vevor two tap kegerator on ali express for $267 with shipping

[fluketamer]

vevor and ali express. that alone should turn away most but i couldnt pass up this deal.

hope i dont get burned. (literally)


https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256...2077b6&afSmartRedirect=y&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa

normally 575 its 50 percent off and then 45 in coupons.
it came to 267$
used ones in my area are 200 so i couldnt resist.

ive bought vevor and ive bought on ali. fingers crossed.

 

[Broken Crow]

Good deal! Are you gonna give it the SS taps/shanks and EVABarrier makeover when it arrives?
For what it's worth: I looked that model up and got a scamazon link in which the reviewers liked it and one posted pics of it holding 4 kegs,.... just sayin; I once got a $30CAD SS 3-tap tower from kegland's aliexpress site.

 

[fluketamer]

i ordered this on thursday . it said it would arrive 22-29. im not sure why but i figured i had a week to either a) tell the wife. or b) somehow get it in the house and swap it for the dying 3.1 cu ft fridge that i was using as a ferm chamber without her knowing until it was too late.

this reminds me of how i landed on double secret probation a long time ago in med school. i went awol and just figured i would tell them i got sick after i returned hoping no one would even notice i was missing. that cost me a lot more than this episode but i can laugh about it now.
ha freakin ha.

anyway yesterday i am trying to cool wort in 100 degree weather and my daughter yells "hey dad theres a huge package in front of the door. mom says its blocking her path and she cant even open the door." @#$^&%$#%&$#!!!

i was happy that it said ships from USA (newark, nj.) but didnt expect it to come so quick.



here's my latest marriage killer:

wow

this thing is amazing

very high quality build surprizingly. very quiet. quickly got to temp after i plugged it in. it does seem a little hotter on the sides than my madea or galanz maybe its just the first time to get cold.
its huge i can easily get two oxebars in there with room to spare.
the tower is really sweet and looks very strong not flimsy/ and its insulated inside. spring closing taps. really nice.

i have always used eva and duotight. and i am nervous about the big long gas lines. but i dont want to cut them . i think i will get the female connector from bobby to change them to ball lock and leave them. but use duotight for the rest.

$267 with tax and shipping for a two tower kegerator with tank and regulator.

that'll do the trick!

HMMM Wife will never go for it, but looks cool. So you can get two cornies in there with no problem?

If you look at the scamazon reviews, a buyer posted a pic with 4 x 3G kegs...not sure if that means it'll fit 4 full sized 5G ones..
Hey @fluketamer ; Will it fit 4 kegs?

The wife actually gave me the go ahead, but I just bought a truck and she wants to buy a new TV, so I think this may be a bit of a tease. LOL still very tempting cause my current kegerator only fits one torpedo slim and I have about 12 regular size cornies that I cannot use as of now. LOL

those are amcyl 3 gallons.

About this (amcyl kegs) item​

• 8. 5" diameter by 16. 75" tall

cornies are :
keg Sizes & Dimensions Quick Reference Chart

	Cornelius Keg	Half Barrel Keg
Capacity (gal / oz / L)	5.0 gal 640 oz 18.93L	15.5 gal 1,984 oz 58.67L
Height	23"	23⅜"
Width (Diameter)	9"	16⅛"

9 inches wide.


as per the vevor website:

the interior width is 17.7 inches.

two corneis side by side 9 plus 9 = 18 wont fit but two on the diagonal will no problem.

in the amazon review, the two amacyls are 8.5 plus 8.5 = 17 so they fit . then you can get two more in the back on a littel shelf. which is really genius.

dont let this stop you two cornies is more than enough since theres two taps. plus it comes with regulator and tank.


the fact that it ships from the US and the price is what sold me. no customs to clear.

run dont walk. there may be some left.

@fluketamer : is that pic your new setup?
If so... you may want to consider changing the alignment of your C02 tank to vertical/ up & down. Instead of sideways.
I've heard that it's bad to have a tank on its' side.
Thanks for sharing this great deal!

 

[fluketamer]

No mine is vertical in the back on the outside. That’s a pic that an Amazon reviewer posted showing how he fit 4 three gallon kegs in there.

Thanks... It's the front to back-hump floor measure I'm wondering about though; That shelf has me wondering...
Traditional rubber-handled ball lock cornies are 8-1/2", pin locks are 9", my AEB strap-handled (which are supposed to be the same diameter as AMYCL) are 8-5/8".
How deep is the floor?

 

[fluketamer]

the hump is bigger than i thought . i didnt know ball lock cornies are only 8.5 you could prolly get two in there side by side. i thought you may be able to get 4 in with a shelf in the back but the hump is 10 inches tall so a shelf would only leave a height of about 18 inches too short for corny over the hump.
the floor depth from the door to the hump is 17.5 inches with door closed. the hump is 4 inches deep. 10 inches high about 17.7 wide.

 

[Broken Crow]

Thanks!! Sounds like 4 might be too tight.. do you think it could hold 3?

 

[Broken Crow]

Oh..Another question came to mind: I've been following your Oxbar adventures and noticed you have 2 of them in there (I guess they're a bit wider than regular cornies?). Will you be using this just as a ferm-chamber, or will you install the tower and taps?...Serve from the Oxbars?.
Just food for thought: If you do install the tower, do yourself a favour and go with the 3mm ID EVABarrier..having only 37" of line instead of an awkward coil hanging in the way is liberating... The Monotight 6.35>6.35 straight connector of the John Guest 1/4" one pairs it nicely with a Nukatap shank.

i was thinking three might fit. i figured some math guy could chime in and see if three 9 inch circles can fit in a 17.5 inch square. im sure my son does this in AP geometry.

https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/circles-within-rectangle-d_1905.html

i think the above calculator says 3 will fit.

the oxebars are a bit wider than cornies. i wont be using it as a ferm chamber since thats a waste of a beatiful kegerator. i turned my my madea 4.1 cu ft into a ferm chamber. with an inkbird since the oxebars fit in there nicely. i m pretty sure i will just cold crash. move to the kegerator and serve out of the oxebars since i dont see any reason to transfer the beer if i dont have to.

i already installed the tower. i find that i am drinking much more now that i dont have to open my kegerator to pour a beer. not sure if thats good or bad.
thanks for the tip.

i will get around to changing to eva but the 10 ft of line really pours great right now and i hate to mess with it .

i found a very cheap paintball guy with food grade co2 5 mins from my house so i am happy. will likey go nitro in the fall with black friday. since i already have a very nice nitro tap.

Man I am still thinking of this rig. My wife has given me the go ahead for it too. LOL. But, I have spent so much in the last few weeks I cannot justify another "hobby" purchase. I would have to change or buy new tubing as it looks like it is setup for Sanke kegs, right?

Be careful!! It could be a trap!!

 

[fluketamer]

i clipped the tubing near the sanke attachment. put the tube in boiling water and somehow got it over the threads on a QD. i need to get female flare barbs instead.
but this is working . i would say to get this kegerator its too much fun.

 

[redrocker652002]

I am actually hoping she took my hints and it will be my Xmas gift. I can wait that long. LOL

 

[gorlox18]

It’s showing 279.10 plus tax currently - do you still have the coupon code by any chance?

 

[fluketamer]

when i did it the coupons come up after you sign in. you can try that but the sale may be over

 

[mac_1103]

OK so a late question - is the regulator that came with this any good? I can get one really cheap right now, but even really cheap is a waste of money if it's crap.

Also, glad you were able to get the tank filled. I've read some reviews that said that some of the Vevors don't have a DOT stamp and gas vendors wouldn't fill them.

 

[redrocker652002]

Bummed I missed out. Probably better off actually. LOL

i dont have a good comparison cause this is my first big boy regulator. but it works really good for me. it doesnt leak and its easy to adjust.

i read on reddit about the stamp problem also. i wasnt worried cause at the price i was just happy to get a decent sized fridge with tower . i got mine filled at a paint ball guy locally who said its food grade co2. he filled it for 20$ think i paid. but it looked like he would fill anything as long as you paid him .lol.

Bummed I missed out. Probably better off actually. LOL

i checked recently and its like 549 or something. which is alot. im happy i got mine on the cheap.

Late to the party but…
It sounds like a Fermzilla all rounder would fit?
Thinking a part time fermentation chamber, when not pushing beer.
My current keezer holds 3 ballock kegs so having additional space and taps would be nice.
It is discounted again, not as sweet as your deal, but maybe…

 

[Skunkape71]

I'm late to the party but just checked out the link. the kegerator is now 40% off at $549.43.. Original price of $930.71..

I'd say you stole that baby!
