Keep Your Beer Cool With A Haier HBF05EAVS Kegerator
Sunday, August 29th, 2010The word ‘kegerator’ is a bit of a weird one, isn’t it? So what does it mean?
There’s a chance you’ve heard of a kegerator by one of it’s more well known alternative names, like keg coolers and keg refrigerators. And this device has 2 main functions: to deliver draft beer from a keg while simultaneously keeping it chilled as well. One such example is the Haier hbf05eavs.
(It should come as little surprise then that kegerator came about from combining the terms ‘refrigerator’ and ‘keg’).
An excellent reason for using a kegerator, both at home or on a commercial level, is that they maintain the quality of a beer for such a long time. In fact, once a keg has been tapped, you can very often keep the beer for up to 2 months afterwards.
Perhaps you’re wondering what a kegerator actually looks like. Am I right?
For the most part, it doesn’t look all that different from a regular refrigerator, however a typical kegerator consists of an additional carbon dioxide tank to pump the beer, tubing to deliver it, and a beer dispenser with which to serve it.
You’ll find that units like the Haier hbf05eavs take functionality a stage further by including a fully adjustable thermostat and auto-defrost option too. As a result, it’s quick and easy to get the beer to the desired serving temperature.
While most kegerator parts will stay the same from country to country, there is one that changes – it’s called a “coupler”. These very often change depending on whether the beer you’re serving is sourced from America, the UK, Germany, or elsewhere in Europe.
Fortunately, when buying a keg refrigerator inside of the USA (or wherever you live worldwide), the kegerator will normally already have the correct coupler for where you’re situated. (Just so you know, US-based merchants and commerce stores selling a Haier keg cooler tend to provide a US Sankey ‘System D’ coupler, which is standard for American draft beer).
It’s possible to buy kegerators for both large-scale business and smaller-scale home usage, and they’re great for keeping a keg cool and serving high quality,great-tasting beer very easily.
