If you want draught beer in your home, a beer kegerator is your choice. An easy way to add it to your kitchen is to buy an undercounter kegerator. An undercounter kegerator will fit nicely next to your stove or kitchen sink. Please note that the undercounter kegerators in this article are NOT built for outdoor use. I will create a separate article for those products.
The best undercounter kegerator
The supply of kegerators to install under counter are pretty low. But I will present two of the best products in my opinion. Both from the well-known company Edgestar.
EdgeStar Full Size Dual Tap Built-In Kegerator
This kegerator from Edgestar have got only a few, but very positive reviews on Amazon. It has the model number KC7000SSTWIN. With its front ventilation it’s perfect to install as an undercounter kegerator. But of course you could also use it as a freestanding application if you wish. The temperature range is between 32 and 60ºF. It has interior LED lightning.
It has an internal CO2 system which you easily can shut off to save gas. The dimensions are 34 3/8 x 23 13/16 x 25 3/8 inches. This allows you to have several different beer keg configurations. For example:
- 1 full size keg
- 1-3 Cornelius kegs
- 1 slim quarter + 1 sixth barrel keg
EdgeStar Full Size Triple Tap Built-In Kegerator
This undercounter kegerator from Edgestar is quite similar to the model above. The model name for this Edgestar Kegerator is KC7000SSTRIP. It is also equipped with front ventilation and four casters. One “major” difference is that this model has 3 taps instead of 2. The CO2 system consists of one 5 lb. Luxfer CO2 tank.
You should really buy a cleaning kit if you purchase this kegerator. This goes for all kegerators, they should be cleaned between every keg. The dimensions for this kegerator are the same as model KC7000SSTWIN above.
Undercounter kegerator installation
To install this kegerators you need some tools which are NOT included in the purchase. If you feel that you have low skills in this area, you might consider getting professional help with your undercounter kegerator installation. This way you can be certain that it’s being done right.
When done in the right way an undercounter kegerator can really blend in nicely in your kitchen. It gives you a feeling of luxury. Every party or gathering you have will draw much attention to your own “bar”.
