Default Finally it is time!

I told myself that I would invest all my fantasy sports winnings this year (expected 0) in my keggorator project.... well... it looks like im running away with my baseball title. and the 600$ prize will be a nice start!

4 Faucet Refrigerator Conversion Kit, 4 kegs

is this everything i need? other than beer of course. and I already have 5 extra kegs! oh yeah, I have a fridge... and once i get some more money, Ill gonna by a nice freezer and hook it up! but for now....

Since you have the extra cash, I would trade off the standard faucets for Perlicks (Forward Sealing, Non-Sticking).

You also might want to consider a temperature controller for the fridge.

Definitely get perlicks instead. I've heard nothing but annoyance about the standard faucets.

Not much else to say. You need everything in that kit, plus a fridge and temperature controller. Swapping out the standard faucets for perlicks would be a huge plus.

Well, since you apparently haven't ordered anything yet, let me add another +1 for the Perlicks. You'll appreciate those faucets long after you're forgotten the few dollars extra you paid for them.

Now go forth and buy.

Hey Clap here's the link for the Perlicks
- Superior Products

best price I've found. For 600 bucks you should be able to get everything, including freezer. Go to Bobby M's homepage and see his keggerator breakdown

If you are going to get Perlicks(4 @ 125.00) then don't get that kegconnection kit. In our classified there's a guy selling regulator, you already have some kegs, just get the faucets and co2 tank(and hoses). Way cheaper than 450.00. You can always pick up kegs as you go. Maybe we can get another pallet of kegs, I could use 3 more. Charlie
