    Looking for portable kegerator solutions... 2024 Edition

    Pretty sure it is big enough, but Pancho's went out of business awhile ago. Skimmed online for it used, didn't find much.

    It was suggested a few posts ago. A great solution, but I cannot justify bringing that in a size limited expedition 8-12 hours away. This is what I will do for my next wedding or large birthday party. In March I lugged my keezer across town. Definitely not worth it.

    You might be onto something actually. I was very hesitant to having MANY 1 gallons because I figured I could just bring growlers. With the height restriction, maybe I should be looking into seeing how many 4L oxebars I can fit, get a divider for the vertical keg section (for serving), and then I...

    Good setup, but still pretty small. Honestly, at 1 gallon each it really seems pretty silly. I guess if I wanted to bring (3) or (4), 1 gallon samples that would be OK, but most of the time I have 2 pretty good beers that I would like to bring as much as possible. I really would prefer to not go...

    That is always a good solution for something local, but not reasonable space wise on a longer trip. We always used a trash can for 1/2bbl kegs back in the day. It works.

    I am not as concerned about the weight as an assembly as much I am with how much space it takes up and how many trips I am making back and forth to the vehicle. The 70qt Igloo Cooler is a reasonable size and can hold everything in one rolling setup. Which is where I am setting the bar with this...

    Don't tempt me with a good time. I have a nice MIG and I am pretty good with mild steel. If I started another project like that - I am pretty sure I would end up divorced. Maybe something I can remember for next summer. Now I am wondering if I need to just build an enclosure that holds (2) of...

    Those style coolers would work for shorter periods of time, but if I need to drive 8-12 hours I am going to need a lot of ice packs. Those coolers are never really water proof so I can't just throw ice in there for a 8+ hour drive without having a trash bag around it. I would consider...

    Good reminder. I will make sure I put a check valve in regardless. Thank you. I wonder if it would leak that way. The 110qt Sunset Glide does not have the height for 3 gallon kegs. I think the 90qt Latitude has the required length to lay down so I am sure the 110qt Sunset Glide does too. I...

    It will never be a mild climate in my situation - I live in Florida and most of the situations where I will be using this are going to be at a pool, the beach, or tailgating when its 90-100F with direct sun all day. Sometimes I might need to be able to keep the beer cold for an entire weekend...

    I have not looked at them yet. I would probably not consider the 4L, but I would consider the 8L. It is pretty tall still so I had not really looked at them. Tilting them to the side might gain me more space. I don't think I would be able to get my hands on the Pancho either. The Igloo 10gallon...

    Looking for portable kegerator solutions... 2024 Edition

    Maybe. I am all for DIY, but I am still considering not having any permanent modifications to the chamber and only using picnic taps. I also am pretty sure I'd ruin a perfectly good cooler even though I'm decent for a DIYer. Not like I'd ever do a dovetail joint for skill reference. As far as...

    I don't see how the lid is attached to the bottom of the cooler. Might destroy it trying to remove the lid. Might be more DIY than I was hoping for.

    I suppose that could be an easy enough option if I can get the lid to seal up similarly. Would allow to have taps without permanent modifications. I'd need to insulate and waterproof it pretty good. Not the worst idea.
