Hi all, quick question for my friend I'm hoping someone can help us.

I sold him my keezer. It's the converted chest freezer with a wooden collar and 4 holes drilled into the collar. It has 4 Perlick faucets and some beer line/wing nut combos sitting inside the keezer.

He doesn't homebrew, he wants to somehow convert this to being able to use a commercial keg/half barrel of domestic lager, and 1/6 barrels of good craft beer. Is there a way to do this while still using the nice faucets? I hope so, because I sold this to him with these intentions! Also, can a co2 system be implemented, so he can literally just pull beer whenever he wants, just like a homebrew keezer? No pumping or anything like when you get a keg.

Thanks all.

Very simple. I have mixed sanke kegs and homebrew kegs in my kegerator on occasion. All you need to do is get a Sanke tap and replace the gas and beer tailpieces with specialty tail pieces that have quarter inch flare fittings on them. The flare fittings should allow him to use all existing lines if they are fitted with quarter-inch nuts, so it's a really easy and cheap conversion.

My LHBS had them in stock.

Here's what they look like installed.

Yeah it's not too pricy. I run both kegs on my system as well. Brand new sanke couplers can be had for under 50$ on ebay
