Tapcooler SC - The kegerator for the living room

[Tapcooler]

Hi Brewers,

Check out our kegerator on Kickstarter:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tapcooler/tapcooler-sc-the-kegerator-for-the-living-room

It's made of wood (white waxed oak or oiled walnut), the beer taps are installed in a black glass plate hidden under a hinged top plate, and it includes a drip tray with glass rinser. Scandinavian design, made in Europe, and shipping to the US and Canada is included.

Feel free to ask questions!

Thanks,
Tor

Looks like a great idea. What type of keg tap is this set up for?. Also the price is a little out of reach for most people.

I'm not ashamed of my kegerator!
I do like the rinser. Shame it uses a soda stream bottle for gas though.

The setup is for 5 gallon ball lock kegs.
Our main focus has been making the product great, and unfortunately that affects the price as well.

You shouldn't be ashamed!

The rinser setup is actually quite simple, and you could probably add one to your kegerator. The rinser drip trays in our prototypes are from here: http://www.beveragetime.com/product-categories/beer-drip-trays-glass-rinsers/ You will also need a small diaphragm pump with pressure switch (boat or RV shop), some fittings and containers for water and drain.

We are using the sodastream because it's compact and available everywhere for little money. One bottle dispenses 4-5 kegs of carbonated beer, so for this use, it's sufficiently durable. I wouldn't use sodastream to carbonate or transfer beer though, but that's a different story.
