Hard Rated Kegerator Bundle

What is a Kegerator

A Kegerator, or Keg Fridge, is a fridge designed specifically to dispense your favourite beverage from various keg sizes via a drought system set up on top of the fridge. Yes, you can have a drought system at home and pour yourself icy cold drinks anytime you want in the comfort and safety of your own home.

What does FasTap mean?

FasTap means everything has been pre-assembled for you. If one of our packages mentions FasTap, it means we have done the hard work for you and you will only have to assemble the font beer tower to the fridge and the wheels under the fridge should you want to add them, that's it!.

I’ve just opened the box, what do I do now?

First, congratulate yourself on getting Keg King products. Next, follow the assembly instructions in the included manual or by scanning the QR code on your box. This will open the product page on our website where you will also find assembly instructions as a digital file How to setup your Keg King Kegerator.

How easy is it to use?

We’ve designed the FasTap range to be as user friendly as possible. If you haven’t set one up before it’s worth watching our YouTube video. Push in fittings and a pre-assembled font tower mean you can have the unit setup in about 15mins. Once setup, there isn’t anything easier than pulling the handle and having an ice cold beer whenever you like!

My tap is pouring foam, what do I do?

It is normal for the first pour to have a little more foam as the tap cools. If you’re in a warm climate and this is an issue you can pour 100ml or so and put it aside to settle. The tap will be cold now and pour a perfect beer. If you’re consistently getting too much froth, the beer may be too warm, there is an issue with the system, or the beer is over-carbonated. We have a comprehensive guide of fixing this here and also a good video guide here.

I don’t really like the look of the kegerator, does it come in different forms?

We have a range of keg fridges so suit your budget and situation. Our Super Deluxe range are commercial grade and considered the cream of the crop of Keg Fridges. Our KegMaster and KegMaster XL units are hugely popular and are the most cost effective way to get beer on tap. They are also a little quieter than commercial style fridges so great for the home. The Solstice fridge is in between these two, it can hold up to 6 kegs and is constructed of 304 stainless with a unique cassette for cooling in Aussie conditions up to 40C.

Do you have a beer tower that looks more like a bar one?

We have a range of font/tower options to suit the look you’re after. Our UltraT is a “T” shape similar to many bars, with the advantage of working well with air-cooling from a kegerator. Our modular fonts are a bit more industrial and are popular in many breweries, the also can be flooded with liquid if using with an icebank or our in house designed Thermentor King Max. We can even have towers custom made in stainless, copper, brass or gold the same as used in thousands of pubs around Australia. .

Are there any standard troubleshooting steps?

If you’re having trouble with your unit cooling, check out this guide here. If you’re having foaming issues, check here.

I like draught beer, where do I buy the keg from?

Kegs of beer can be purchased and delivered from companies like Kegs on Legs. There are also many Brew on Premises places around now where you can get a range of beers for a great price. Many breweries are now selling beer in our 10 or 20L King Keg. These are recyclable PET kegs, so you don’t need to pay a deposit. Check with your favourite local brewery if they offer these yet!

Can my kegerator be installed under a benchtop?

Mounting the fridge unit under a bar/bench is a popular option. You can then mount the font/tower on top and run the lines though, the font has a flange with 4 screw holes so it’s easy to mount. You’ll also need to seal where the lines run into the fridge, the easiest way to do this is with a Telescopic Font Adaptor.

If I install my kegerator in a cabinet, how much space do I need to leave around the fridge?

Our KegMaster and KegMaster XL dissipates heat from the sides of the unit so they need some ventilation. 100mm on the left and right is recommended but a minimum of 50mm is required. If you’re putting the unit behind a cabinet door, remember the warm air needs somewhere to rise and escape from, and cool air needs somewhere to enter down low too.

What kegerator is best suited for an alfresco, patio or outdoors area?

Regular house KegMaster Kegerators such as our Series XL work very well inside and are intended for inside use. Four outdoors use, you want to future proof yourself by installing one of our Solstice KegMasters. With a 12V DC power, it can run directly on solar panels making it the most environmentally friendly home bar on the market. Made of full stainless steel, it will look just as good built into your alfresco or patio as it will as a stand alone. For the ultimate set-up, don’t forget to add our Ultra T Font to look exactly like a bar!

What are the benefits of pressure fermenting?

Pressure fermenting helps reduce the production of undesirable esters in your brew which is the most common advantage for pressure fermenting. Other advantages include having beer already carbonated once fermentation is finished, doing easy oxygen free closed transfer to kegs or simply being able to use your fermenter both as a fermenting vessel and a serving vessel.

The easiest to use fermenters for new brewers are our Australian made Juniors, Chubby and the king of all, the Apollo 30L.
