Enjoy Fresh Draft Beer at Home Anytime with a Beer Dispenser
June 28th, 2010Are you tired of always having to go out to a bar or restaurant for a couple of cold beers when you really just want to take it easy and loosen up in your own living room? Have you ever thought about how much money you spend when drinking out in public? Buying draft beer by the keg not only costs much less but the quality and experience increases as well. For example, a half barrel keg contains the same amount of beer as does 165 cans— try putting that many cans in your fridge or cooler for your next party! But space is not the only savings you get from a beer dispenser. Kegs are generally cleaned, refilled, and reused over and over again. While cans and bottles can be recycled and reused, this function is much more time and energy intensive than solely cleaning and refilling a keg. Did you know that the aluminum alone in the 165 cans weighs 5 pounds?!
Keep in mind that beer must remain between 38-40 degrees Fahrenheit for two reasons: for proper pouring and to maintain the freshness of the beer, as it is not pasteurized. A beer dispenser uses gas (usually CO2 or a blend of nitrogen and CO2) to push beer from the keg right out of the beer tap handles and into your glass. A small tank of CO2 attaches to a regulator, which reduces the pressure down to 10-12 psi. A five-pound tank of gas is usually enough for about 5-7 half kegs and is relatively inexpensive to refill. A hose goes from the beer tap handles to the keg. All beer tap handles have a screw or keyed fitting that hooks up to the keg and another hose that runs to the faucet where the beer is poured out.
One of the most common sizes of a Kegerator Beer Dispenser is designed to hold a pony keg. Some are bigger and some are smaller, depending on your needs and space. Having a beer fridge at home is a simple way to enjoy great beer without going anywhere, particularly if you want to invite a few friends over. A beer dispenser is the best way to enjoy your favorite draft beer just like you do at a tavern or restaurant, but much less expensively!
