If you have a kegerator, you do not need a "door conversion kit". The door conversion kit is used to transform a refrigerator into a kegerator.

Here is what you need:

These items available from Micro Matic.
JESF-4 Stout Faucet
G408 U System Keg Coupler
75% Nitrogen/25% CO2 gas blend (commonly called "G gas" or "beer gas")

The Stout Faucet should fit the existing tower on your kegerator. The required pressure for the Guinness is 30 - 35 psig. This higher pressure is required because of the restrictor valve inside the black nozzle on the stout faucet.

Temperature is a personal thing for Guinness. I like mine a little warmer, around 40 - 42 degrees, but remember to turn down the temperature of your kegerator when and if you switch back to ales and lagers. Must keep in mind that American keg beers are NOT pasturized and will go bad if not kept under 40 degrees.
