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

- Can be set high enough for use as a fermentation chamber

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.
