Richard Bergendi Home Beer Tap 5 Litre Cooling Draught Beer Pump Dispenser with Free Plastic Keg Growler

Product Information

How a beer dispenser works obviously depends on the design and model of your machine but it'll involve pressure in some way to force the beer out. The kegs for this machine are 2 litres - which is around 3.5 pints - so you don't need to be throwing a huge party to justify firing it up.

Carbonation brings beer to life, and CO2 (carbon dioxide) is the heart of this process. Managing CO2 is about more than just keeping the beer fizzy; it’s about ensuring consistent quality and taste. Proper Carbonation Levels Anyone who’s poured beer knows that spills can and do happen. Integrated drip trays are thus a practical feature. They catch any accidental overflows or drips, preventing messy puddles and potential damage to the flooring. For ease of maintenance, look for removable trays that can be cleaned separately.

The SUB beer tap - 2L Capacity

Value for money: we assessed whether the performance, ease of use and additional functionality justified the price. We also tested beer dispensers at a variety of prices to see if it was necessary to spend more money. It'll take a while to get your canisters to the correct pressure and to cool your beer, but the process doesn't require a lot of input from you. What is the best home beer dispenser?

Pull the perfect pint at home with an adjustable CO2 gas control and built in cooling system to chill kegs between 3 and 6 degrees. The machine was heavy, and we couldn’t lift the box on our own. It’s quite plain looking but we liked that you could customise the beer pump with a selection of badges. The PerfectDraft and Krups The Sub machines have an internal pump for example that pumps out the beer from your keg so it doesn't need any CO2 capsules.Materials: Stainless steel is a popular choice for many premium beer keg dispensers. Not only does it provide a sleek, modern appearance, but it is also resistant to corrosion, ensuring the unit remains free from rust and maintains its polished look over the years. Some models may use other metals or even high-grade plastics, but the key is to ensure the materials are durable and suitable for prolonged exposure to moisture, given the kegerator’s refrigeration function. Beer kegs come in a plethora of sizes to cater to different needs, but the following are the most common:

Coming in at around the same size as a coffee machine, the Fizzics device took less than a minute to get set up and didn’t take over our entire kitchen worktop. While some beer enthusiasts might set up their kegerator in a dedicated spot, for others, the ability to move the unit around can be of utmost importance. Ah, the great British pastime of enjoying a pint with friends. But in an age where we increasingly value home conveniences, many beer aficionados are turning their lounges and gardens into miniature pubs by getting themselves a beer keg dispenser. This allows them to serve and enjoy a perfectly chilled pint right at home.Larger kegerators can be a challenge to move around. If you’re short on space or wish to transport your unit between locations (for instance, between a house and a holiday cabin), a smaller, more portable model might be more practical. Aesthetics and Design Ciders: Though not a beer, many beer dispensers also accommodate ciders, which are fermented from apple juice. A kegerator’s tap is more than just a functional component—it’s a gateway to the beer experience. The number of taps can significantly influence this experience. The instructions were the most confusing of the ones we tested though, as some of the diagrams were a bit difficult to understand.

Tank Sizes: Common sizes range from 2.5 pounds to 20 pounds, with larger tanks lasting longer but also taking up more space.Complete with a removable drip dray to help prevent spills; this home draught machine is perfect for drinks any social occasion. Seals and Insulation: The efficiency of a kegerator significantly depends on its insulation. A well-insulated unit maintains the desired temperature more effectively, leading to energy savings. Furthermore, the quality of seals around the door or lid is paramount. A poor seal can allow cold air to escape, making the refrigeration unit work harder and potentially shortening its lifespan. The larger PerfectDraft or BLADE systems are more expensive, reflecting the larger six and eight-litre kegs they dispense, respectively. How to set up a beer pump at home
