What is draft beer?

Draft beer is a recognized form of fresh and flavorful beer on tap from a kegerator system. In most cases, this form of beer is served at bars or restaurants as a flavorful and inexpensive beer.  However, you can enjoy the same experience at home with a residential kegerator.

How do kegerators or beer dispensers affect the storage temperature?

Temperature is a crucial determinant of the taste of draft beer.  Constant temperature is the most important element in beer storage.  A kegerator keeps beer chilled at proper beer storage temperature, allowing you to keep beer for extended periods of time without losing quality or freshness. Because you usually only open the kegerator door when loading or unloading a keg, the temperature also remains more consistent than in a standard refrigerator that may experience more fluctuations with more activity.

What Is The Right Place for my Kegerator?

 To ensure that your beer dispenser works at the maximum efficiency it was designed for, install it in a location where there is proper air circulation and electrical connections. Choose a location where the beer dispenser will be away from heat and will not be exposed to direct sunlight.  If your kegerator is a freestanding unit and not made for built in use, it must have adequate clearance space of 4 inches on all sides to function properly. Always consult your user manual to ensure you have left enough clearance.

How long should I wait before using my Kegerator?

After turning your kegerator on, you should ideally wait at least 24 hours for the unit to cool properly. You may then adjust the temperature setting based on your preferences.

How Do Kegerators Help Achieve the Perfect Pour?

Kegerators have multiple advantages over the plain beer keg. Not only do they keep your beer cool for several months, they also contain a mounted faucet to aid in pouring.
