From a fridge to a draft dispenser.
Kegerators can be the ultimate investment for a beer drinker. Imagine having the taste of a draft beer right in your own home. But you don't have to just buy one. If you have the time on your hands, you can purchase a kegerator kit and build your own. Either way will seem worth it when you are enjoying a nice cold draft in your living room.
Bring the Taste of the Draft to the Home with Kegerators
Finally, what every beer lover has been in desperate need of. Kegerators have made it possible to enjoy the taste of beer as it was originally intended, ice cold, poured directly from a tap, and drawn in the comfort of your own home. In addition to the ease of access, keg beer costs half the price of cans and bottles.
Kegerators operate at a cool 38°F, keeping the beer at a tasty temperature. To measure the temperature of the contents of the keg, a cup of water can be placed inside the kegerator with a thermometer inside. Adjust the temperature as needed to keep the water at the perfect temperature for serving beer.
Kegerators incorporate several items when installing and using, especially when using a kegerator conversion kit. First needed, is a CO2 cartridge and regulator, a keg designed to fit nicely inside the kegerator, appropriate gas hoses, the keg coupler, and the draft tower. Remember when purchasing keg couplers to be careful as to the style of coupler bought, as certain couplers are needed for certain beers. For most of your domestic beers, such as Budweiser and Miller. Be sure to check with the keg vendor to find the correct coupler system.
The first step to installing kegerators is to connect the CO2 regulator to the CO2 canister. Be sure to follow the manufacturers instructions and only use the correct tools to perform the job. Afterwards you will want to attach the CO2 gas hose to the regulator nipple and secure it firmly with a clamp. Be sure everything is tight to avoid gas leaks. Afterwards attach the other end of the CO2 hose to the CO2 inlet nipple on the keg coupler and again, secure it firmly with a clamp. Once the hose is connected open the CO2 valve all the way to be sure to eliminate gas leaks. The pressure gage on the CO2 regulator should read around 750psi, or pressure per square inch. Adjust the pressure setting to a reading of 12psi, this accommodates most kegs excluding stout beers. There are several factors such as type of beer and altitude serving that can affect the amount of beer hose and psi settings. Be sure to check with an authorized representative for correct settings. After the CO2 is connected, open the valve and allow the gas to flow freely. Attach the beer line to the coupler. Place the coupler into the valve and lock it into place with a firm quarter clockwise turn. Once you have done this, the keg is tapped and you can run off the first few cups of foam that is built up by natural processes.
With the keg tapped and the beer flowing smoothly from the keg, it is time to sit back and enjoy the pleasures of enjoying quality tasting draft beer in the comfort of your own home. Invite friends over and enjoy the endless compliments and joyous times together, without the overpriced beer charges and rude patrons.
