Want to get more out of the same small space. This Kegerator has been optimised in space usage, more powerful, more energy efficient and can even fit 4 kegs. So if you want to get the best kegerator for your home brew this is the unit for the job.
Nice upgrades kegland and space creation to 4 kegs. I think it will sell well in our TAB stores. The use of the carbonation cap externally will make co2 cylinder removal real easy. well done. Nice video!
Looks great!
6:11 ..
All I can say is ... I WANT TO COME TO YOUR PICNIC!
Looks the goods. I can see myself using my existing 3 tap font from the series 4 on this (I assume ti would fit?) so I always have the next keg cold and ready to go and use the series 4 for the 50L Kegmenter. My other full kegs can then be placed in the current fermenting fridge to condition. Hmmm...a most interesting proposition.
Awesome, good job I did not pull the trigger on a 4. Look forward to the pricing and availability.
The pricing should be up on the site next week.
Just when I thought I had it all, time to save som money :-D
Super cool!!
Nice job
Thanks for the comment.
I just bought a Series X. Nice unit but some feedback - the air hoses supplied with font do not fit the barbs on the supplied quick disconnects. The inside diameter of the twin wall hose is 4 mm and the outside diameter of the barbs is 7mm and no amount of warming up the hoses, stretching the hose with needle nose pliers would get them to fit the barbs. Better to supply these with MFL fitting and pushlocks or pre-assemble. Would be a whole lot easier for your customers.
I just bought a Series X and it’s nice to have 4 kegs capacity but way to noisy compared to other fridges
no wonder you can sell this stuff so cheap...you save on mic clips!!! love the bulldog clip holding the mic!!!
Oh no. We broke our mic clip and thought nobody would notice out dodgy bulldog clip.
Which type of duotight fitting did you use to connect the gas line to the plastic coke bottle fitting on the back of the fridge?
You're killing me! I'm in the U.S. and can't get any of this. I may need to emigrate.
Williams Brewing distributes. I purchased a series 4 from them about a year ago. Wish this was out then... oh well!
@@garymock9969 Yes Williams Brewing and More Beer stock them so if you request the product from these guys they will be able to help you out.
Your welcome anytime mate, we love Americans and the wonderful things Trumpy is doing over there, were awake up to the swamp and fake news MSM! Cheers
There are some super fantastic features here (the screw on gas port is a great feature). Are the liquid lines labeled so you know which line goes to which faucet?
You can use a sharpie for that. Works well. Cheers!
Hey Kee! Very nice. Question are these branded as Kosmos in the US or is that not you guys?
Yes we do supply quite a few products under the Komos brand by More Beer. More Beer have been fantastic to work with. I am fairly confident they will take on the Series X and they will probably also be supplied under the Komos brand too.
Just got mine today. It doesn't come with the red carbonation cap or a grommet to narrow the hole so you can just pass the airline through without leaving a massive gap which is going to allow the cold air to leak out. I can't find the carbonation caps for sale anywhere in the UK either. I think my only option is to drill a hole the same width as the airline through the plastic cap.
Yea I found this problem as well I just drilled a hole through the cap to pass the hose through
Damn Kee!! What is the trade in/ upgrade program!!!?? Lol I just bought 2 series 4 units last year!! 👍🍻
Brian, I think it's time to extend the bar and get 4 kegerators setup. You know you can never have too many taps right.
KegLand lol right!!
Impressive! What a huge improvement over the series 4. The one question I have is whether the series X makes the same gurgling noises as the series 4?
The gurgling noise is probably due to oil migration from the compressor into other parts of the fridge. If the fridge runs for long enough the oil will mostly return to the compressor and the sound should go away eventually but it might take a few months.
@@KegLand so is it still loud as hell or not? My series 4 is 12months old and still gurgles and carries on the same as it did from new.
@@jonburchell2760 Mine took a couple years to stop. It's actually because I couldn't bare to leave it sit after freighting and just had to plug it all in. Oil didn't get a chance to settle
It is loud! 😬
terribly loud.
I notice that you have two ports for gas, but only one slot for a CO2 tank. Do you plan to sell options where we can attach a dual-tank setup to the back of the kegerator? I would love to have one kegerator have both gases.
This is a good idea. I will take this idea to the team and see what we come up with. We should probably have the option for a second gas cylinder too.
How would i add the carbonation cap set up to a series 4. Any parts you sell that i could use to modify it?
The PCO 1881 threads are pre moulded on the Series Xs. As such you can't really use the carbcaps on the series 4s.
I would like to get one of these once they have stock of all the bits. I wonder if they'd do me a package deal?
The deals on the website are already very sharp. Quite a lot of investment has gone into the development of this new model so I am sure you can appreciate this cost money too.
Do you still recommend leaving the fan on continuously with Series X?
I prefer keeping it off and only turning it on when I know I am gonna be pulling multiple pints.
very cool! What sort of taps are they???? Nukatap?
These are the new taps that are about to be released. This project has been going for some time but the Nukataps will be released soon. Can't say too much about these yet.
Especially made to dispense Nukacola !
Hey I have the series x kegerator, with just a single keg at the moment....may upgrade.
Just a thought, how do you guys and gals, keep track of how much beer is left in the tank, is there a set of scales we can put under the keg wile it's in the kegerator? Or some other method.
We have done some experiments with scales but dont really like this option as it chews up too much power and thus requires a power cord to be connected to the scales. We are having more luck with laser level sensors to pickup on the liquid level in the keg and these are lower power consumption so we can use a battery that will last more than 6 months and report the keg level height so this is more likely the way we will go in the future.
Where is the series X available in the states and does anyone in the states sell a base unit (already have some components I love)
More beer and Williams brewing in the US should be able to get some in.
Where would we put in an order for a US purchase of one of these?
More beer and Williams brewing would be your best bet.
Hello, will 4 fermenter king jr fit in this. Base is 260mm wide x 586 high
I do not think they will fit.
G.. I hope I win this!!
If not, buy one! They are awesome!
Do you know who will distribute these in NZ?
I am pretty sure you will be able to get them from www.brewshop.co.nz/ in the next couple of months.
Bought my series X from a retailer in Finland. My unit does not fit 4 19L ball-lock sodakegs, it only fits 3.
There can be a lot of variation in the ball lock kegs out there. Pin lock kegs also tend to be shorter but wider.
Do you have any UK suppliers of this kegerator yet please?
Best to check with the distributors directly.
Where and how can I purchase the new Series X in China?
Kegland China will be your best bet
Did you make a set up video for the Series X?
Not as such, but setup wise they are essentially the same. Its in the pipeline though, but we are super busy with new products
This is a great kegerator but be warned it will only fit 3 standard 19l AEB corny kegs ! The kegs he is showing are newly designed Kegland kegs. Just tried to fit a 4th keg in the fridge and a little annoyed to be honest :-(.
What taps do you have on there? nokatap? nukatap?
Nukataps are the next generation of taps that are just about to be released. I can't give too much away yet.
I don't see it on your website.
We are just working out the pricing. Should be on our website in a couple days.
Can you buy kegland stuff in the United Kingdom as I quite like your kegerators and stuff as we normally ferment beer straight into a King Keg and use an S 30 bubble to gas it to come out🇬🇧🇬🇧👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🍻🇦🇺
Yes we have a few distributors in UK. You can see all our international distributors here:
www.kegland.com.au/distributor/
This new model will take a few months to trickle down to the other international distributors so you might have to wait a bit longer. We release most of our products in Australia first.
Whaens the ferm fridge coming!!!
The fermenting fridge is well on the way but we still have more software development before this product is complete. I think we should have the fermenting fridges available early next year.
I've found the series 4 kegorater under three different brands. Keg king, kegland and komos.. which one is y'alls brand? Because I've seen the same man in this video in another video for keg king. Any help?
How much of my hard earned will one of these set me back? And how long do I have to wait?
We will release the pricing on our website by the end of this week. The price is about $150 more than the series 4 units. The stock is due to arrive Monday next week.
@@KegLand How long before they're available in America (Portland in particular)? I've got two of your Series 4 and will replace one with an X immediately once available, and gift the 4 to a very eager buddy :)
@@KegLand For clarification: do you mean the 4th of November? In the middle of Melbourne Cup weekend.
@@Tugrik You would have to speak to More Beer or Williams Brewing. They will be able to give you a better idea when these are going to be available in America. More Beer will probably wholesale supply to some of the home brew stores in Portland.
Possible to Get this in Norway?
Yes we have some good distributors in Norway already. You can see them on this map:
www.kegland.com.au/distributor/
Any plans to have a T shaped font tube?
We already offer these here: www.kegland.com.au/kegging/keg-dispensing/modular-fonts-accessories.html
I should say that if you do this type of tee font you need to get our wider 50cm drip tray (this is about to be relesed in about 6 weeks. The standard plastic drip tray that comes with the fridge is not wide enough for the tee font.
@@KegLand Any thoughts on a non modular T style font? Just a nice clean simple one. Certainly now that there is a real 4 keg option, would be awesome to see a more affordable, simple T style font! Keep it up Kee and team!
Hello Everyone!
Since a week i'm the proud owner of a Kegland series X keggerator. Unfortunately it is missing the font fan tube. Can someone tell me what the diameter of the font fan tube is? Ill try and see if i can get a substitute at the local DIY shop. Can't find it on the kegland site under the spare parts section either.
You should not need to do that. The font fan tube should be packed in the box. Please contact the retailer so a replacement can be organised. Alternatively if you really want to just purchase one then you can use electrical conduit that is 20-22mm diameter.
@@KegLand thanks for the quick reply 👍
how do you jump from series 4 to series 10?
Yes this is a good question and to be honest do not have a good answer. It's a bit like the iphone jumping from the iphone 8 to the iphone X.
@@KegLand thats because 9 is gods number and apple is pure evil...bet you they make an iphone 13....
How many sixth/5gal kegs does it fit?
That depends on the diameter. The 4 kegs is based on 21cm diameter kegs.
Never had any Fridge whos getting hot on the outside and i am just wondering how mutch energy consumption this device has.
Put a power meter on the device and you will notice that this unit is extremly power efficient. As we use a large evaporator inside the fridge this captures heat very effectively. As a result when the compressor cycles on for a very short period it will efficiently pump the heat to the radiators on the left and right hand wall of the fridge where the heat is dissapated.
In many other fridge models they will save money by reducing the evaporator size. This results in the heat being absorbed by the evaporator very slowly and pushed into the radiators slowly so they are not as hot. As a result the compressor isrequired to stay on for a much longer time as it has to keep runing for a longer period to dissapate the same amount of heat.
@@KegLand Thank you for your reply. Is it normal that i got a huge diffrence in Temperature? My Brewbrain messeuring 18 °C and the Kegerator ist set to 26 °C (The Temperature of the Brewbrain is correct / i tested it whit 2 diffrent messuring Tools.)
@@JValida Yes that sounds correct. this fridge cannot heat. It's a fridge and is a cooling device. If the fridge is set at 26C it cannot heat up to this temperature. IF you want a fridge that heats you need the RAPT fermentation chamber.
@@KegLand Sorry, I may not have expressed myself correctly. I know that this is a refrigerator. If I have a room temperature of 25°C and set the refrigerator to 20°C, the temperature always cools down to 11-12°C. This means that no matter what temperature is set, there is a deviation of 8-9°C and the fridge starts quite often. It runs for several minutes every hour.
@@JValida For your particular application when using this fridge for fermentation I would recommending pulling the 2 wire NTC probe out from the right hand side of the fridge and extending the cable. This will enable you to put the probe into the fermenter or at least tape it to the side of your fermenter. I think the issue you are getting is the probe is mounted into the fridge wall under a small plastic cage but you are wanting to control the core temperature of the fermenter.
Next product in pipeline - RoboBrew with Bluetooth??
We are currently working on something exciting.
Anyone else with one of these that gives off loudish pops every now and then?
It sounds like your fridge has been tipped sideways or upside down. If this happens you can sometimes get oil migrate into the capiliary tube and create this a popping sound. If this has happened let the fridge run for a few months and the oil will eventually migrate back to the compressor. Always try to transport the fridge upright.
Alternatively the popping sound might be caused by the aluminium cold plate at the back of the fridge changing shape as the cold refrigerant goes through the cold plate and flexes. I have been told by one customer that he solved this proplem by just loostening the screws that fasten the cold plate to the back of the fridge and this allows the cold plate at the back to move a little more freely without making this sound.
It's hard to know without actually seeing and hearing the sound but these two things are the most likely.
So that's why keg king dropped their prices so low.
KK is going bankrupt.
It will not fit your 4 normal kegs of 22.5cm diameter there, they forgot to mention that on the video. It only fits 4 kegs by Kegland of 21.3cm diameter which is 17mm thinner than conventional.
Now I have to sell the Kegerator or my kegs 😡
Good to mention that is quite loud if you are thinking about to put in your living room, think twice, specifically late night and you are trying to watch a telly.
No mention of it sounding like a truck making its way through my house 🤣
these units are almost silent. They are similar in volume to most other bar fridges.
@@KegLand Thank goodness. Tempted to swap out my S4 for one of these!
