Kegerator Series 3 - Pics

This is our demo unit in the office, it is getting well used.

No issues so far except the beer keeps running out.

Expected shipment is 2 - 3rd week in August although the gas bottles from Poland will take till September.  Also this model has twin taps but we will be selling the single tap model as a default config.

BTW if you are in the neighbourhood (Wairau in Auckland) and want to try it out give us a call 09 443 7416 and come on in.

Our First Old Fridge Kegerator

We started developing our first Kegerator around 10 months ago on an old fridge, which Alex, our resident tool guy took to and produced an amazing looking specimen.

Painted in our Keg Resources corp colours (so to speak) it is fitted with a long shank tap and we have the drip tray ready to bolt on - we didn't want to scratch it.

Read more about the project, see some more pics and see what lead us towards our current Kegerator and why.....

Testing the Kegerator Pouring

We had a few people come round yesterday so I took the chance to pull out the video camera and grab a couple of quick takes.

This is our demo model, it has the twin tower/taps as per default for the Aussie home brewing market where they use the Cornelius kegs (often called ball lock).  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornelius_keg

Our order on the boat at the moment will be the single tower/tap and couplings will be the standard NZ D type for all the NZ kegs from breweries.

However for no change in price we can swap back in the ball lock couplers and add a CO2 line splitter along with a twin tower/taps if you so desire in case you are using the cornelius kegs.

One of the crew, Gabriel consented to be our tester.  Needless to say our testing went on quite a while and was very rigorous.

Beer is Macs Gold

Well done Gabriel

Setting or Changing the Temperature

Here's a look at the temperature setting. Degrees C but can be changed to F.  Kegerator is set to 2, beer is nice and cold.

Sustainable Eggnog

Just had a chat with these guys about their sustainably made eggnog.  They are using one of our old kegs and a distilling unit we had lying around to brew up a fresh batch.

They are entering it in the awards coming soon and will produce it commercially very soon.
(I'll update when I hear more)

A bit more about us

Keg Resources started in 2009 after Brett and Darren landed a contract to repair "blue bum" 50L kegs for Lion Nathan.  This was done through their original company Small Engines Direct but as they worked through the project they descided it was a big enough venture to set up a separate company, so was born KEG RESOURCES.

I'll post soon about the keg repair project and show some info on our latest tool for "straightening" 25L kegs.
I'll also do a detailed post of our first kegerator which was a custom conversion of an old fridge complete with paintjob in our corp colours and the testing of the kegerator kit we developed and fittted.
