What Is A Kegerator?

A Kegerator is a beer dispensing device used in many homes. It holds a keg of beer, and is stored in a refrigerated unit to keep the keg chilled. The user can tap the keg and have it keep for a couple of months without losing the taste or quality of the beer. Many kegerators are purchased new and are ready you use right away as it includes all the necessary parts and equipment needed to operate.
Did you know that The term "Kegerator" is a combination of the words keg and refrigerator? I thought you might know that.
A Kegerator Conversion Kit is a process that turns a regular refrigerator into a beer dispensing unit just like a kegerator. Many folks simply buy a used or older refrigerator. The obvious reason is that they can also hold more "Beer" cooling space. Keg kits cost less and are economical. Kegerator Kits are most commonly made with a door mounted spout or close to the kit. I know a guy who had it running from his basement to the first floor through a hole between the joists. It was convenient and it worked great!. With a few tools and all the accessories they are pretty easy to convert!
