Solstice is unlike any kegerator ever designed.

With the option to run on DC power, KegMaster Solstice can cool your kegs with solar power or batteries. You can also simply plug KegMaster Solstice into a normal 10amp household outlet and enjoy beverages on tap from this beautiful, all stainless steel kegerator.

Perfect for remote operation in caravans, on boats, mobile bars, festivals and food service vehicles. KegMaster Solstice is also perfect for homes, offices, cafes and bars.

KegMaster Solstice – World’s First 12V DC Powered, Cassette Based, Heating & Cooling Commercial Grade Beveridge Dispensing 6 Keg Beer Keg Fridge and Fermentation Fridge.

Designed in Australia by Keg King Engineering, the KegMaster Solstice delivers a powerful new approach to serving beverages on tap and fermentation temperature control.

Visually Stunning - KegMaster Solstice is constructed of 304 stainless steel providing visual impact and easy to maintain, sanitary surfaces inside the kegerator, on the outside walls and benchtop.

Power Flexibility - The 12 volt DC design of KegMaster Solstice can integrate seamlessly with your lifestyle and space. The included 240V DC power pack provides home users with the ability to simply plug their KegMaster Solstice kegerator into any standard Australian 10amp power outlet.

The flexibility of the 12 volt DC design means that your KegMaster Solstice kegerator can also be powered by batteries, solar or any mix of these that can provide 12 volts at 15amp max supply. This means KegMaster Solstice can be installed on boats, in caravans or anywhere that you can supply the power requirements.

Cooling or Heating – With its high performing HJ-510 temperature controller, your KegMaster Solstice can be set up to run heating or cooling modes and can also set the defrost cycle. An internal cold air hose is included for font cooling. This dual temperature feature provides users with the ability to use the heating for fermentation or curing of small goods, or switch to cooling mode to bring kegged beverages down to serving temperatures quickly for draught tap dispensing. Simply set the controller to the temp you require and the KegMaster Solstice will keep that temp accurately and efficiently.

Unique Cassette Design – The innovative heating and cooling cassette design of the KegMaster Solstice provides a simple solution to quick, quiet temperature cycles. The cassette can easily be removed and replaced if required by simply removing six screws that attach the cassette to the kegerator body. The walls and benchtop of the KegMaster Solstice contain no coolant lines. All cooling and heating are provided to the kegerator from the cassette.

High Capacity - The KegMaster Solstice provides 236L of space that can easily hold six (6) Cornelius Variety Ball Lock Kegs, or four (4) 20L P.E.T. King Kegs + one (1) Cornelius Keg. Alternatively, a 50L commercial keg and gas cylinder can also be installed within the fridge space.

Sealed Gas Ports – With our new push-in ‘through wall’ fittings, gas line ports to pressurise your kegs remain sealed and won’t expose the kegerator to outside temperatures.

Environmentally Friendly – KegMaster Solstice utilises environmentally friendly R600 refrigerant

Outside / Inside – KegMaster Solstice is rated for temperatures of 40c ambient which makes it ideal for both an inside AND outside environment

Fits a wide array of tap fonts – Sold without fonts, users can select from a wide range of font equipment for their tap systems including our popular Standard Fonts, Modular Font Kits and the new range of UltraT Fonts from Keg King.

Put the KegMaster Solstice to work in your home, café, bar, cabin, boat, caravan or anywhere you want to serve up to 6 kegs from one kegerator. The powerful heating and cooling cassette of the KegMaster Solstice is suitable for humid envionments and off-grid living situations. Anyone can get accurate temperature control for fermentation and beverage dispensing practically anywhere when they’re using a KegMaster Solstice.

The KegMaster Solstice isn’t just flexible in its heating and cooling applications, but also in how you plumb the tap system and arrange the door access. With Solstice’s reversible door, you can select the orientation that works for you in your space. Solstice is also perfect for under-bench installations because you only need to provide 100mm of adequate ventilation space on the side of the kegerator with the cassette.

How does our new KegMaster XL Premium kegerator compare to the previous models ?

We redesigned the new KegMaster XL Premium with:

A more powerfull compressor
External condenser lines positioned behind the unit, instead of embedded in the walls

What improvements do these changes offer?

Greater Product Longevity

The external condenser lines are significantly easier to repair or replace, resulting in less landfill (i.e. instead of disposing of the whole unit).

Better Cooling Efficiency

External condenser lines should result in significantly less heat leaking back into the unit (compared to embedded lines).
Cooling efficiency should increase with the condenser lines exposed directly to the air.

Less Space Required

Our new units no longer require the 10cm clearance on the sides or rear of the unit*.
Moving the condenser lines externally to the back of the unit removes the need for side clearance and airflow, significantly reducing the footprint of the unit for built-in applications.
*NOTE: airflow is still required at the back of the unit, so the unit cannot be fully enclosed without ventilation.

Better Suited for Aussie Climates

Overall, the new KegMaster XL Premium reduces running costs by increasing energy efficiency by more than 20%.
providing the ability to better cope with warmer, more humid climates.

More Environmentally Friendly

More than 20% increase in energy efficiency

Less landfill, as the external condenser lines are repairable.

Recommended Setback

Our KegMaster Pemium needs good airflow to help it achieve optimum cooling power. The ideal setback, or spacing, is as per below (when facing the fridge):

No setback required on the sides
No setback required at the back, though we suggest 5-10cm for good airflow circulation
No setback required on the top, can be installed flush to a counter top
No setback required underneath*
No setback at the front
Can not be enclosed into a cabinet, it must have vents

*It is recommended to have your KegMaster Premium elevated from the floor, in case any moisture settles under it, the spacing will help dissipate it.

You can upgrade your Premium Kegerator's benchtop!

Swap it out for a Stainless Steel Benchtop For Kegmaster Premium.

Simple to replace and enjoy, Our KegMaster™ Premium benchtops are available in 304 Stainless Steel for a clean, professional look that will last a lifetime.

*KegMaster Premium Kegerators come with plugs for the holes on the benchtop, however Benchtop Guard Rails are an optional extra and can be purchased separately.

Setting the Calibration Factor on the KegMaster Kegerator Premium Kegerator

If your kegerator is freezing the chill plate on the inside with a thick layer or ice, it is recommended to set the calibration at -3 and see if the situation improves.

If the KegMaster™ is not cold enough, it is recommended to set it to +2 and see it the situation improves.

Press and hold both the “Cooler” and “Warmer” buttons for 5 seconds until the temperature display flashes SC.
Release those buttons and press the “°F/°C” button.
The display now shows the calibration factor, and you can change it with the “Cooler” and “Warmer” buttons.
Once it is at the desired value press the “°F/°C” button again to save it.

Must read

Ventilation: the fridge MUST have proper ventilation around itself in order to cool properly and to maximise its lifespan

Out of direct sunlight: the fridge MUST NOT be in direct sunlight
Class T: this fridge has been tested under the tropical climate conditions

For outdoors usage, we recommend our Kegmaster Solstice range.

FAQs

Keg King Kegerator Frequently Asked Questions

Below you will find the questions we get asked the most regarding our Keg King Kegerators.
Please click on one of the questions below to see the answer.

What is a Kegerator

A Kegerator, or Keg Fridge, is a fridge designed specifically to dispense your favourite beverage from various keg sizes via a drought system set up on top of the fridge. Yes, you can have a drought system at home and pour yourself icy cold drinks anytime you want in the comfort and safety of your own home.

What does FasTap mean?

FasTap means everything has been pre-assembled for you. If one of our packages mentions FasTap, it means we have done the hard work for you and you will only have to assemble the font beer tower to the fridge and the wheels under the fridge should you want to add them, that's it!.

I’ve just opened the box, what do I do now?

First, congratulate yourself on getting Keg King products. Next, follow the assembly instructions in the included manual or by scanning the QR code on your box. This will open the product page on our website where you will also find assembly instructions as a digital file How to setup your Keg King Kegerator.

How easy is it to use?

We’ve designed the FasTap range to be as user friendly as possible. If you haven’t set one up before it’s worth watching our YouTube video. Push in fittings and a pre-assembled font tower mean you can have the unit setup in about 15mins. Once setup, there isn’t anything easier than pulling the handle and having an ice cold beer whenever you like!

My tap is pouring foam, what do I do?

It is normal for the first pour to have a little more foam as the tap cools. If you’re in a warm climate and this is an issue you can pour 100ml or so and put it aside to settle. The tap will be cold now and pour a perfect beer. If you’re consistently getting too much froth, the beer may be too warm, there is an issue with the system, or the beer is over-carbonated. We have a comprehensive guide of fixing this here and also a good video guide here.

I don’t really like the look of the kegerator, does it come in different forms?

We have a range of keg fridges so suit your budget and situation. Our Super Deluxe range are commercial grade and considered the cream of the crop of Keg Fridges. Our KegMaster and KegMaster XL units are hugely popular and are the most cost effective way to get beer on tap. They are also a little quieter than commercial style fridges so great for the home. The Solstice fridge is in between these two, it can hold up to 6 kegs and is constructed of 304 stainless with a unique cassette for cooling in Aussie conditions up to 40C.

Do you have a beer tower that looks more like a bar one?

We have a range of font/tower options to suit the look you’re after. Our UltraT is a “T” shape similar to many bars, with the advantage of working well with air-cooling from a kegerator. Our modular fonts are a bit more industrial and are popular in many breweries, the also can be flooded with liquid if using with an icebank or our in house designed Thermentor King Max. We can even have towers custom made in stainless, copper, brass or gold the same as used in thousands of pubs around Australia. .

Are there any standard troubleshooting steps?

If you’re having trouble with your unit cooling, check out this guide here. If you’re having foaming issues, check here.

I like draught beer, where do I buy the keg from?

Kegs of beer can be purchased and delivered from companies like Kegs on Legs. There are also many Brew on Premises places around now where you can get a range of beers for a great price. Many breweries are now selling beer in our 10 or 20L King Keg. These are recyclable PET kegs, so you don’t need to pay a deposit. Check with your favourite local brewery if they offer these yet!

Can my kegerator be installed under a benchtop?

Mounting the fridge unit under a bar/bench is a popular option. You can then mount the font/tower on top and run the lines though, the font has a flange with 4 screw holes so it’s easy to mount. You’ll also need to seal where the lines run into the fridge, the easiest way to do this is with a Telescopic Font Adaptor.

If I install my kegerator in a cabinet, how much space do I need to leave around the fridge?

Our KegMaster and KegMaster XL dissipates heat from the sides of the unit so they need some ventilation. 100mm on the left and right is recommended but a minimum of 50mm is required. If you’re putting the unit behind a cabinet door, remember the warm air needs somewhere to rise and escape from, and cool air needs somewhere to enter down low too.

What kegerator is best suited for an alfresco, patio or outdoors area?

Regular house KegMaster Kegerators such as our Series XL work very well inside and are intended for inside use. Four outdoors use, you want to future proof yourself by installing one of our Solstice KegMasters. With a 12V DC power, it can run directly on solar panels making it the most environmentally friendly home bar on the market. Made of full stainless steel, it will look just as good built into your alfresco or patio as it will as a stand alone. For the ultimate set-up, don’t forget to add our Ultra T Font to look exactly like a bar!

Is it possible to have a bar at home?

We have the perfect inside home bar with our Series XL KegMaster Kegerator or the perfect outdoors home bar with our Solstice KegMaster Kegerator. We don’t just manufacture kegerator and home bars, we are providing the right equipment for your ideal home set up.

How to pour icy-cold schooners at home

I want to get into home brewing, what do I need?

Homebrewing has never been easier, all you will need is our Australian made Apollo fermenter, a gas cylinder & regulator and a keg! It’s that easy. For more information on our beginner set-up, click here.

What are the benefits of pressure fermenting?

Pressure fermenting helps reduce the production of undesirable esters in your brew which is the most common advantage for pressure fermenting. Other advantages include having beer already carbonated once fermentation is finished, doing easy oxygen free closed transfer to kegs or simply being able to use your fermenter both as a fermenting vessel and a serving vessel.

The easiest to use fermenters for new brewers are our Australian made Juniors, Chubby and the king of all, the Apollo 30L.

Where do I get my beer for my kegerator?

You can check with your local breweries otherwise in Melbourne that are quite a few breweries we work with and can recommend. If you are contacting your local breweries, we recommend to ask them for their 10L PET King Kegs.

Are you online only or can I visit the Keg King showroom?

We are not just online, we actually have a really nice showroom with our KegMaster kegerators where you can come down with your partners and family to find the perfect KegMaster for your home environment.

Do you provide quotes and calculate the freight?
