Building Your Own Kegerator Can be a Hit With Your Friends

The home draft system or kegerator as it is sometimes called is the anchor of any home bar. A home draft system will give you the ability to keep nearly any beer on tap and enjoy it for as little as 45 cents per serving.

In my humble opinion, purchasing a manufactured home draft system is the best option if you can afford it. You can get a kegerator for sale for as little as $400 or if you are mechanically inclined, kits can be picked for about $100  if you have a fridge to start with.

Once you’ve selected the appropriate refrigerator, you’ll need to choose your kegerator kit. Next, assemble the tools necessary to build your kegerator. Even though the kegerator kits typically include any specialty tools that are needed, you will need a few basic household tools. If you are building a mini fridge style of kegerator, you need to decide if you’re going to have a top mounted, tower style tap, or are you going to mount the tap in the door. If you are building an upright style of kegerator, the tap will be drilled through the door, which has no coolant lines, so this is not a concern.
