The Right Beer Dispensers Keep Your Spirits High

Ben Franklin said, “Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.”

 

The noted American polymath knew what he was saying.

 

People like to eat, drink, play, speak with friends, and feel love and affection. Problems arise when they are deprived and hungry for appetitive satisfaction.

 

Social instincts keep people rigid. A tight rein over your behavior discourages you from doing a lot of things that offend, hurt, or harm others; however, you need to free yourself once in a while, give in to your artistic expressions, explore, be inventive, and experiment.

 

In short, to come out of this rigidity, you take recourse to beer dispensers and consume the third most popular drink in the world, after water and tea.

 

Plato said, “He was a wise man who invented beer.”

 

That was way back. Today, wise men invent beer accessories and beer dispensers.

 

If you want to have a beer dispensing system that will get you accolades from your buddies, there is no other way than to have a kegerator at home.

 

More importantly, you need something that preserves the distinct texture, taste, and overall quality of this evergreen favorite beverage. You definitely need a Beer Keg Dispenser, or now commonly called a kegerator.

 

What is a kegerator?

 

A kegerator is a refrigerator, drill, tap, faucet, carbon dioxide tank, and regulator, all rolled into one system.

 

It is a great dispenser, especially if you can improvise your own; however, sadly it is not easy.

 

Many a times, when you set up a draft beer system, “smooth” and “efficient” dispensing goes out the window. What you see is beer flying out of the tap like foam from a fire extinguisher.

 

You never see such things happening in bars and brewpubs. What is it that goes wrong in your home system?

 

The perfect draft system can be explained in a simple sentence. A system that delivers beer at the right temperature, properly carbonated, and with the optimum flow rate that allows you to get as much head into the glass as you want to.

 

Leave aside the technicalities and focus on the three different types of beer dispensers:

 

1. Direct draw

 

This is the most common type. This system is best suited when the keg of beer is located within a short distance of the beer dispensing faucet. You typically get two types, self-contained stationary dispensing or wall-mounted direct draw.

 

2. Air cooled system

 

Here, single or double insulated air ducts aided by a large blower fan maintain the right beer temperature from the keg to the faucet. Such an arrangement is effective for systems no more than 8 meters (25 feet) in length.

 

3. Glycol cooled system

 

This system is suitable for lines up to 500 feet. Units in this system are a cooler to store kegs, an insulated trunk line through which beer runs, a power pack that refrigerates the trunk line, the gas system that maintains the beer’s natural carbonization, and lastly, an important one among beer accessories, the draft beer tower.

 

With a glass of good beer in your hand, you are never ruffled. Someone rightly said, “Let me finish my beer. The end of the world can wait.”
