Homebrew Kegerator How to build a kegerator kit or homebrew kegerator with a Sanyo SR-49XX or Sanyo SR-40XX refrigerator 6/2013 Update 2: I found another DANBY, Model DAR125SDD that should make a good conversion - the dimensions are right and it does not have an internal freezer. This model is available from BestBuy, Wal-Mart or The Home Depot. 6/2013 Update: As far as we know the only reasonably priced candidate for this conversion is the DANBY Model DAR440W. This is the white version of the DANBY Model DAR44BL that Wal-Mart is currently out of on-line. But they also have the Midea 4.9 cu ft beer keg refrigerator for $399.00, not a bad price for a ready to use kegerator. 8/15/11 Update: Sanyo mini-fridges have become almost impossible to find but not all is lost. Beer dispensers have been made from just about all types of refrigerators and freezers over the years. This is a step by step guide to build a kegerator for homebrew beer or soda. The fridge needs to be at least 4.4 cu ft.
Kegerator & Keg Beer Dispensing Equipment A draft beer system can be divided into three equipment categories: Cooling (Refrigeration) Beer Flow Gas Pressure Cooling (Refrigeration) There are many configurations for cooling and storing keg beer. These include refrigerators which also known as Kegerators, Mobile Bar units and walk-in room coolers. A less expensive method of storing beer is to convert a food refrigerator or freezer into a kegerator (see Keg Conversion Kit and our How-to Workshop). All provide the same function by storing the keg under refrigeration at a constant 38ºF temperature. Beer Flow Components The components of a draft beer system include all the equipment from the keg to the faucet. The first component is the Keg which contains a valve with a stainless beer flow tube. The beer in the keg contains CO2 which is naturally produced during the fermentation process. The Keg Coupler, a.k.a. The diameter and length of the beer line plays a major role in controlling the speed of the beer flow at the Beer Faucet.

mash tun « Hoppy Brewing How To Convert a Retired Sanke (1/2 bbl) 15 Gallon Keg Into A Boil Kettle So my buddy Mike wanted a boil kettle, and since New Belgium practically gives away old kegs, I hooked him up.
