Overview
The HBK163B-1 is Kegco's single-faucet homebrew kegerator in a matte black cabinet with a field-reversible door. It ships with a full ball-lock tapping kit built for Cornelius-style homebrew kegs, not commercial D-system kegs. CSA certified to NSF/ANSI 7 for both home and light commercial use.
Kegco built this specifically around Cornelius ball-lock kegs rather than the D-system kegs used for commercial Coors or Miller kegs, so the tapping kit in the box only threads onto homebrew hardware. That distinction matters more than the cabinet color: pick the wrong model and the included coupler simply will not fit the keg you have. Inside, the 5.8 cu ft cabinet is sized for one full keg or several smaller ball-lock and pin-lock kegs, with wire shelves standing by if you want to run it as a plain fridge between batches.
- 5.8 cu ft interior holds one full keg or up to three ball-lock kegs
- Temperature range 32-75 F for serving or fermenting
- CSA certified to NSF/ANSI 7
- 35.875 x 24.375 x 24 inch black cabinet
Who it's for
Homebrewers who keg into Cornelius vessels and want a dedicated dispense fridge, plus small bars serving craft kegs on ball-lock connectors. Anyone planning to tap standard grocery-store kegs like Coors or Bud Light needs the D-system version instead, not this one.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Includes full ball-lock tapping kit and CO2 tank
- Field-reversible door fits either side of a bar
- Wire shelves let it double as a standard fridge
- Casters make it easy to reposition
- Ball-lock couplers only, no D-system commercial keg support
- Fits one full-size keg or several smaller kegs, not both
Performance notes
Push-button controls and an LED display set the interior between 32 and 75 F, a wide enough range to store beer cold or run a fermentation. Fan-forced cooling keeps the 5.8 cu ft cabinet even, and the air-cooled draft tower is designed to keep beer from warming on its way from keg to glass.
