fit 3 Corny Kegs comfortably in it.


I think it may also be that I brought the keg home and didn't wait before tapping which resulted in excess foam ( I am still learning as I go lol).

OBK has a tower fan chiller on sale until the end of the month, I don't keg so I have no idea how well this works but might be worth a shot and would be cheaper than a glycol chiller.

Not sure when you bought it, but it's on for $379.99 now. If you're near a Best Buy they'll probably give you the $20 difference back if it was recent enough.

Just ordered one. I plan to get shanks from Everwood and add taps eventually. One for now!

Just ordered it off Best Buy! A great price and great way to ease into draft. Will expand to multiple taps later.

i am almost through my first keg, I think the little fan tower cooler will fix my problem, it seems always the first pour is the foamy one, if you pour a second and third at the same time they are perfect. I think its because the tower isn't getting cold and the line is heating up. I ordered the fan, I will keep you posted as to how well it works.
