To organize beer dispensing from kegs at home is much easier than it seems at first glance. For maximum compactness and convenience, you can use devices that are called kegerators – filling systems based on conventional refrigerators with freezers. If you want to create a unique beer gadget, use your old fridge and turn it into a fully functional beer dispensing unit using the kegerator conversion kit available at Beverage Craft.

Kegerator: Features and Principle of Action
Kegerator is a convenient and effective device for beer connoisseurs, which serves to cool, maintain the temperature of beer in a keg, and conveniently pour it. In this system, a beer keg is installed in a refrigerator, which contains a gas tank with a reducer and all the rest of the piping necessary for dispensing beer.
The advantage of the system is that the beer keg remains chilled, and the beer retains its quality for a long time – up to 2-3 months. Therefore, the kegerator is suitable for storing and dispensing beers at home or in picnics.
DIY Kegerator Sets
The base for the kegerator is the refrigerator with a freezer. For choosing the right size, it is better to decide how many kegs you want to place in it. Depending on the required volume of beer, you can choose one tap, two tap, or three tap kegerator kits – everything for homebrewing fans and the true connoisseurs of this foamy drink.
