Kegerator

Kegerators may have cost benefits that make them a viable choice over canned or bottled beer.

Pre-configured kegerators are designed with this in mind and install the compressor in a manner that allows plenty of room.

Conversion kits are configured to either dispense through the door of the fridge or through the top into a draft beer tower.

Installation[8] requires tools, such as a socket wrench set, screwdriver, and a drill with a hole saw bit to modify the refrigerator.

You can also convert a top opening chest freezer into a beer dispenser (sometimes called a keezer) with the use of a thermostat control unit.

Kegerators are generally designed for use with beer kegs, but they are gaining popularity for dispensing other types of drinks, most notably wine, cold-brewed coffee, kombucha, and soda.

These types of drinks also require all stainless steel contact with the dispense system fittings because the higher acid content can corrode the chrome-plated brass normally found in dispense systems.

In many larger cities, coffee houses and wineries are offering their products in commercial kegs for use in a kegerator.

[10] For a properly stored keg in a kegerator, beverage freshness depends on the style of beer.
