First– (How
To Build a Kegerator): 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. ( Kegbooty.com will be adding
additional instructions on how to convert a freezer
soon.) When assembling your keg conversion kit finding
an old/used refrigerator 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 for you keg conversion
kit. 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. 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.

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. )
