Looking for a kegerator setup - its my daughters 2nd BDay party this weekend and Im cooking a hog…so of course we need a keg. Was looking at the 5.2 cu/ft Double Tap one they sell at Costco for right under $500 but figured I’d check CF in case some has one they want to part with & sell for less.
i dont know if you have the time, but i built my own out of the fridge that was in my house when i bought it. it holds two kegs, although i can fit 4 1/6 barrels, so i plan to install two other faucets. its also nice having the freezer to hold mugs. i also painted mine with chalkboard paint. this way i can write what beers are tapped and then all your buddies can write naughty messages on it for you, plus the kid loves to draw on it when he’s in the garage.
including the cost of the fridge, it would average around $600, but that’s a good clean fridge, upgraded faucets, and chalk board paint.
if you stayed very basic with no paint and found a good deal on a fridge, it would probably be around $350
also, that is NOT including any kegs. usually once you go get a keg of your favorite brew from the local beverage supply store, they charge you a deposit, usually around $50. then when you go exchange it for another keg, you dont have to pay that $50 again.
an empty ball lock keg (for putting your own homemade brew in) would be around $150 extra.
