There was a nice for for sale on bassbarn recently. It was a Sudsbuddy for around 400. They sell for almost 900 new.
ChrisM,
Thanks again for the tip. I bought the Sudsbuddy that was on Bassbarn.
Really nice unit.
 
For those looking for the kegorator there's a new product out that is basicaly a counter top variety-it looks like a large coffee maker, that accepts the 5 liter mini kegs. The device was patented by Hieniken, and is in the process of being marketed to other beer manufacturers. Right now there are only about 5 manufacturers who use the 5 liter mini kegs, but we can expect that number to continue to rise.

Best part: The machine is only $79.00! yep, that's $79.00 for beer on tap in your house 7 days a week[lol]
 
How do you guys clean your lines?
Try using PBW to clean your keg lines. It is the best stuff out there. I have been brewing my own beer for years and I swear by it. The trick is to let it sit in the line overnight to soak. Then rinse with luke warm water in the morning and your lines will look brand new. You might also want to get this little kit to make it easier to force the cleaner and fresh water through your lines.
 
Chris, I'm going to start with Yuengling lager.
Thats the first keg I put in there as well. Its pretty craxy how these Sudsbuddy units only use two little fans to make it that cold in the Kegerator[up]

How often should lines be cleaned. I have heard that every other Keg is good.

I have one of those units as well. I have the Krupps Beer Tender. Its OK but nothing like having a full unit. Also, I can only find Heinekin in the small kegs. What other beers have you found? The other problem is a 5 liter Heineken keg is 19.95 and has about 14 12oz beers in it. A Quarter Keg of Yuenling which is 7.75 gallons and has 82 beers in it is around 44.00.[up]
 
What other beers have you found?
Shoprite liquors also has New Castle. The Machine is a heiniken invention-and heiniken is now leasing the technology to other brewers hence we should see other brands becoming available in the next year

When I had a kegerator that My friend and I made from a regular fridge we used clear flexible tubing you get in the plumbing aisle at home depot for the lines. When beer would get a little fuzzy for about 2 bucks you would just replace it. Good thing about making your own is the freezer up top is great to fill with frosty mugs.. I want to build another one myself. Wifey is not a fan[hihi]
