Kegco's stylish high-quality HBK309X-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.
The Kegco HBK309X-1NK has been designed with a matte black cabinet and a sleek black stainless steel door for a modern look that complements any decor. Black stainless steel is a unique black-graphite tone that resists more smudges, fingerprints, water spots, and streaks than standard stainless steel. Most stainless steel surfaces do not have a fingerprint-resistant finish and will need special polish to keep them looking new. With black stainless steel, cleaning is easy without any special polish requirements - simply clean with a damp cloth followed by a soft towel.
Digital Temperature Control
HBK309 series kegerators have blue LED digital displays that show an accurate reading of your kegerator's internal temperature, and the temperature can be easily set using the push button controls. 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. The HBK309's temperature can range as low as 32°F or as high as 75°F.
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
The spacious interior of these HBK309 kegerators 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. The HBK309 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 HBK309's Deep Chill function, you no longer have to wait overnight for a warm beer keg to reach the correct serving temperature. A simple push of 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, simply press the Deep Chill button again to return the unit back to its normal operation.
Converts to a Refrigerator with 2 Shelves
This HBK309 series kegerator can easily be converted into a refrigerator when you want it too. It includes two adjustable shelves to help provide extra storage for food and beverages, and the shelves can be spaced far enough apart to hold 2-liter bottles or gallon jugs. The wide temperature range makes it a great option for storing bottles of wine as well.
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.
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.

BIG! COLD! BradThis was a big purchase for me. Once I knew I was actually buying a fridge (as opposed to converting one) I decided to go ahead and get one that could fit multiple kegs with two faucets. Might as well right! Currently I have a slim quarter and a sixth installed with a little room to spare. I think I could fit 2 slim quarters as the inside of the door is recessed a little. From the outside it is about the size of a dishwasher.
It will take a few days to cool down completely, but then the ambient tempature inside will match the display. I keep it on 33°F with no problems. You can use deep chill for the first few hours when you first put a keg in. Also, you will be fiddling with the regulator some and opening the door alot makes it harder to get cool.
I installed this unit under my workbench in the garage and mounted the tower to my workbench surface. I used a 6" piece of 2" PVC as a spacer and used and upside down shower drain as a flange to attach to the fridge. Multiple lengths of screws are included. I also had just enough room to put foam insulation down inside the PVC around the beer lines. The tower includes nice rubber insulation as well.
Finally, I find it much easier to pour into a pitcher as opposed to straight into a pint glass. There will be a little foam as the beer in the lines in the tower will warm up just a little. It's not enough to tell a temperature difference, just enough to make some foam. I find it's best to "burp" the faucet twice (open/close quickly), then let it run into the pitcher. From there you can make a perfect pour into your frosty pint glass.
Here are my recommended upgrades:
Worm gear hose clamps on CO2 lines (auto parts store)
Dual gauge regulator with dual shutoff valves
Standard 'D' system sankey couplers
Stainless steel tower
Perlick 525SS faucets
Pressurized cleaning kit
Stainless steel drip tray

Love this Kegerator C. JohnsonI recently purchased this kegerator, I am thrilled with it! Easy to set up and pouring cold beer. I like my beer REALLY cold, this unit has an additional fan and digital display for accurate temperature. I am glad I was able to purchase a great unit with out having to spend a ton of money. I upgraded the regulator to a double gauge, I am not that close to an air and gas place, I would hate to run out.

My friends are jealous! Brewmaster in TrainingI've been home brewing for a couple years and i got tired of bottling so I decided to give this kegerator a try. It is awesome! I set it up with a couple home brew kegs and now I can pour a glass at a time and it always comes out ice cold. I've found that I'm brewing more and experimenting with my recipes because I can have two kegs on tap and compare tastes right away. It's perfect for a home brewer like me.
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,

Great Value! Highly Recommended- Used in home bar
- Unit: (Pros)
- Overall: This unit is a great value. It's intended as a refrigerator type system, and it delivers on its purpose. It looks great, well designed, great fit and finish and stays at a constant temperature.
- Components: The additional components are of great quality. The lines, tower, couplers, regulator and CO2 tank are all top notch. We like the CO2 tank so much that we requested it be filled instead of replaced at our local welding facility.
- Assembly: We had this unit up and running in about 30 minutes after we filled the CO2 tank and bought the beer. The instructions were very easy to follow.
- Controls: The digital controls on the front of the unit are easily managed and readable. We are very glad that we decided on this feature.
- Performance: This thing consistently pours flawlessly. Once we dialed in the correct pressure with the chosen upgraded regulator (very nice!), we have been very pleased with the pints that we pour.
- Unit: (Cons)
- Drip Tray: The accompanied drip tray is a two-piece plastic unit that functions fine. We would love to have the option for a metal drip tray to be as nice as the rest of the unit.
- CO2 Tank Holder: The clip for the CO2 tank is a "Horseshoe" shaped metal band with small holes on each flared end. This design would be fine if there was a provided way to hold the flared ends somewhat together. My wife and I are using a simple nylon cord with a locking slide. (Think camping chair bag closure)
- Beverage Factory: (Pros)
- Overall: This has been one of the best buying experiences that my wife and I have ever had online or over the phone. Our representative was very knowledgeable. The majorly impressive thing was that when she was stumped by one of our questions, she took the initiative and called us back with an answer that day! From start to finish, Beverage Factory listened to our wants and needs, educated us on the best products and components and has followed up after the sale to make sure everything went smoothly.
- Beverage Factory: (Cons)
- Overall: None to report - this was an awesome experience!!!!
- Recommendation: If you are looking for a double tap unit that works for your home bar, kitchen, man cave or game room, the Kegco K309B-2 ROCKS!!!!! We would recommend upgrading the regulator to the pro unit and the tower/faucets to stainless steel. You will be happy that you did. All-in-all, we are very pleased and will be doing more business with Beverage Factory in the near future.
