A kegerator is a type of refrigerator that has been made or modified to hold one or more kegs of draft beer. Far more advanced than a bucket full of ice, a kegerator will keep a keg of beer at an even cool temperature until the last drop, allowing you to store your beer for up to two months without losing the fresh draft taste. If you are considering buying a kegerator, there are a few things you should consider first.
Instructions
1. Decide whether you would like to purchase a ready-to-use kegerator, or if you would like to purchase a kegerator kit and modify an existing refrigerator. Virtually any working refrigerator that can hold a keg of beer can be transformed into a kegerator with the taps outside the door. Kits are far less expensive than pre-made kegerators; however, assembly does require time, patience and expertise.
2. Assess your needs to choose the right size kegerator. If you are purchasing a kegerator for personal use only, you may not need more than a small mini-fridge size to hold your pony keg of beer. For commercial use, kegerators are available that hold up to five full-sized kegs of beer.
3. Select an upright refrigerator style kegerator or a hidden under the counter style kegerator. Decide where you would like to place your kegerator before shopping. Take measurements of your space to ensure a proper fit. For difficult spaces, some manufacturers will custom build a kegerator to your specific needs.
4. Match your home decor when purchasing your new kegerator. Available in virtually any color and even in stainless steel, your kegerator is functional, but it can also be decorative. Not only can you select from a wide array of colors, you can customize your kegerator tap handles as well as the beer tower.
5. Purchase your kegerator with or without a tapping kit. Tapping kits are available in both single and double configurations; however, it is up to you, the buyer, to select the proper kit and couplers for your keg.
