Hello fellow HBTers! 2 years ago I moved into a college house with a few older buddies who had rigged up an old fridge with a tap on the front. The one time I bought a keg to drink off of a guy who lived in the house didn't go to classes for 2 days and my beer was all gone. Its time to rescue this gear from bud light AND that house. ( I payed my older buddies like 80 dollars or something for the parts when they moved out because they knew I could use it for homebrew)

I know NOTHING about using a keggorator, the one time I used it I locked the bud keg in and turned the gas on, worked great!

So currently I have 1. The part that locks on huge kegs 2. A huge co2 tank, from my friends paintball gun? 3. The "regulator?"thingy with the 2 guages on co2 tank 4. The tap, which is bolted on the front of the fridge.... plus all the clear hoses.

What parts do I need to get the system to lock on to a corny keg?

Please let me know if this isn't enough information for you to help me out!

(I plan on getting all new hoses or giving them a few day long soak in starsan, they are years old, but have nothing visably growing in them)

New hoses, they're cheap.

Pin or ball lock connectors.

A corny keg.

Should be it.

Get new hoses, definitely. You'll want about 12' of 3/16ths for the beer line.

Cornies and disconnects. Make certain you get either all ball lock or all pin lock.

If the fridge was big enough for a 1/2 keg, you might be able to put two cornies in it.

Full sized fridge fit full sized kegs! XD. I'm glad I invested in it now, looks like this will be easier than I thought!

'Full sized kegs' are actually called half barrel kegs. Regardless, toil be able to fit at least 2 cornys, most likely more.

Oooh, what are they teaching in school these days! Is it possible to hook more than one keg up to the same co2 supply?

Why would you want to upgrade from Bud Light?

Yes you can. Cheapest way is to get attach a splitter to the regulator. So where the gas line enters the regulator, you can remove that piece, put on a splitter, then the check valve for each. And run two hoses.

You have other options to run the gas at different pressures, but this gives you the option for now, to run 2 cornie kegs on the gas.

I would suggest though that you rig the setup so you can switch back and forth between cornie and sanke kegs.

Yes, you can have multiple kegs from the same co2 supply. I have 4

You need to get s co2 distributor or if you want to cheap out a gas "T",

You can also do both sanke (the commercial kegs) and cornys at the sane time. Get the qd's with flare and nut (not barbed), and you can adapt the sanke tap to hook up to gas and bev lines you also use with your qd's.

I'm not home at the moment or I would send a picture of what the parts look like...maybe someone else with this set up could post.

In that you are already set up to serve sanke kegs, you can also keg homebrew in sanke kegs, 1/6 and 1/4 kegs work well!
