After a night spent celebrating on New Year’s Eve, for many New Year’s Day is a day to sleep late, deal with a hangover from the night before and then spend the day watching college football. For those that enjoy a few beers along with football viewing, or are planning to have a get-together to continue the celebration on this day off (whether to watch football or simply relax), tapping the kegerator is a part of this first day of the year.

New Year’s Eve has always been a night to celebrate and rejoice – to ring out the old year and ring in the new one. This is one of the biggest nights of the year for parties and get-togethers, and therefore is a night that kegerators get put to good use.

While many people associate champagne with New Year’s Eve, the truth is that most people do not spend the night drinking champagne only. If they did, they’d probably have a wicked hangover the next day, not to mention the expense that the bubbly would wind up setting them back. Instead, most people spend the night enjoying their favorite drinks among friends, possibly making a champagne toast sometime around the stroke of midnight.

Christmas Eve. In popular songs, it’s a night filled with wonder and hope, excitement and anticipation. At least if you’re a kid. As a small child, you put on your new pair of jammies and hustle off to bed, awaiting the arrival of the jolly ol’ man himself and all the gifts that he brings. For some, sleep comes quickly, because they know that Santa can’t arrive until they are fast asleep. For others, the excitement of what is to come makes them toss and turn all night long.

Veterans Day, celebrated each year in the United States on November 11th, is a day to honor our nation’s military veterans. While it is not necessarily a gift-giving holiday, like Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day or Father’s Day maybe, there is no reason why you can’t make this year’s Veteran’s Day something extra-special by getting a gift for that special veteran in your life.

Show a veteran how much you appreciate their dedication and sacrifice for our great nation with an unexpected kegerator gift.

One of the great benefits of owning a kegerator is tinkering with and modifying it.  One of the most popular modifications is to add an additional tap or two.  To modify your kegerator to dispense additional beers, you will need to split your CO2 lines.  You will probably want more than one tap on hand, so your kegerator can dispense from sanke kegs, soda or Cornelius kegs, or whatever keg may appear at your doorstep.  Splitting your CO2 lines can be as simple as a t-joint or as complicated as a multi-tap regulator for dispensing different beers at different pressures.  We will look here at the kits and equipment currently available on the market and processes for modifying you kegerator for dispensing any kind of beer from commercial to home and craft brew.

Mini kegerators are a convenient way to enjoy draft beer at home, and many beer fans are joining the bandwagon. In our world of gadgets and gizmos, this invention is quite sellable. Most mini kegerators are designed to dispense from a new kind of five-liter beer keg, available at most supermarkets. While these mini kegs are easy to find, I have only seen them from Heiniken, although I hear that many other companies produce them. Mini kegerators are very portable, making them the perfect choice for weekend camping or boat trip, and also fit into any RV with little work, as some brands run on 12-volt power. Mini kegerators are about the size and weight of a microwave. They make a good gift idea for any die-hard beer fan.

Lagering beer can be problematical for home brewers, if they are not properly equipped.  The key is that, for home brewing, kegs and lagering go hand in hand with the handy home bar invention called the kegerator.  A kegerator can do two things at once – act as a lagering closet and serve beer. If you want a little more control with your lagering temperature, you may opt for a lagering closet or separate fridge or freezer conversion.
