Buying guide
AMD 24-inch Kegerator
AMD’s No Tap cabinet, the right tap kit and the details that turn a purchase into a working draft setup.
Start with the whole setup
The cabinet is the beginning of your draft system.
The AMD 24-inch Outdoor Rated Kegerator sold here is the No Tap appliance. It gives you the refrigerated cabinet; the AMD Single Keg Tap Kit or Double Keg Tap Kit is a separate purchase. Choose the tap kit alongside the cabinet so the installed setup you have in mind matches the equipment you order.
Next, confirm the actual keg, its connection and the CO₂ supply. A double tap adds a second serving line. It does not establish that two particular kegs will fit inside. Those are separate decisions, and both need to work before this becomes a useful addition to your outdoor kitchen.
One tap: one beer on offer.
Start here when your normal gathering revolves around one keg. You still need to confirm its dimensions and connection, but you are not buying a second line simply because it is available.
Two taps: a choice at the same gathering.
The second line earns its place when you regularly want two beers on offer. First confirm the keg combination, couplers and room for the gas equipment. Two faucets alone do not answer those fit questions.
See the setup
One cabinet. Two ways to serve.
AMD lists a 6.6-cubic-foot cabinet and a 32°F–50°F temperature setting range. The electronic controller lets you adjust the cabinet for the beer you are serving. That range is not a universal serving recommendation: start with the keg supplier’s guidance for the specific beer and draft arrangement.
Keep the tower close to the cabinet. The operating manual specifically warns against mounting it remotely because exposed beer line is not refrigerated and can lead to foaming. A long line routed across the island may look convenient on a drawing, but this appliance is not a documented remote-tower cooling system. Solve that detail before cutting the countertop.
Choose the kit
Buy the second tap for a second beer.
| Decision | Single Keg Tap Kit | Double Keg Tap Kit |
|---|---|---|
| Serving arrangement | One tap | Two taps |
| Included in the tap kit | Tap tray, single hose and CO₂ kit with tank and regulator | Tap tray, two hoses and CO₂ kit with tank and regulator |
| Cabinet purchase | AMD No Tap Kegerator, separate | The same AMD No Tap Kegerator, separate |
| Before ordering | Confirm your keg, coupler and CO₂ filling arrangements | Confirm both kegs, their couplers, gas arrangement and combined fit |
AMD identifies both kits for this cabinet. Each kit includes a CO₂ tank and regulator. Have us confirm the current package and whether its connection suits your brewery’s keg before ordering. Confirm the CO₂ fill or exchange arrangements with a suitable local gas supplier.
The cabinet’s volume is not a measured keg layout. Give us the keg’s diameter and height, allowing for the coupler and hose above it. For two taps, check both kegs together with the CO₂ equipment and interior shelf arrangement. Do not assume that a two-tap tower means two full-size kegs.
From boxes to first pour
From equipment to first pour.
Make the package fit your keg.
The manual illustrates the tank, regulator, coupler, tower, hoses, drip tray and mounting hardware for its single-tap assembly. Use that illustration as a conversation about the actual package, rather than assuming that every keg uses the pictured coupler.
The keg and beer are separate. Confirm the CO₂ fill or exchange, any connection needed for your chosen keg, and the installation work before calling the budget complete. Have those details settled before scheduling the installation.
For the equipment budget, add the live appliance price below to the live price of your chosen tap kit. Allow separately for any required trim, countertop work, electrical work, gas filling and keg costs. We show the cabinet and kits individually so you can see what you are choosing, rather than presenting the No Tap appliance price as the cost of a complete first pour.
The Hearth Outpost view
Build around the beer you will actually keep.
We like this AMD setup for an outdoor kitchen where draft beer will be a regular part of hosting. The choice between one and two taps should follow that routine. If you usually keep one keg, spend the planning effort on getting its fit, connection and placement right. The second faucet adds little if it rarely has a second beer behind it.
If your gatherings regularly call for two choices, the Double Keg Tap Kit has a clearer purpose. Our first question would be which two kegs you intend to buy—not which tower looks better. Confirming that combination can prevent a much more expensive mistake than choosing the wrong number of faucets.
The front ventilation, reversible door and outdoor-rated stainless-steel cabinet help it fit into an island plan. They do not remove the need for a suitable environment, access for servicing or an appropriate draft-system installation. Review the cabinet, tower position and actual keg arrangement together, before any countertop holes are made.
Plan the island
The tower position matters as much as the opening.
The kegerator manual covers the No Tap, single-tap and double-tap arrangements. It calls for an ambient location between 50°F and 109.4°F, away from direct sun, heat-producing appliances and damp areas. Keep the front ventilation unobstructed and the appliance level on a surface that can support it fully loaded.
Have the installer verify the exact cabinet drawing, countertop thickness, tower mounting position and any matching trim kit before construction. The current cutout sheet separates the deluxe kegerator opening from AMD’s wine-cooler openings. “24-inch” is a nominal width, not a promise that an existing refrigerator opening will accept this cabinet.
The manual says to keep the tower as close as possible to the cabinet top and seal the openings around the lines. Plan door movement, keg loading and access to the gas equipment as well as the finished front view. Check the actual electrical data plate and have a qualified installer provide the grounded, GFI-protected connection required by the instructions.
After transport, let the unit stand upright for approximately 24 hours before connecting power. The manual calls for cooling the appliance for three to four hours before installing a keg, and for the keg to be completely cooled before use. That initial cabinet cooldown is not a promise that a warm keg will be ready to pour in the same time.
Follow the keg, gas-equipment and appliance instructions for setup and maintenance. Serving pressure depends on the actual draft arrangement; a regulator example in an assembly illustration is not a universal setting for every beer. Confirm cleaning requirements with the equipment and keg supplier before making this part of your hosting routine.

Ownership support
Three years on the sealed refrigeration system.
AMD’s 2026 refrigeration warranty schedule provides three-year replacement coverage on the sealed refrigeration system and one year on specified lighting, wiring and electrical components. The cooling-system term is a useful ownership benefit for this cabinet; it is not a lifetime warranty on the whole draft system.
- Sealed system
- 3 years
- Listed electrical
- 1 year
- Warranty remedy
- Parts
The written remedy is replacement parts, with labor and related costs excluded. Coverage is subject to the original-purchaser and original-site conditions, registration within thirty days, proof and photo documentation, maintenance requirements and the full exclusions. Ask about the tap kit’s applicable terms separately; the cabinet’s sealed-system warranty should not be extended to every draft component by assumption.

Good questions
Before the first keg arrives.
Does the No Tap Kegerator include a tower?
No. The No Tap appliance is the refrigerated cabinet. The AMD Single Keg Tap Kit or Double Keg Tap Kit is a separate purchase.
Does a double tap mean two full-size kegs fit?
No verified keg combination is established by the number of faucets. Confirm both actual keg dimensions, couplers, hose clearance and space for the CO₂ equipment.
Do the kits include a CO₂ tank and regulator?
AMD’s published kit lists include a CO₂ kit with tank and regulator. Confirm whether a fill or exchange is needed and that the current package suits your keg connection.
Can the tower be mounted at the other end of the island?
The manual warns against remote mounting because exposed beer line is not refrigerated and can cause foaming. Keep the tower close to the cabinet as instructed.
Is the appliance price the complete first-pour cost?
No. Add your chosen tap kit and account for the keg, any CO₂ fill, fitment needs and installation work. The shopping cards show current individual equipment prices.
