Kegco's HBK309S-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
Digital temperature display and push button controls make it easier than ever to set and verify your homebrew keg refrigerator's internal temperature. You no longer have to guess what temperature a number on a dial will produce - simply press the up or down button, and the temperature is adjusted by one degree. The display can be set to either Fahrenheit or Celsius.
Wide Enough Temperature Range to Dispense or Ferment
Fan-forced cooling gives these HBK309 home-brew kegerators one of the coldest temperature ranges of any keg beer dispenser on the market today, allowing it to be set as low as 32 degrees. The fan helps provide even, consistent cooling throughout the cabinet. The wide temperature range also makes it possible for you to ferment your home-brew inside the kegerator, giving you a precisely controlled fermentation environment.
Large Interior
This beer keg cooler's spacious interior easily accommodates up to three 5 gallon Cornelius ball lock home brew kegs, allowing you to dispense one keg of home-brew beer while storing two more at their ideal temperature. It can also hold a 6 gallon bucket or carboy if you'll be using it as a fermentation chamber.
Deep Chill Function
Thanks to the HBK309S-1NK's Deep Chill function, you no longer have to wait overnight for a warm beer keg to reach the correct serving temperature. Simply press the Deep Chill button, and your compressor will work continuously for up to 24 hours to cool down your keg. Once the keg has reached the desired temperature, pressing the Deep Chill function again will return the unit to its normal operation
Converts to a Refrigerator with 2 Shelves
When you're not using this keg dispenser to serve delicious home brewed beer, it can be easily converted into an all-refrigerator to provide extra refrigerated storage for food and beverages. It comes with two adjustable shelves that can be spaced far enough apart to hold 2-liter bottles or gallon jugs, and the wide temperature range makes it a great option for storing bottles of wine.
Locking Casters Provide Mobility
From the kitchen to the game room to the patio, easy-rolling casters allow you to enjoy your home-brewed beer in any room of your home! They can be locked into position so that the kegerator won't move again until you want it to.

Very happy so far PaulAfter reading the reviews here I decided to purchase this unit. Delivery went well, except that the delivery driver wouldn't stay until I had checked everything over for damage (even though the Beverage Factory instructions were very clear that the driver was required to do so). Luckily no damage was found and so I started putting everything together.
I had decided to upgrade to the Perlick 650SS faucets with flow control, and to my dismay once I installed them on the tower it was clear that there was very little room available to adjust the flow control because the 3 faucets were crammed so close together. I decided not to struggle with it and instead called Beverage Factory to arrange return of the tower that comes with this unit in exchange for the T-style tower (item TTOW-3F-SS). I figured the design of the T-style tower would work better with the 650SS faucets, and I was right. I still wish the faucets were placed about an inch further apart from one another on the TTOW-3F-SS, because that would allow more room for wider tap handles. There's certainly plenty of space available to have done this, so I'm not sure why the manufacturer didn't make better use of that space? But I can live with it as-is.
One other downside to the T-style tower is that it's not insulated at all. The tower that comes with this unit had thick felt insulation inside, so I'm not sure how that was overlooked on the T-style tower? I may need to carve out some styrofoam blocks and use them to fill the empty space in the TTOW-3F-SS, or maybe stuff some felt padding in there to provide the missing insulation.
Other than that, this kegerator runs very quietly, so much so that I sometimes have to check to see if it's still running! I put it in our dining room so that it wouldn't both us if it became noisy, but it's been very quiet so far. After 6 months everything still works great. And I love the digital controls that tell me the settings at a glance!
Only other points to mention are that the included hose clamps are cheap plastic; do yourself a favor and get a set of stainless steel earless clamps, to more securely attach your hoses to the keg connectors and your regulator. Also, the chill plate on the back wall of this kegerator gets very cold, so keep your beer lines away from it or else they'll freeze solid! One of mine did just that, and I couldn't figure out why nothing was dispensing!
All in all I'd say this is a well-made appliance and customer service was very good about handling my tower exchange. Recommended!
Hello Paul, thank you for your response and we are really glad to hear you have a had a good experience. Excellent choice in regards to the Perlick faucets and you are correct about the triple faucet tower not having enough space for that particular faucet. In reference to the insulating of the T-style tower I would use plumbers insulation inside that tower. Much thicker. Thanks again and we look forward to hearing from you in the future.

Liked it so much I bought another. AllenAfter several weeks of research and shopping I bought the K309SS-2 as a birthday present to myself over a year ago. I usually keep a slim quarter keg of commercial beer and a ball lock keg of homebrew in it. I'm very pleased with the amount of space, its ability to hold the correct temperature, the quality of manufacture, how quiet it is...the list goes on.
When I decided that I would like to start brewing more and needed a few more taps I considered cheaper alternatives since I already had such a nice kegerator in the 309, but I realized I wouldn't be happy with anything else after using this one. Today I finally pulled the trigger on a second. This time I got the K309SS-3 so I could keep an additional 3 ball lock kegs of homebrew on tap.
I recommend upgrading to Perlick faucets right off the bat. On my first 309 I ended up replacing the stock 5 foot beer lines with 12 foot lines. I ordered 36' of 3/16th beer line when I ordered my second 309 so I can go ahead and make that upgrade while the unit is new and dry. The longer beer lines allow you more flexibility with your carbonation level without worrying about foaming. Other than that this beauty is good to go. I can't wait to receive my second.
You know you want it. Do it.

Worth the extra money DanI hate giving anything 5 stars - just looks like I am over the top. And I did have one issue - the digital temp readout would show E1 when I tried to adjust the temp, the Deep Chill would work fine though. Called and spoke to Arielle who told me it sounded like a control board - shipped me a new one and that did the trick (I volunteered to install it myself). I retain 5 stars because of how great the customer service experience was. Been running 3 months now and here are the pros: Keeps temps to the exact degree - tested with water and a digital thermometer, it is quiet - really, I got the brushed tower with the perlick faucets - it looks great, chiller plate and fan cools down the interior fast, customer support is awesome. The cons - two 1/6 kegs are tight with all the associated hoses, The CO2 tank holder does very little and will not hold the tank at all, the plastic drip tray really does not reflect the awesome quality of this unit. Tips - Get the Perlick faucets - just do it! Order a cleaning kit now - you will anyway. Prosit!
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,

Never leaving my house againThis thing is sweeeet. Delivery took slightly longer than anticipated (from California to NC, so I'll give them a pass), but the kegerator arrived undamaged to my threshold.
Set-up was easy. Automatic temp control is slick. Casters. I've been rotating craft 1/6 barrels. Love it.
I was getting too much head on my first few kegs, especially on the first pour of the day. After multiple attempts at adjusting pressure, I purchased a small tower chiller (~$40) that I turn on a few hours before I know I want to pour. Works perfectly. Essentially it's just a small fan with a hose that blows air from the fridge into the tower. Tower is almost sweating it's so cold. Now my pours average less than 1/4" of foam on top - first pour and every pour after.
