What is the HBK163B?
Kegco's HBK163B-3NK Faucet Homebrew Kegerator allows you to tap a choice of beers. Whether you are dispensing brews in commercial or residential settings, this specially designed home brew keg cooler is quiet enough for use in your kitchen or man cave yet durable enough to withstand frequent use in pubs and breweries.
Elegant Look
This freestanding homebrew keg dispenser has a sleek matte black cabinet with a matching reversible door.
Useful Features
The HBK163B-3NK includes useful features like a removable drip tray for catching excess, a three-sided chrome guard rail, and lockable rolling casters for fluid mobility.
Why the HBK163B?
This cabinet's expansive 5.8 cu.ft. interior is large enough to hold one full size, pony, or quarter slim keg, two 5 gallon commercial kegs, three ball lock kegs, or two pin lock kegs. When used to ferment beer, it can house a 6 gallon bucket or carboy.
Durability & Functionality
A steel interior floor mat evenly distributes the weight of your kegs for increased interior stability when dispensing multiple ball lock kegs through your Kegco Exclusive 14" tall triple faucet tower. This homebrew kegerator can also be turned into a regular all-refrigerator by inserting the three included wire shelves, giving you extra storage space for snacks and other beverages.
How is the Performance?
The wide temperature range of the HBK163B-3 can be set as low as 32 degrees Fahrenheit in order to dispense fresh beer and as high as 75 degrees for fermentation.
Fan Forced Cooling
A fan-forced cooling system circulates refrigerated air evenly through the interior to maintain optimal beverage conditions, and the Kegco Exclusive 14" tall air-cooled triple faucet draft tower ensures your beer is as refreshing as possible when served.
- Converts to a refrigerator with 3 full-width wire shelves
- Large enough to hold all full size kegs (including Coors, Miller, and many additional brands)

- Matte black cabinet with matching black door
- Digital temperature control allows you to adjust the temperature between 32 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit
- Can be set high enough for use as a fermentation chamber
- Maximum Ambient Temperature: 90 degrees Fahrenheit

- Removable built-in drip tray with grill collects drips and spills
- Chrome guard rail helps prevent mugs and glasses from sliding off

I love Christmas Dave of Sandbridge Beer ClubMy wife surprised me with my new Kegerator. She ordered all the upgrades which I highly recommend. Easy to hook up and maintain. Once you adjust the CO2 the rest is gravy. Best Christmas present ever. We had a Christmas party planned and the Kegerator was a huge hit. I simply cannot list anything negative about the Kegerator.

I love it Edwin MeroneyBeen looking for a long time. now that I have it I wish I had bought it years ago. Drinking beer is a lot cheaper now. Setup was very easy. Only problem I had was nothing but foam at first. Went online and discovered the system needs to be balanced. Added five feet of beer line and all problems are now solved. Maybe they need to address this when you buy it. Very happy

Performs great BobI've only used it on a 15.5 Gallon keg so far, but there is no reason it won't work great with two or more smaller kegs.
I have checked the temperature of the beer in the keg and it is within 2 deg of the set temp.
The temperature displayed for the inside of the kegerator is quite a bit off, but is of little consequence.

Excellent Kegerator for the price ElderYetiI acquired this during a sale and it did not ship with some of the additional parts that you can find on Amazon for the same one. However, that was fine by me as I was looking to save money.
Assembling the unit didn't take long at all. The temperature is pretty accurate (I bought a digital thermometer to also gauge the accuracy and they are within a degree of each other.
I will say that I am using Northern Brewer's Draft Kegs and they use ball locks. I had to make some modifications to the connections but no issues.
The beer pours nice and cold. I am very happy with the system thus far!
Feel free to contact me directly to help you set up a system that is suited for your needs.

Yes, I have the ability to offer you the unit without additional parts. Plus, I typically have the ability to offer savings not seen online.

Great Product/Great Customer ServiceHad this for almost a year and we use it pretty much daily. Had a small issue with the temp and freezing up, but the customer service department got us hooked up with the part we needed right away. Was concerned about having it shipped, however, all was well when we received it. Driver stayed while I un-packaged everything. Runs like a champ and we are considering a second one.
