EdgeStar KC1000SS Craft Brew Kegerator for 1/6 Barrel and Cornelius Kegs

br>br>I have to keep mine set to 32 degrees to get a 40 degree beer. Always check the temperature of the beer itself; most beers will foam up if the temperature rises above 40 degrees, so KEEP THOSE KEGS COLD! Because there is a 4 degree difference between the temperature inside the kegerator and the temperature of the beer, you may want to keep it colder than desired. It took me a long time to figure out why my first keg was so foamy all of the time. Temperature is usually the problem 80% of the time.

Setup is fairly easy although the text on the instructions was kind of small.
Setup is fairly easy It comes with a lot of extra parts, so don't be concerned if there are some left over after you hook it up. br>A cleaning kit is also recommended. It's simple to clean once you've gotten the hang of it, and I purchased this one, which works perfectly: Some welding shops may not be able to fill the CO2 tank because it is small. If this is the case, a local paintball course might be a good option. They only charge $8 to fill mine, and it has no effect on the taste. Should last you about 4 to 5 kegs, but you'll waste a lot of CO2 on the first one trying to get the pressure just right. Double-check that the tank is securely fastened! br>br>While the blue LED light on the inside is a nice touch, I'd prefer a brighter light so I can see the pressure gauge better in low light. However, this isn't a major issue. br>br>Overall, a good value for the money; hopefully your UPS guy doesn't toss it around or turn it upside down. Always let a new keg sit for at least 45 minutes before tapping it after letting it sit for 24 hours. Cheers!.

This is the third time I've provided an update on my purchase. After about four months of ownership, I've come to the conclusion that it's garbage. My regulator, which came with the unit, failed and ruined a keg of beer, so I started right away. Compact Appliance is of no assistance. (The vendor) After four months of ownership and the purchase of a new regulator, the device no longer gets colder than 45 degrees. I set the temperature to around 33 degrees, and when I put a thermometer in there, it reads around 45 degrees. The beer is warm, and it appears that there is nothing I can do to cool it down. It's kept in a basement with a summer temperature of no more than 60 degrees. The only thing this kegerator has going for it right now is its aesthetic appeal.

After doing extensive research on the competition, I recently purchased this unit. This unit comes equipped with a digital thermostat, an internal fan, and a factory-installed stainless tower/faucet, which is unheard of in this price range! br>I was looking for a small, compact unit and couldn't be more pleased with my choice. If you set it up on the shelf and support the other side hanging off, this kegerator will accept a 5 gallon carboy as an added bonus. I couldn't find a solid answer anywhere on the internet, so I posted an image to prove it, and I was ecstatic. Because an airlock will not fit above, you will need to use a blowoff tube. I can also fit a standard 5 gallon corny keg with a 5 pound gas bottle without any problems. Although I immediately upgraded to an Intertap SS flow control faucet and shank, the standard setup worked flawlessly when I first tested it. I also did a 10-foot beer line, but I didn't try the 5-footer that came with it. As many reviews have stated, the temperature controller can become stuck; however, you can easily cycle the F/C button to get the correct current temperature. Setting and forgetting has proven to be the most effective method for me. The tower's insulation isn't the best, and it restricts airflow; however, with a little tinkering, this is a simple fix. So far, the regulator has maintained proper pressure. I'll see what I can do to keep the tower colder so that the first pour doesn't foam up. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase.

Although it appears to be a good buy, it arrived with some dents. Would have given it a higher rating if it weren't for the dents. Particularly the location in which they are situated. One is on the door, and you must be careful not to cut yourself due to the sharp metal created by the dent. br>br>Review of the most recent update - The dents are still bothering me. Aside from that, the CO2 gauge is broken. The gauge does not adjust when you lower it; I've had another kegerator for over 15 years and this one is not up to par. I also attempted to contact the seller but received no response. Normally, a seller on Amazon stands behind their product, so I was very disappointed.

I didn't care for the fact that the 2. Most places will not be able to fill the 5 gallon tank that comes with the kegerator. After doing some research, I discovered that I could purchase a 5-gallon tank that would fit nicely in the kegerator and would be simple to fill at any gas station. br>In addition, the 1/6 keg restriction restricts the types of beers available. In my area, I can only find Blue Moon, Boulevard IPAs, Fat Tire, and Michelob Ultra beers. There are a few other options that are less well-known. The alternatives, on the other hand, are satisfactory. Furthermore, the cost per beer is higher with the 1/6 keg options than with cans. The amount of money I spend on beer has risen dramatically. Expect to spend a lot of money on beer if you want to save money. br>The ease with which it could be put together was appealing to me. It was very simple to follow the directions. It was a breeze to get my beer flowing once I figured out the tank issue. The faucet performs as expected, and I've had no issues with it thus far.
