FAQ about Kegerators
Q: What is a kegerator?
A: A kegerator, a portmanteau of the words "keg" and "refrigerator," is a refrigerator that has been designed or altered to store and dispense from kegs. If you're looking for more refrigeration solutions, check out refrigerators.
Q: How does a kegerator work?
A: A kegerator uses a refrigeration system to maintain the temperature of the keg, and a CO2 tank to pressurize the keg and push the liquid through the faucet or tap. When you pull the tap handle, the beer flows out.
Q: What sizes of kegs can a kegerator accommodate?
A: Kegerators can typically accommodate standard keg sizes such as:
- Full-size keg (half-barrel, 15.5 gallons)
- Pony keg (quarter-barrel, 7.75 gallons)
- Sixth-barrel keg (5.16 gallons)
- Mini-keg (1.32 gallons)
Make sure to check the kegerator's specifications to ensure compatibility with the keg size you want to use.
Q: Can a kegerator be used for drinks other than beer?
A: Yes, kegerators can be used for beverages other than beer, such as cider, wine, cold brew coffee, or even soda, as long as the beverage is compatible with the system. For commercial beverage appliances, consider looking into ice makers.
Q: How long will beer stay fresh in a kegerator?
A: Once tapped, beer typically stays fresh for 2-3 weeks, depending on the type of beer and how well the kegerator is maintained. Using a CO2 system helps preserve the beer’s freshness by preventing oxidation. For more on keeping drinks cold, check out coolers.
Q: What is the difference between a kegerator and a draft beer system?
A: A kegerator is a compact refrigerator used for storing and dispensing beer, while a draft beer system typically refers to a more extensive setup that might include a refrigeration unit, taps, CO2 systems, and other equipment, often designed for commercial use.
Q: How do I clean my kegerator?
A: Regular cleaning of the kegerator is essential for maintaining the quality of your beer and preventing contamination. Clean the beer lines, faucets, CO2 tank, and keg coupler at least once every two weeks or more frequently depending on usage.
Q: What type of CO2 tank do I need for my kegerator?
A: Kegerators typically require a 5lb or 10lb CO2 tank to pressurize the keg and push the beer through the tap. The tank size needed depends on how frequently you use your kegerator.
Q: How do I know if my kegerator is at the right temperature?
A: Most kegerators come with a built-in thermostat. The ideal temperature for beer is between 36°F and 38°F (2°C to 3°C). Check your kegerator's thermometer or use an external one for more accuracy.
Q: Can I install a kegerator outdoors?
A: While some kegerators are designed for outdoor use, most are intended for indoor use only. Outdoor kegerators should be equipped with proper insulation and moisture protection to prevent damage from the elements.
Q: How do I install a kegerator?
A: Installing a kegerator generally involves connecting the CO2 tank to the keg, installing the faucet and tap, and adjusting the temperature. Specific instructions vary depending on the model, but most kegerators come with step-by-step guides to make the setup process straightforward.
Q: Can I have more than one tap on a kegerator?
A: Yes, some kegerators allow you to install multiple taps, enabling you to serve different types of beverages simultaneously. You’ll need additional components such as a multi-tap tower or extra CO2 regulators.
Q: Are there any safety concerns with using a kegerator?
A: As with any appliance that involves pressurized gas (CO2), it’s important to follow safety guidelines when using and maintaining a kegerator. Be cautious when handling the CO2 tank and always check for leaks in the gas lines.
Q: Can a kegerator save money in the long run?
A: Yes, a kegerator can save money over time by buying beer in bulk kegs rather than individual bottles or cans. Additionally, it reduces waste from packaging. However, the upfront cost of purchasing a kegerator and kegs should be considered.
Q: How much does a kegerator weigh?
A: The weight of a kegerator depends on the manufacturer and the size of the unit. Standard kegerators designed to hold a single half keg can weigh about 80-120 lbs, while slim units weigh about 60-80 lbs.
Q: How much is a kegerator?
A: The cost of a kegerator or refrigeration unit ranges from $1,500 to $5,000 depending on capacity. Be sure to check whether items like the dispense tower and drip tray are included in the purchase. If you are looking for other appliances, visit this link for more.
