Different Keg Types

When setting up a kegerator system at home, it is important to understand the differences between the two main types of keg on the market.

The different kegs require different gas and beer line fittings inside the kegerator. Other components of the kegerator (taps, font etc) are interchangeable. The way in which the beer line and gas line is attached to the keg is the main point of difference.

We divide kegerators into two types: Commercial (Brewery Made) Kegerator setups and Homebrew Kegerator setups. Kegs in both types are available in multiple sizes.

It is possible to mix and match keg styles in the one kegerator, provided the kegs are small enough to fit. Simply use the correct connection (coupler or ball lock disconnects) on ach beer and gas line to allow this.

For example, you may wish to have a TALOS keg of craft beer on tap, as well as on demand soda water in a 19L keg. In that case, one beer/gas line would be terminated with an A Type Coupler, and the other would have a gas and a liquid ball lock disconnect.
