Kegco HBK209S-1 Keg Dispenser

Overview

The Kegco HBK209S-1 is a homebrew kegerator with a stainless steel door that holds up to three 5-gallon Cornelius ball lock kegs, with a complete tapping kit included so you only need to add beer and fill the CO2 tank.

The included kit covers a 5 lb aluminum CO2 tank, dual gauge regulator and stainless draft tower. Kegco notes this is built for homebrew ball lock kegs specifically and will not tap commercial D-system kegs, an important distinction for anyone assuming it works with standard commercial kegs. When not in use for beer, the cabinet converts to general refrigerated storage with two adjustable shelves.

• Holds 3 x 5 gallon Cornelius kegs
• Includes CO2 tank, regulator and draft tower
• Thermostatic control, 35-42F range
• Locking casters and removable drip tray

Who it's for

Fits a home brewer who wants to serve one keg while keeping two more at temperature, rather than someone looking to tap standard commercial kegs.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Thermostatic control holds the interior between 35 and 42 degrees Fahrenheit, with the manufacturer citing a 25 percent more energy efficient design than prior models. A reviewer who placed the unit outdoors reported it kept beer ice cold despite initial concern about ambient temperature.
