SCORE!!!! Yes, I'm Bragging: Stole a 10 Faucet TRUE Kegerator

I’m sorry but I can’t help myself. I’ve been shopping for a kegerator and I ran into this by pure chance:

Imgur

A nice TRUE kegerator with a 10 faucet tower and extra 10 faucet tower for $600. All the faucets appear to be perlick SS faucets.

Considering what I was looking for, this seems like a homerun.  I’m gonna be able to USE this thing.

SCORE!  You got it for about 10-20% of what it’d probably cost new for everything.

Nice!  If I came home with that, I’d really have to convince my wife it was a great deal.  My friends, on the other hand, would carry me around on their shoulders!

Quite awesome! That looks like a professional job too.

Awesome score.  Can you report back what that thing does to your electric bill?  I have always been curious.  (Cue Debbie Downer music).

i dont care hehehehe :slight_smile:

I’m really glad you asked that question, because I was also curious about the power consumption on something that big. I am usually the one accused of being the resident Debbie Downer. :wink:

That is sweet!
My question is…
Can you fill it?

pretty sure i can

Weigh yourself now. In a year’s time weigh again. I hope you have lots of friends to drain the thing.

DOH!!!

yeah, you’re pretty much obliged to host an Oktoberfestival this year :slight_smile:

My questions is, are you sure it works? :slight_smile:

Talk about cue the Debbie Downer music!  Although, it’s a very valid point…hope it hums away!

I think you have 10 guys on this thread that would be willing to help you drain it though.

The power consumption will be higher than one might think. When I ran the bottle cooler at home I believe it added $30-40 per month to the bill. I’d say my power bill is mostly fridges to this day…but as the buyer said, I don’t care!

Even if the cooler didn’t work, and I suspect he checked that out or got a personal guarantee that it does, the 2, 10 tap towers are worth what he paid. In fact. I’d be willing to bet that if he’s patient, he can the sell the extra one and recoup a large part of his investment.

Great Buy!!!

If he parts out the extra tower he can probably make $300-$400 back off the Perlicks and the shanks alone.

My biggest question (once I knew it works) isn’t can I fill it but can I keep it full.  I don’t have that many kegs.  Ten in at a time means at least 18 to stay ahead in my house. :o

What a deal man.  I’ve never gotten that lucky.

I would think that once it is full, and all the beer is down to temperature, it wouldn’t use up that much energy. All that liquid should help maintain the temperature.

If it was me, I’d make sure I had enough kegs to fill it. If I couldn’t fill them all with beer, then I’d fill the rest with a Starsan solution. You could use plain water, but I would then add a small amount of bleach to keep the water fresh. This would add a lot of mass to the system and keep it from cycling too often. After a quick drain into another usable container, your keg(s) would be ready to fill with beer.

In any event, it’s a good problem to have.

Nice!  8)
