Overview
This single-faucet homebrew kegerator pairs a black cabinet with a stainless steel, field-reversible door and matching guard rail. Like other Kegco ball-lock models it taps Cornelius-style homebrew kegs, not commercial D-system kegs, and ships complete with CO2 tank and regulator.
The stainless door is the main difference from Kegco's all-black HBK163B-1: same 5.8 cu ft cabinet, same ball-lock tapping kit, same temperature range, just a different finish for a bar or kitchen where stainless fits the rest of the equipment. Because the coupler set is ball-lock only, it is built for kegging your own beer rather than tapping a store-bought domestic keg.
- Field-reversible stainless steel door
- 32-75 F temperature range
- CSA certified to NSF/ANSI 7
- 35.875 x 24.375 x 24 inch cabinet
Who it's for
Homebrewers and small commercial spaces that want a stainless-fronted unit for Cornelius kegs. It is not the right choice for tapping a standard Coors or Bud Light keg, which uses a D-system coupler this kit does not include.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Stainless steel door with matching guard rail
- Full ball-lock tapping kit and CO2 tank included
- 5.8 cu ft interior fits one full keg or multiple small kegs
- Casters for repositioning
- Ball-lock only, will not tap a commercial D-system keg
- Stainless door does not extend to the full cabinet
Performance notes
Temperature is set with push-button controls and an LED readout across a 32 to 75 F range, wide enough to serve cold beer or run a fermentation in the same cabinet. An air-cooled draft tower and fan-forced cooling keep the line and interior temperature steady.
