Kegerator is a residential draft (draught) beer dispensing device. A keg, typically of beer, is stored in a refrigerated container in order to keep the keg chilled. The user is able to maintain a tapped keg in such a device for extended periods of time, usually a couple of months, without losing any quality in the taste of the beer. A kegerator may be purchased in its finished form or built from a re-purposed refrigerator or a freezer with special equipment. ==Components== * Stainless steel keg * CO2 cylinder * CO2 pressure regulator, with inlet and outlet pressure gauges * Coupler * Beer and air Line * Tap * Tower * Drip tray * Faucet * Faucet handle A crucial part of a kegerator is the coupler, the component that allows hoses to be quickly connected to and disconnected from the keg. Beverage dispensing devices have many standards for couplers: * System D (U.S. Sankey) — standard for American beer * System S (European Sankey) — common for European beer * System U — used for stout and ale by a few breweries in UK/Ireland (Guinness) * System G — used by some breweries in UK/Ireland, and in the United States by Anchor Brewing * System A — chiefly used by breweries in Germany * System M — used by some German breweries (Schneider) * Pin and ball lock home brew keg taps — designed to work with Cornelius kegs. The D, S, U and G couplers are secured by twisting them in place (like a screw). The A-coupler is often called a "slide coupler", because unlike the other couplers it slides in place and can be secured at any angle. The M-coupler is also a slide coupler. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「kegerator」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
