Kegco's HBK309B-1NK Homebrew Kegerator adds digital functionality and a wider available temperature range to one of the best kegerators you can find. Your favorite features from our other high-quality Kegco Draft Beer Dispensers are still included, such as attractive styling, a removable and easy to clean built-in drip tray, a chrome guard rail to prevent your glasses from sliding off the top, and easy rolling casters that allow you to move the unit from room to room with ease. Now, in addition to having a wider available temperature range for more precise temperature control, you also have the ability to view your specific temperature setting and easily set it with the push of a button.
Digital Temperature Control
Your control over your home brew beer doesn't end once your beer has been kegged! The HBK309B-1NK features digital functionality and a wider available temperature range to give your more precise control over your beer keg's temperature. This kegerator's temperature is adjusted using intuitive up and down buttons instead of a manual dial, and you can easily view the temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius on the clear LED display.
Wide Enough Temperature Range to Dispense or Ferment
Kegco's HBK309 Series of homebrew kegerators utilize fan forced cooling to provide even cooling throughout the unit. They feature one of the coldest temperature ranges of any keg refrigerator on the market - as low as 32 degrees! You can also set the temperature high enough to ferment your homebrew in the kegerator, allowing you to precisely control the fermentation environment.
Large Interior
This home-brew keg cooler features a spacious interior that can easily hold up to three 5-gallon Cornelius ball lock home brew kegs, so you can keep multiple kegs stored at their ideal temperature and ready to dispense. It can also hold a 6 gallon bucket or carboy during fermentation.
Deep Chill Function
No more waiting overnight to enjoy a refreshingly cold glass of home brewed beer! The HBK309B-1NK features a Deep Chill function that quickly cools a warm keg in a matter of hours, so it can be ready for an afternoon barbecue or dinner party. Simply press the button, and the compressor continuously for up to 24 hours to get your keg to the desired temperature. Press the button again, and your kegerator returns to its normal operation.
Converts to a Refrigerator with 2 Shelves
When you've run out of home-brewed beer to dispense, or whenever you need some additional refrigerated storage for a party or special event, this versatile kegerator can be easily converted into an all-refrigerator to hold your food and beverages. It comes with two adjustable shelves that can be spaced far enough apart to hold gallon jugs or 2-liter bottles, and it can even be used to store wine thanks to the wide temperature range.
Locking Casters Provide Mobility
The HBK309B-1 includes easy-roll casters that make it easy to enjoy your home-brew beer in any room of your home! Once the keg dispenser is in position, these casters can be easily locked so that your kegerator won't move again until you want it to.
This homebrew beer keg dispenser comes with a Kegco Exclusive 14" tall single tap draft tower, one faucet with faucet knob, and 5 feet of 3/16" I.D. clear beer tubing. Choose from the optional add-ons below to customize a homebrew dispense system setup that's just right for you.

Good product. Works as advertised EdI will start that I simply don't like to give 5 star reviews, but this kegerator comes as close to deserving one as anything I have ever purchased.
I have the K309B-2 Dual Tap unit. I have the upgraded stainless tower and commercial pro dual gauge regulator while the rest of the components are stock.
PROS:
Very easy to set up and assemble. I had mine up and running within minutes (after unpacking and inspecting that is).
Temperature control is stable and truly is "set it and forget it.". Mine is set up in the garage where temps vary from high 50's at night to low 90's during the day, and I have no temp variation issues.
Fairly quiet operation, but I may not want it in my bedroom.
Sturdy build (mostly. More on that later).
Lots of room inside. This EASILY fits the 5lb CO2 bottle, large dual gauge regulator, Two 1/6 barrel kegs, and the associated lines with room to spare.
CONS:
While this is arguably the best kegerator out there for the money, and I would argue in favor of that point, in order to really make this unit shine you need to spend a little more. A number of reviews I read during my research phase complained about the stock/included faucets sticking, and mine were no different. Within the first day of use one of mine stuck, though I eventually worked it free, and after the first keg went through that side it is now jammed and nonfunctional. Just assume, or even do it when you purchase it, that you will end up upgrading the faucets sooner than later. I will be ordering Perlicks very soon.
The unit itself is fairly sturdy and well constructed. There is some "wobble/flexing" of the tower and it would have been nice to have a little more solid foundation to mount the tower to, but it does sit securely and while not truly a CON, it is worth noting so that you won't be surprised.
I had a couple of small issues on the CO2 side, one with the connection between the tank valve and the regulator, which was blowing by at a very fast rate. This was solved by simply removing the regulator and rotating the bushing and re-installing. Also, the regulator feels "crunchy" when turning the handle and experience tells me that this isn't a good thing for regulators to feel like, but I am not sure if this is an actual issue or not. After the initial setting/adjusting of the pressure I did have a situation where the next morning my pressure had creeped back to 0-1psi and I had to increase it again. That said it has been holding right at 9-10psi like champ since then.
Overall I would highly recommend this to anyone out there looking for a home kegerator in spite of some of the smaller things I pointed out. I did quite a bit of research and turned up a number of issues and complaints about foaming, needing to add additional insulation, tower cooling, etc. None of that was a problem for me and it was literally about as plug and play as you can get. Beer pours VERY COLD (I keep mine at 36F) and little or no waste from running foam from the lines before you can make a good pour. Well worth the money.

Service has made me a customer for LIFE! Brother JamesTL;DR: The Perlick 650SS flow control faucets will fit on the homebrew package upgraded SS tower, and the BevFactory's customer service is out of this world.
So, I'm only in my first week of having the kegerator set up, but everything seems to be working fine.
But it's the Beverage Factory Customer Service I want to tell you about. Their sales folks were extremely knowledgeable and helpful when I ordered the unit, and all the upgrades I added to it / changed on it. But they got one thing wrong, and told me the Perlick 650SS flow control faucets wouldn't work on the homebrew package's upgraded triple SS tower. So I got 630SS faucets.
When I was assembling it, I could see that the 650SS faucets would fit just fine with this tower, so I called them and they were super-cool about it. They apologized several times (I wasn't asking for an apology, nor was I upset, but it they were extremely curteous and helpful, and even offered an apology from my original sales rep).
Their tech support person said she'd go and assemble a triple tower with the 650SS faucets and would call me back. In 20 minutes she called me back and told me they do work, and went to great lengths to remedy my situation. I'm not going to get into specifics, but they were very generous in helping facilitate the exchange.
I will be recommending Beverage Factory to anyone wanting to buy a kegerator or other beer equipment, and I'll be checking with them before I shop anywhere else.

Great Setup!!!! AndyWorth every penny. Quality Refer unit and Tap components. Pours beautifully. I upgraded my regulator, tap, tower and coupler one level and only paid the price difference. My only mistake was going with a single tap unit... now I want a double!

Great Product, Great Service CJOriginally selected model was on back order; Beverage Factory representative called to discussed options and was able to upgrade to digital display model for same price. Product arrived safely and setup was swift and painless. Only issue was with the ball lock liquid out adapter, which was somehow missing the piece which allows liquid to flow. Contacted Beverage Factory, and had a new one in my hand in a few days.
This is an indication that your units compressor is getting too cold then warning up creating the full tray. I would suggest you empty out the tray and try to determinant how often the tray is filling up. Are there extreme weather issues happening lately in your area that could be effecting the unit? If you would like to give us a call and chat with our technical department or customer service we're available from 7-4 PST Monday-Friday.
Yes you can use it to dispense cider, i would look into seeing what PSI pressure Cider is dispensed at before doing so. I hope this helped and thank you for your question.
Thank you,

Adds another level of fun to brewing!This is a great entry unit into home brewing keg dispensing! Works fantastic. Family, friends, and neighbors are all amazed with being able to get beer dispensed from a keg at my house instead of being handed a bottle of beer. Another benefit will be able to control my fermentation temperatures, and being able to now do lager beers. I also can't overstate how well packaged everything came. Looking forward to many years of use.
