Product review (5 stars): Thirsty No More
I was a little skeptical when I decided to purchase this, but read through the positive reviews and thought I'd give it a shot. The kegerator made the trip fine and was pretty easy to put together. I'm just going to say some things/give advice from what I've learned. Most of the pieces are already installed but as others said, make sure you get the rubber gasket/washer on the tower BEFORE you drop the beer line into the kegerator. I like my beer ice cold so I knew I'd be adjusting the thermostat manually (as others said). This was very easy, and only required two phillips head screwdrivers (Normal, and very small). I did a turn and a half and it's perfect for me.

If you haven't read: Unplug kegerator! Pull off the knob on the thermostat, remove the 4 screws (2 on thermostat, 2 on side of kegerator)remove the thermostat from it's case to where you can see the tiny screw on top. 1 turn (or 1 1/2 for REALLY cold)clockwise, put it back together, and you're good to go. I don't know if I'd go much further than that though unless you're watching the temperature closely.

I had a small leak in my beer tap to beer line on the butterfly nut. I got tired of messing with it my first pony and put a towel to collect any leakage. Well, that small leak added up to a couple of beers by the end of the week. So I went to Lowes and purchased some Blue Monster 1/2 inch thread tape (plumbing section)and did 4 wraps around the male threads on the keg tap. Problem solved. It might be a good idea to just go ahead and do that with all threads (co2 & beer) while your putting it together to avoid any potential leaks in the future and save you some trouble.

It took some time adjusting the co2 to the 'perfect' pressure. I've decided on 8 but I have had to turn it up to 10 when I had people over and beers were going quicker. Keep in mind it'll take a while to "settle" in, make small changes and give it some time to adjust. I would advise you to start at 8 and work your way up if you have to.

It will not fit rubberized(miller) and oversized(coors) kegs. I ordered a miller lite pony(not thinking, because I already knew) but since it was there I figured I could shimmy it in somehow. You can't.

Overall, I am super satisfied and would recommend this product to any of my friends(with proper adjusting). I'm through with my first pony and I think I've officially got all the kinks worked out. Time to graduate to a 1/2 barrel! Cheers, beers, and Mountaineers!
