Morning fellas...I need some advice on buying a kegerator. My bday is Friday and my wife is buying me a complete kegging set up! Boo-yah! Yeah, she's a keeper! I want one that can hold two corny kegs but don't know what capacities are the standard kegerator. Anyone have any recommendations in purchasing one? Want are the minimum dimensions that I need that can hold two cornies?Thanks all!

Ball Lock Kegs:25" High x 8 1/2" DiameterPin Lock Kegs:I have two different size kegs.22-23" High x 9" DiameterI have a hard time finding pin lock kegs around here, so my set up is exclusively ball lock kegs. If you are looking at one of the "Beermeister" kegerators, those will hold 4 Ball lock kegs, but its a tight fit. Then you will need a CO2 manifold and an upgraded tower.I like the chest freezer route, as you can get a bit more freezer for the money and use some of the area for cold conditioning, etc. Then you are looking at adding some type of temperature control and your CO2 system.

Do you have any restrictions on how big it can be, how it looks, etc?

Not really, standard size that is able to hold to cornies. I found this one....thoughts?https://www.beverage...F05EABB-2.shtmlFrom what you can see, does this come with everything I will need? It talks about adding couplers and all this other stuff...have no clue what those are!

Ah - I didn't know you were actually just straight up buying a kegerator...

Chad,From looking at this kegerator the only think I see you need to add is the keg couplers. Those are the connectors to the keg and one is for the gas in and beverage out on the keg so 2 couplers per keg. In order to choose that if you are just going to start by drinking your homebrew in kegs then you need to decide between ball lock connectors or pin lock you can't have both in one keg its one style or the other. Other than that I it includes all the rest you need unless you want a lock? The cleaning kit I would not bother with for the $$$. Looks like a cool set up. I bought my kegerator conversion equipment from bevfactory and was very pleased as well.

That Haier in fact will hold 3 x 5 gallon kegs at a push, I am sure that is the same one I have, it has a 5lb CO2 cylinder inside , I modded the tower to add a third tap and added an extra CO2 attachment. Perfect for inside my bar, lastly I used the MFL Ball Lock connectors and also bought the converters, so that I can do a std sanke keg occasionally for parties.It certainly meets your needs of two taps right now
