Example:
Kegs vs. Cases
One keg of Bud Light: $74.00
(165 beers) = $.44 per 12oz glass.
One case of Bud Light: $15.99
(24 beers) = $.66 per 12oz glass.
A
savings of over $5 PER CASE OF BEER !
Each keg = 6.8 cases.
So, you save OVER $35.00 just by drinking
beer from a keg. |
Why
pay more for beer than you have to?
Think about how much beer you and your buddies drink?
What if you could put 5 dollars back
in your pocket every time you bought
a case of beer.
And
the best part is building your own keg conversion
kit is that it's easy. If you can you drill a hole through
the door of a refrigerator, you can build a kegerator!
Just
follow these easy steps and you will be drinking
cold beer out of your home built kegerator in no
time. Please note that owning your own home built
kegerator can cause serious envy among your friends
and peers.
The instructions for a basic keg conversion kit
include only a few easy-to-follow steps and it’s
not that hard and WELL worth the efforts.

It's
as easy as drilling a hole through the door
of a refrigerator! |
(How
To Convert a Refrigerator to a Kegerator):
Step 1 – Acquire a refrigerator for
your Keg Conversion Kit.
The essential
piece to every home built kegerator is the cooling
unit. You can either use a refrigerator or a freezer
to be the cooling unit of your new kegerator. We
highly recommend a refrigerator to help simply the
process over a freezer.
When assembling your keg conversion kit finding
an old/used fridge can be a good cost effective
measure to creating your home built kegerator. Many appliance centers will accept your old refrigerators if you buy a new one, thus this is a good place
to find an old/used refrigerator to make a keg fridge. Usually, used refrigerators cost between $50
- $100 depending on condition, so go visit a few
appliance places and find the best deal. Or, just
ask around, many times people have old refrigerators
left from when they upgraded and never got rid of
the old one.
Remember, we want this to be a CHEAP kegerator, so spend the time and find a deal. And while a new refrigerator will probably
last you longer than a used refrigerator, an old
classic will make up for that in character. For
instance, go ahead and paint your home built kegerator
with your favorite school colors, add some cool
photos or perhaps pop rivet on some of your favorite
old beer signs to the front of the fridge. Anyone
can own a brand new white Kenmore, however is that
as interesting as scarlet and gray kegerator kit
with a big Buckeye in the middle? Be creative, you
decided what is best for you and your party needs.

If
you drink Labatt the savings are even more.
This sucker paid $50 dollars more than someone
drinking Labatt from a kegerator. |
Advice: When buying your refrigerator for your home built
kegerator you must be sure to purchase one that
is the right size. Please refer to the this
page for dimensions of a standard keg. (However
remember to add an additional 5 inches to the height
measurement in order to compensate for the shank
on top of the keg.)
