I researched the best kegerator for homebrew as I wanted something reliable and easy to use for serving my homemade beer at home. I’ve recently started brewing and realized that having a proper kegerator makes a huge difference in keeping beer fresh and dispensing it properly. I also wanted something that would maintain a consistent temperature and be simple to set up.
I went through reviews from trusted sources like Amazon customer reviews, homebrewing forums, and Popular Mechanics, and after comparing many options these two kept coming up as the top choices:
However, I am having trouble deciding which one would be better for me and I would love to get your expert advice and hoping maybe some homebrewers or people who regularly use kegerators at home on this forum can also share their advice.
I usually plan to serve homebrew for small gatherings and personal use and need something reliable, easy to maintain, and simple to operate at home. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.
I’m liking the KegCo for the extra interior space (fit’s up to 3 5-gal Corny Kegs), digital temperature readout, built in drip trays, optional mount for CO2 cylinder on exterior (back) and 2 faucets draft tower (more beer on draft). Not that the Edgestar cannot be upgraded to a dual faucet tower and also has the exterior CO2 cylinder mount but looks like the KegCo is ready to go. Whatever you go with, you will be very satisfied dispensing Homebrew from your very own kegerator! Good luck!
I’ve had 3. A used Beverage Air which worked well for 10+ years and held 4 corny kegs. It eventually stopped working and repairs cost more than it was worth. I also had a used True I only had that 1 year. It had a habit of either freezing my beer or not getting cold even after a thermostat replacement it also only held 3 corny kegs. My lastest one is a Komos it was sold by Keystone Homebrew Supply holds 4 corny kegs and with a 4 tap tower option it was around $1000.
