Turning a chest freezer or refrigerator into a kegerator is an exciting project for beer lovers, but having the right equipment makes all the difference. Using high-quality draft equipment ensures a professional-grade setup that pours beer flawlessly. Here's a detailed look at the parts and equipment you need to build your DIY kegerator.

Draft Tower or Shanks and Faucets:

• Draft Towers: Ideal for a sleek, professional look and multiple taps.
• Shanks and Faucets: For those building custom setups with a collar. Coldbreak’s stainless steel forward-sealing faucets prevent sticky residue and ensure durability.

CO2 Tank and Regulator:

• A CO2 tank pressurizes the kegs for dispensing.
• Coldbreak’s dual-gauge regulators allow precise pressure adjustments and monitor tank levels.

Keg Couplers and Disconnects:

• Commercial Kegs: D-type couplers are most common.
• For Homebrew Corny Kegs: Ball-lock disconnects are required.

Beer and Gas Lines:

• Tubing: Ensure clean and efficient beer delivery. Vinyl tubing is designed for minimal foaming and easy cleaning.
• Clamps and Tailpieces: Secure lines tightly to prevent leaks.

Drip Tray:

• Helps catch spills and keeps your setup tidy. Available in countertop or mounted styles.

Temperature Controller:

• If you're converting a chest freezer, an external thermostat is essential for controlling the freezer’s temperature, keeping beer at the perfect serving temperature (around 38°F).

Coldbreak’s stainless steel components are built to last, resisting corrosion and delivering a clean pour every time. With forward-sealing faucets, precise regulators, and robust tubing, their equipment meets the needs of both homebrewers and commercial setups.
