Review on Upgrade Your Kegerator with the Kegco EBUTCK2-NT Ultimate Tower Conversion Kit - Tank Not Included by Alejandro Dabney

I ordered this item to convert a used mini fridge into a man cave focal point. It was exactly what the doctor ordered. Each item was individually packed in a large box with no damage during the shipping process which was fairly quick. All elements are well constructed and I suspect the tower/crane will function for many years to come. You can't go wrong with this item. A few thoughts for those looking to make the transformation: 1. When choosing a single-tap tower or a two-tap tower, remember that keg beer is unpasteurized and has a shelf life of only 1-1.5 months. The smallest standard keg (1/6 barrel) holds approximately 5.3 gallons. So if you don't have a lot of beer drinkers on a regular basis, a two-tap tower can be an unnecessary expense. 2. I would not recommend buying a new mini fridge as you risk destroying it if you drill a hole for the beer line in the wrong place. It only took a few days of searching the internet (Craigslist) to find a used one for $60 that lived up to the bill (look for one that doesn't have a freezer). There are MANY videos online showing the conversion process and how NOT to damage your fridge. So once you have this kit it shouldn't take you more than 30 minutes from start to finish. CO2 can be obtained much more cheaply in a gas supply business than in a beverage shop. Here in South Carolina I can get CO2 food refills for $15 from Airgas National Welders. I hope this information is helpful and you enjoy your kit as much as I do. Happy drinking!
