Kegerator Set Up Guide Part 1 🍻🍻🍻

Welcome to part 1 of my 2 part series on setting up a kegerator.
These guides are designed to be generic and should be useful no matter which kegerator you are setting up be it manufactured purpose built or home built.

Awesome guide David. The best I have seen on putting together a Kegerator and you are not even done yet! Many thanks for all your great guides.

Just set up my Series X and this video was very helpful. Thanks, for all the other well-made and informative videos too!

David it's Paddy! I just found your channel mate (from your fb post) and wanted to say congrats on the amazing channel and content. I'm going to binge watch all of these now! :)

I do love your videos David and find loads of Learning in all of them. If I may come with a request for a video in the theme of kegerators; title: «How to get your partner’s blessing for a kegerator when living in an inner city flat» I’d learn that by heart😀.

[NoelSufrin]

Great video as usual! Hopefully I can afford to build mine soon, and will refer back to this vid when I do! 🍻

David, Great videos for the Kegland Series X Kegerator build. I bought the Komos three tap from Morebeer, I should have gotten the four tap. With the three tap the tower build is a bit different, it is easier to assemble the tower prior to attaching it to the kegerator as the mounting screws are on the peripheral of the tower instead of the inside. Just don't forget to install the base trim ring first, or you end up doing it over. You can guess how I know.

Great tips! Dropping your nuts really is a pain!! That is a nice kegerator! I wish they had that version when I bought mine. Looking fwd to part 2! Cheers! 👍🍻

Hi, David :) great content as always, thank you! I have a video idea/request; I know you have previously discussed SS Brewtech vs Grainfather Chronical fermenters, but I would really like to see a comparison or pro/con of those versus the newer unitanks that are hitting the market. I know they are at different price points, but it would be nice to hear your take on what is worth the money and what is not.

I insulated the inside ot the font and the lid with formshield.

I used 10mm which snugly fits above the screw rim at the bottom. I also think 5mm would work fine.

Thanks for your video yesterday can you please tell me how many days do you ferment your stouts for and do you bother doing secondary ferment also do you really need to filter them for me I don't bother I just ferment them for about 7 to 10 days so maybe I'm doing it all wrong I'd love to know your thoughts thanks
Ps I use a thing called a ferminator I bought it from a guy in Northern Ireland its made of poly stirring its a kind of a mini fridge it keeps my fermenter stable on temperature 17.5 C
My og is around 1048 and fg is down to around 1012 its an oatmeal stout I've been algrain brewing now for around 14 years but it's not very consistent I'd very much like to know what you think cheers David

[wog]

Hey David, i have just bought one it is making awful a lot of noise when it is cooling? Is it too loud for you as well? How loud it is comparing to the regular fridge?

[nrpeffe]

Hi David - is it possible to purchase the small tap handles you are using in the US? I think they look really nice on the Nukatap. Thank you for another great video. Cheers 🍻

[orangesale]

Hey David, I have a series X unit with 4 taps, the tower is wigglying like crazy, the top of the fridge does not seems to be rigid. Did I get a lemon or yours is like that ? Thanks

[adamc]

Hi David, would be great if you could discuss draft system balancing. What length of 4mm beer line do you recommend for various keg pressures?

[paulnicholasadams]

I got this and assembled it the same day you released this video. I only got 6m of beer line so not sure how you cut it into 3m lengths, also no tube cutter with mine. Screwing in the tap tower was a huge pain.

[LeeSteventon]

@David - is it possible to install such a kegerator underneath a worktop, with my own tap setup on top of the worktop, as say in a home bar situation?

[tonothequick]

Great video as usual. Please, David where I can find a X serie kegerator here in europe ? For me is really hard to find one. Thanks !

[JelmoNL]

I have the Mangrove Jack kegerator with 3 tap setup and looking into replacing the default taps with Nukataps and using quick disconnect fitting for easier maintenance. Which fittings are those that you put on the shanks? And to be sure: those are barbed and not screwthread shanks, right? (btw I’m ordering at that one familiar Swedish homebrew shop since these 5”things are far too hard to find over here in The Netherlands). Thanls!

[paulford]

Hey David! From your experience, how long can your brews keep in kegs? There seems to be alot of misinformation on the internets about this... some say months, some say weeks. My buddy who works for a big domestic brewery here in canada says its a matter of a couple weeks for their brand?
