The current kegerator holds the cold plate for the carbonator and leaves room for two 5-gallon kegs. It is set up for 1 ball lock Cornelius "corny" soda keg and one commercial Sankey keg (1/6 barrel size).


TBD upload photos and put them on here, step by step instructions.

Took the valves off the keg ends of the lines and took them apart and soaked them in PBW too. Turns out, you can take apart line connectors for corny keg valves. We really should do that more often, it gets gross in there.

== Use with Sankey kegs ==
== Providing a Keg for an Event ==
 
The Kegerator system can be used with Sankey kegs. These are the kegs that commercial breweries use. The capacity is two 1/2 barrel (15.5 gallons each) kegs. Note that this has only been tested with Kegcraft kegs, which are used by Revolution and other microbreweries in town. (But that is what matters. Come on, with a bar this cool, do you really want to put MGD on tap?)
 
Both keg couplers are fitted with MFL connections for gas, which means that changing between Cornelius keg disconnects and the Sankey keg coupler is a trivial task with an adjustable crescent wrench. This is also true for the lower beverage line.


The lower shelf is the default place for a Sankey keg. The keg must be propped up on the 2x4 stand so that the refrigerator door will close completely. There is very little clearance for the keg coupler, and you may need to rotate the keg such that you can install the coupler, turn it to lock it, and not run into the blower assembly for the draft tower duct.
If you are interested in having Drinking Station: One serve something specific at your event, or plan on hosting a large number of people, it is polite to provide a keg. We can accommodate a single 1/2 barrel "Full" keg in an Ice Bucket behind the bar. Please alert bar@pumpingstationone.org as soon as possible, to coordinate.


The upper shelf can take a Sankey keg as well, however there is very little clearance due to the refrigerator light. This one only works if you use a hose barb tail piece instead of an MFL, which means loosening the hose clamp, removing the hose from the barb (note: takes substantial force and wiggling), forcing it onto the other barb, and clamping it.

It ices up a lot, and thus needs to be defrosted every once in a while. Don't leave the door open for any length of time more than absolutely necessary. Currently, we are trying to put desiccants in there to reduce the moisture, and thusly the ice content.
The door does not quite close, we are considering upgrading to a larger fridge.

Fridge issues

The door does not quite close, we are considering upgrading to a larger fridge.

TODO

  • Screw down the top of the bar; it is loose as is. Could unscrew later if we need to remove it.
  • Upgrade from 2 to 4 taps
  • Temperature sensors in fridge and tap line
  • Beverage line locks and RFID controls
  • Build liquor cabinet
  • Relocate soda gun
  • Make signage
