Setting up a Remote-Controlled Kegerator Temperature Controller

by Kegerators.com

A Kegerator's temperature is a key ingredient for many home brewers. The real benefit for the brewer to maintain a constant Kegerator temperature is "better control while carbonating and dispensing". Also, perfectly carbonated cold draft beer out of a Kegerator just tastes better.

Call Your Kegerator
Home Brewers spend countless hours testing and perfecting their recipes and most often the final resting place for keg conditioning is in a Kegerator. The big question is "do commercial and homemade kegerators maintain constant temperatures suitable for keg conditioning and carbonation?"

The answer is yes with a little bit of monitoring. To put full faith into a kegerator's temperature control can be risky, but with a few modifications you can monitor your kegerator's temperatures remotely and make adjustments if need be.

A new device coming soon called KegConnect® allows you to remotely call your Kegerator and receive the current temperature, set a new temperature, record a personalized friendly Kegerator greeting, receive text message alerts of your kegerator's temperature and online access to interface with your Kegerator.

KegConnect® easily installs between your Kegerator's temperature controller and power supply. Plug a phone line into the device, record a greeting and you are ready to start monitoring your kegerator's temperature remotely. (Detailed instruction on constructing your own remote-controlled kegerator temperature controller is coming soon, to www.Kegerators.com.)
