Jerod,

If you want to put your kegerator under a counter you must use an under counter kegerator. These units are designed to be installed in cabinetry kind of like a dishwasher. Under counter units vent from the front, not the rear like a regular kegerator. If you install a regulator under a counter it will not vent properly and the compressor will burn out. Check out our selection of under counter kegerator at the below link:

thanks Pete. That will really be helpful. New question…. I just recently found a kegerator on craigslist that I am considering purchasing. the problem is i plan to put the keg under a counter. do you guys make a conversion kit for that (like a rubber stopper to in the place of the tower)? Any suggestions.

Thanks for asking, Jerod.

First, read our tutorial on converting a refrigerator to a kegerator to learn the basics. Second, read this article on serving Guinness at home.

Serving both Guinness and Miller Lite at the same time from one fridge is going to require a large fridge. Since Guinness is dispensed with nitrogen and Miller is dispensed with CO2, you are going to need two separate systems with two separate gas cylinders. Another thing to consider is that Guinness only comes in 15.5 gallon half kegs while Miller comes varying sizes of kegs.

Two space saving ideas you might want to consider are putting your gas cylinders outside of your fridge and checking with your local beer distributor to see what size Miller Lite kegs are available in, in your area. You might want to see if they have tall quarter kegs. To put your gas cylinder and regulator outside your fridge will require that you drill additional holes for the air lines in the wall of the fridge. Be careful when doing this to make sure you do not hit anything that makes the fridge work.

Here is a list of equipment you’ll need to dispense both Guinness and Miller Lite:

Good Luck!
