What is the HBK163B?
Whether you're sharing your home brewed beer with friends or customers, Kegco's HBK163B-1NK Single Faucet Home Brew Kegerator is the perfect fit for any business or home bar. Kegco has specially designed this keg dispenser to be quiet and energy efficient enough for residential use yet durable enough to withstand the demands of busy restaurants and tasting rooms.
Elegant Look
This freestanding homebrew kegerator has a beautiful matte black cabinet with a matching field-reversible door.
Useful Features
The HBK163B-1NK boasts all of the same great features as other Kegco kegerators, including a removable built-in drip tray that catches drips and spills, a chrome guard rail that helps prevent mugs and glasses from sliding off, and easy-rolling casters for convenient mobility.
Why the HBK163B?
This keg cooler's large 5.8 cu.ft. interior is spacious enough to accommodate one full size, pony, or quarter slim keg, two 5 gallon commercial kegs, three ball lock kegs, or two pin lock kegs. It can also hold a 6 gallon bucket or carboy during fermentation.
Durability & Functionality
A steel interior floor mat helps distribute weight evenly for long-lasting durability and also allows your kegs to slide smoothly in and out when loading and unloading. When you're not using this beer refrigerator to store and dispense kegs or ferment home-brew, it can be converted into a regular all-refrigerator using the three included wire shelves.
How is the Performance?
Thanks to its wide temperature range, the HBK163B-1NK can be set as low as 32 degrees Fahrenheit to dispense kegged beer or as high as 75 degrees Fahrenheit to ferment home-brew. The internal temperature can be precisely adjusted using intuitive digital controls and a clear LED display.
Fan Forced Cooling
Fan-forced cooling helps maintain an ideal refrigerated environment by evenly distributing cold air throughout the cabinet, and a Kegco Exclusive 14" tall air-cooled draft tower keeps every drop ice cold from the keg to your glass. The kegerator also features automatic defrost for added convenience.
- 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)
- Holds 1/2 barrels, full size kegs (15.5 gallons), 1/4 barrels, ponies (7.75 gallons), and 1/6 barrels (5 gallons)
- 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

Dual tap The dudeFair price and I loved the fact that I could customize my order. Free shipping was a big bonus. Arrived in perfect shape and was easy to assemble. Very hot here in south Texas and the machine is holding a perfect 36deg. Great company, great purchase

Quiet and very efficient RichardMy order was processed quickly and delivered in less than a week. I now have this unit for over a month now and to say I and my wife have been very pleased with it so far. It is very quiet. Some other reviewers have indicated that the compressor was noisy. This is not the case. We hardly ever hear the Kegerator running where it sits close to our family room. Setup was very quick from unboxing to startup was about 90 minutes. Only issue is the spot weld was weak on the chrome top rail that in no way effects the operation and hardly notice it after assembly. I would recommend this unit to anyone. You won't be disapointed.
