The venue was chosen specifically because they allowed me to bring in my own outside catering and serve my own alcohol. Virtually every other one I found required you to use their (expensive) in-house catering, which I really wanted to avoid.

My understanding is that there will either be one server/bartender who will stand there and "operate" the faucets and pour wine, or it will be people serving themselves. Not sure yet. For our crowd, I don't think we'd have any trouble with people being rough/rowdy with the equipment, but it may...

Regardless of the cooling method, the wife wants to go with a "faucets mounted against a vertical wall/panel" look, I learned today. So that will save some money on buying a three-faucet tower. I've been adding up the costs, and I think I'm going to go with the dual-keg keezer. I can pick...

The reception IS being catered, but by restaurants who do not usually do catering - I would trust myself sooner than them to ensure that the draft setup is proper. I could potentially see myself keeping/using a multi-keg draft setup. I already have the one kegerator, so maybe I could build a...

Haha, it's worth a shot!

Yeah, that's not bad at all. Would the idea just be to submerge that whole thing in a cooler filled with ice and water? Is there a standard of how much of a temperature differential I can expect?

Is there no issue with storing the beer at room temp, and cooling it as you serve it? I would have guessed it'd be over-carbonated or something along those lines - but if it comes out no different than a cold keg, then a jockey box sounds great. Presumably I could just run some long coils of...

I suppose that is a possibility. I could do tubs and ice, and run the beer lines to a tower in a table or something - that way it'd still look professional on the "customer-facing" side.

Hi everyone! I have a kegerator at my house (one of the ~$500 self-contained units) that I run a few 1/6 or 1/2 barrels through each year, and I'm relatively happy with it. It doesn't have great temperature control, but other than that it gets the job done. I am getting married this year...

Thanks guys! That seems to have done the trick.

Hey everyone. I bought a kegerator around a year ago, and enjoyed a keg of woodchuck. Yesterday, I bought the guinness faucet and keg coupler with a keg of guinness, and the guy at the shop told me it would be fine to use with co2 until I get 75/25 gas. I went home and hooked everything up...

The handle is securely fastened to the threads on the faucet. It's the actual faucet works wobbling. It wobbles without a handle installed. Video: http://youtu.be/o5hdI_xV9Mw

Hey guys, I just recently got my first kegerator (used), and there is a little bit of left-to-right wiggle room on my faucet handle. I took the faucet apart for cleaning and everything seemed to be okay, but now that I have a big full-size commercial tap handle on it, the wobble is exaggerated...

I suppose you're right about the beer line. I can always cut some off. I have run the kegerator for a few days and played with the thermostat and now it reads a solid 35 degrees on a thermometer I put inside. On the coldest setting, it goes to 30 degrees, and on medium it goes to 40. So I'm...

Current plans do not include serving homebrew on tap - I'll be doing a keg of Woodchuck Hard Cider and looking into converting to Guinness, and maybe someday serve homebrew, but right now it's not in my scope (I've made a few batches but have just bottled it). JuanMoore, when I said 6 feet (7...
