If you’re searching around for information on kegerators, the odds are you’ve seen one at a party and now you have to have one for yourself. But there are a lot of people out there who think there’s no way they could afford one.

Building your own kegerator can not only give you a great party piece, but you can save a load of money compared to the pre-made ones. You don’t have to be a DIY wizard and you don’t have to spend every penny you’ve made to do it. In fact, if you or someone you know has an old fridge hanging out in the garage that they’re looking to get rid of, you might have a potential kegerator project. And since they’re so popular at parties, it’s a sure bet that a couple friends would be happy to help out.

The first thing you are going to need is a refrigerator. Even the bottom-of-the-line models can run $400 or more and they come with things like storage shelves, crispers and humidity control that you aren’t going to need anyways.

Your best bet is to find someone with an old fridge they want to get rid of. You might be able to get one for free, but at the most you will be spending substantially less than if you buy something from a showroom.

The next step in making a kegerator is to buy a kegerator conversion kit from a retailer. You can typically get them for very cheap, no more than $100, and they will come with everything you need to install the kit in a fridge. Most importantly, they should come with instructions on how to put everything together and what to do to the fridge.

You’re going to be running hose and installing a tap so you will need the proper tools for the job. Since a kegerator requires gauges and CO2 canisters, it isn’t something that most people can build from scratch.

After installing the kit in the fridge, the rest of the process should be pretty simple. Most fridges will hold a standard-size keg and the process of attaching it should be straight forward. Most kegerator kits come with complete instructions on the process from installing the kit to hooking up a keg.

Building the kegerator might take a little money and patience, but afterwards you have something really great for parties that you can customize however you like. The great thing about building your own keg is that you can customize it however you want. With your own, you can paint it team colors for a Super Bowl party or use a stainless steel fridge for something classic.

If the fridge can hold magnets you could even put up pictures of everyone from the last party and really give people something to talk about and enjoy. You can also get custom tap handles and serving glasses for your kegerator. Buying a kegerator might be easier, but nothing really makes a party as much fun as a great custom kegerator you built yourself.

Do you have a spare fridge in your garage? Maybe it is just sitting there taking up space. Or maybe it houses a few sodas or beers that you keep on hand for parties or just for when friends come over. Did you ever think that there could be a better use for that fridge?

It is extremely simple and affordable to use a Kegerator Conversion Kit to turn that old disused fridge into a piece of equipment that will have everyone coming over to your house for parties. Superbowl parties, Oscar parties, birthday parties or just a summer cookout. Whatever the event, doing a Kegerator Conversion to that old fridge will make your next event one to remember.

What is a Kegerator Conversion?

Quite simply, a Kegerator Kit turns a fridge into a cold beer keg with beer always on tap and at just the right temperature. Forget parties with warm beer or a fridge packed so full the door will not close. A Kegerator Kit uses compressed CO2 and a standard beer tap assembly inside an already existing fridge, which means cold beer is always on tap for any event.

How hard is it to install a Kegerator Kit?

Do it yourself Kegerators have been around for a while. They could be cumbersome and hard to get working properly. But a Kegerator Kit comes with all the parts you need and an instruction manual for easy installation.

It requires nothing more than a few connections and running the hoses. And they are just as easy to maintain. A good Kegerator kit even comes with a beer volume and temperature monitoring device so you know when you are low or when the beer is cold enough to drink.
Why should I get a Kegerator Conversion Kit instead of buying cans and bottles?

A Kegerator kit will not only dispense cold beer and keep it fresh for months, it is also an economical choice for anyone who throws more than a few parties. The cost of cans and bottles can really pile up. A Kegerator not only means no more cans and bottles to deal with after the party, but it can save money as well.

Kegerators also hold different sizes of beer kegs. A full sized keg will fit inside for a big party, or several pony kegs can fit inside for smaller parties. You are only limited by the size of the fridge.

So if you like to throw parties, but you are looking for that extra piece of hardware to set your party over the top, it is time to consider a Kegerator Conversion Kit. Easy to use, cheap to buy and a party sized supply of cold beer. It is time to put that old fridge in the garage to good use.
