Kegco 24" Wide Homebrew Dual Tap Stainless Steel Digital Kegerator

You probably can't beat this kegerator for home use. I bought one 3 years ago, then another 2 years ago, and just got one this year. No problems with them at all. I like having the digital temperature gauge. No guessing what you have the kegerator set at. Multiple options for serving is awesome. I've put full size kegs in them, and sometimes run 2 sixth barrels in each.

This is a great entry unit into home brewing keg dispensing! Works fantastic. Family, friends, and neighbors are all amazed with being able to get beer dispensed from a keg at my house instead of being handed a bottle of beer. Another benefit will be able to control my fermentation temperatures, and being able to now do lager beers. I also can't overstate how well packaged everything came. Looking forward to many years of use.

I will start that I simply don't like to give 5 star reviews, but this kegerator comes as close to deserving one as anything I have ever purchased.

I have the K309B-2 Dual Tap unit. I have the upgraded stainless tower and commercial pro dual gauge regulator while the rest of the components are stock.

PROS:

Very easy to set up and assemble. I had mine up and running within minutes (after unpacking and inspecting that is).

Temperature control is stable and truly is "set it and forget it.". Mine is set up in the garage where temps vary from high 50's at night to low 90's during the day, and I have no temp variation issues.

Fairly quiet operation, but I may not want it in my bedroom.

Sturdy build (mostly. More on that later).

Lots of room inside. This EASILY fits the 5lb CO2 bottle, large dual gauge regulator, Two 1/6 barrel kegs, and the associated lines with room to spare.

CONS:

While this is arguably the best kegerator out there for the money, and I would argue in favor of that point, in order to really make this unit shine you need to spend a little more. A number of reviews I read during my research phase complained about the stock/included faucets sticking, and mine were no different. Within the first day of use one of mine stuck, though I eventually worked it free, and after the first keg went through that side it is now jammed and nonfunctional. Just assume, or even do it when you purchase it, that you will end up upgrading the faucets sooner than later. I will be ordering Perlicks very soon.

The unit itself is fairly sturdy and well constructed. There is some "wobble/flexing" of the tower and it would have been nice to have a little more solid foundation to mount the tower to, but it does sit securely and while not truly a CON, it is worth noting so that you won't be surprised.

I had a couple of small issues on the CO2 side, one with the connection between the tank valve and the regulator, which was blowing by at a very fast rate. This was solved by simply removing the regulator and rotating the bushing and re-installing. Also, the regulator feels "crunchy" when turning the handle and experience tells me that this isn't a good thing for regulators to feel like, but I am not sure if this is an actual issue or not. After the initial setting/adjusting of the pressure I did have a situation where the next morning my pressure had creeped back to 0-1psi and I had to increase it again. That said it has been holding right at 9-10psi like champ since then.

Overall I would highly recommend this to anyone out there looking for a home kegerator in spite of some of the smaller things I pointed out. I did quite a bit of research and turned up a number of issues and complaints about foaming, needing to add additional insulation, tower cooling, etc. None of that was a problem for me and it was literally about as plug and play as you can get. Beer pours VERY COLD (I keep mine at 36F) and little or no waste from running foam from the lines before you can make a good pour. Well worth the money.

TL;DR: The Perlick 650SS flow control faucets will fit on the homebrew package upgraded SS tower, and the BevFactory's customer service is out of this world.

So, I'm only in my first week of having the kegerator set up, but everything seems to be working fine.

But it's the Beverage Factory Customer Service I want to tell you about. Their sales folks were extremely knowledgeable and helpful when I ordered the unit, and all the upgrades I added to it / changed on it. But they got one thing wrong, and told me the Perlick 650SS flow control faucets wouldn't work on the homebrew package's upgraded triple SS tower. So I got 630SS faucets.

When I was assembling it, I could see that the 650SS faucets would fit just fine with this tower, so I called them and they were super-cool about it. They apologized several times (I wasn't asking for an apology, nor was I upset, but it they were extremely curteous and helpful, and even offered an apology from my original sales rep).

Their tech support person said she'd go and assemble a triple tower with the 650SS faucets and would call me back. In 20 minutes she called me back and told me they do work, and went to great lengths to remedy my situation. I'm not going to get into specifics, but they were very generous in helping facilitate the exchange.

I will be recommending Beverage Factory to anyone wanting to buy a kegerator or other beer equipment, and I'll be checking with them before I shop anywhere else.

Worth every penny. Quality Refer unit and Tap components. Pours beautifully. I upgraded my regulator, tap, tower and coupler one level and only paid the price difference. My only mistake was going with a single tap unit... now I want a double!
