However, I had already brewed my 3rd and 4th beers. So, I had a dilemma. Do I bottle the other two beers or do I buy another kegerator? Initially, I was looking at a dorm-room style fridge that fit two Cornelius kegs. There were kits and pre-made kegerators with a total investment of about $500. I like variety and I&#8217;ve really enjoyed brewing so after brewing my first two beers, i did two more but luckily, the kegerator I bought was a converted full-size fridge. This meant you could put a commercial full-size keg in there or 4 homebrew soda kegs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I got on a chat with Midwest supplies. Those guys have been great through this whole process. I&#8217;ve bought everything through them because their customer services rocks. Two hours after sitting in a chat room with a sales rep, I pulled the trigger on the equipment to add two more taps to my kegerator bring the total to four. It&#8217;s a very cool setup actually.\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Four Reconditioned Corny Kegs. I replaced all of the O-rings and lids with new parts.<\/li>\n<li>5lb CO2 tank<\/li>\n<li>Dual CO2 Regulator with two pressure dials for each tap<\/li>\n<li>A four-hose separator so I can easily hook up 4 kegs to one regulator hose and each hose has its own on\/off valve<\/li>\n<li>About 80 feet of tubing<\/li>\n<li>Four stainless steel faucets<\/li>\n<li>A crap load of various clamps and connectors<\/li>\n<li>Two of the Ball-Lock connectors have screw releases so I can unscrew the barbed homebrew tubing and put on the tubing connecting to a commercial keg. Now, if I want I can get a commercial quarter keg and hook it up with just the twist of a wrench. The kegerator I bought came with an empty quarter keg and 4 Sankey locks (2 US and 2 European)<\/li>\n<li>Four sockets that go through my fridge that connect to the liquid line hoses<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>The one thing I was asked while on with the sales representative is why I was going for a dual regulator when I had a 4-line splitter for the CO2. I&#8217;d like to have the extra tube available to force carb beers after kegging. I can simply kill the CO2 to all but one keg via the 4-tap splitter&#8217;s valve controls and change the hose to the new keg then up the power but I had the extra money to get a dual regulator and can now easily force carb a keg while the other 4 are still plugged in and serving. At the very least, I can purge the O2 from a newly kegged home brew if I don&#8217;t yet have capacity to hook it up to the kegerator since all 4 are still with beer in them.<\/div>\n<p>It took about 6 hours to take apart the fridge, clean and then get everything setup. I also had to test for leaks and any pressure issues since it was all being built by hand. I didn&#8217;t order tap handles but I&#8217;m taking my time on what to use for those. I could make my own or perhaps get some ones I find interesting. My beers are always changing so maybe chalk handles? I&#8217;m not sure yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Everything fit in the fridge perfectly and, with trial-and-error, I dialed in on the right carbonation to serve. I had already force carbed the beers with the previous single regulator a few days before and some priming sugar.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So, that&#8217;s the update on things. Basically, I have 4-beers on tap on my deck in a full-size fridge and a freezer full of glasses and serving pitchers and, of course, bagged hops. I don&#8217;t believe in serving beer in chilled mugs but a lot of friends who drink my beer have requested them and many people think it&#8217;s how beer is served. For them, I have 15 or so chilled mugs for them to use. I still drink my beer in the wine glasses that allow for better beer clarity and scent (for my reviews and enjoyment).<\/p>\n<p>I was asked privately and on here to review my own beers. I&#8217;m going to do that soon. Maybe this weekend. I&#8217;m letting them clear up a bit, letting some of the hops settle and overall, just letting the beer balance out a bit. The friends who have had them love them which is nice. Now, some photos!<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View &#039;4-Faucets Installed&#039; on Flickr.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/44048128@N00\/7403729674\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  style=\"display: block;
