Kegerator Upgrades | Level Up Looks and Performance

Share With:

Once you have a kegerator, you never want to live again without a kegerator. Just about every customer we've ever had at Keg King feels the same way. 

Kegerator ownership is one of the best ways to enjoy beverages on tap in your own home, café, bar, shed, pub, living space, alfresco area or where ever you want to pour drinks. It's a simple pleasure that thrills every pour because it doesn't matter if you're pouring soda water or mixed cocktails, beer wine sodas kombucha and more, everyone like pulling the handle on their favourite drink.

From the very first domestic kegerators to commercial kegerators and even today's modern compact yet spacious keg fridges there is always a reason to upgrade your equipment. You may want to add more beverages because you have the space so you need more taps. Perhaps the tap equipment you're using has been eclipsed by higher performing draft equipment or maybe you want to take advantage of the new ability to track your dispensing through an app. Heaps of customers also have a desire to change the entire look of their draft systems to get a better visual appeal than a stand alone kegerator system. There's plenty of great reasons and there's plenty of excellent ways to upgrade your kegerator from boring to beautiful and this list can help you choose the products that will help you to lift your kegerator game. 

ADD MORE TAPS! The Ultimate Kegerator Upgrade Guide
If you already have a keg setup at home, you've probably discovered an important truth:
One tap is never enough.
Adding more taps to your kegerator isn't just about having more beer available. A multi-tap kegerator gives you more choice, creates a better entertaining experience and opens up a whole new level of customisation for your home bar.
From sleek black beer taps and modern beer towers to flooded fonts, flow-control taps, cooling systems and smart keg monitoring, Keg King has the equipment to help you build a beer dispensing system around the way you actually drink and entertain.
Whether you're upgrading an existing kegerator or designing a complete home bar from scratch, here are three ways to take your setup further.

VISUAL APPEAL: Make Your Kegerator a Feature
Your beer taps are one of the most visible parts of your kegerator or home bar.
So why not make them look the part?
Keg King's range of beer fonts and towers gives you plenty of options for creating everything from a simple two-tap setup through to a substantial multi-tap beer dispensing system. The current range includes modular fonts with two, three, four, five and six taps, as well as column, T-bar and flooded-font designs.
Black taps are an easy way to give your kegerator a more contemporary appearance.
They work particularly well with stainless steel, dark cabinetry and modern home-bar designs. Keg King's current range includes Shadow Black font and tap configurations, allowing you to create a more coordinated look across your dispensing system.
Internal link opportunity: Link the words black beer taps to the relevant tap collection/product category.
Want your kegerator to become a genuine centrepiece?
The Tower King Shadow Black Flooded Fastap Single Font combines a distinctive geometric tower design with a black brushed 304 stainless-steel finish. Keg King describes the design as a modern alternative to traditional round beer towers, making it particularly suited to contemporary bar installations.
If you want multiple taps without taking up unnecessary bench space, a T-shaped beer font can be an excellent solution.
Keg King's T-shaped range includes double-, triple- and quadruple-tap options, including UltraT configurations and flooded-font packages.
For a larger home bar, multi-tap modular fonts provide another way to build a professional-looking dispensing station. T
he Keg King modular range currently extends up to six taps.
Once you're running multiple kegs, knowing which tap serves which beer becomes increasingly important.
Beer decals and holders can help turn your tap setup into an easy-to-read beer menu while adding another visual element to your home bar.
More taps mean more pours — and potentially more drips.
A stainless-steel drip tray keeps the area underneath your taps cleaner while helping complete the professional appearance of your dispensing station.
For a multi-tap kegerator, it's one of those small details that makes a big difference.

HIGHER PERFORMANCE: Build a Better Beer Dispensing System
Adding taps increases your options, but the dispensing system behind those taps matters just as much.
Temperature, beer lines, gas distribution and flow all contribute to the overall pouring experience.
That's where the right Keg King equipment can take your setup beyond simply adding another tap.
A flooded font is designed to circulate cooling liquid through the font, helping keep the dispensing hardware cold.
Keg King currently offers flooded font options ranging from single-tap systems through to double-, triple- and quadruple-tap configurations.
The UltraT Bar Premium Flooded Font Packs, for example, combine the T-shaped font design with the ability to flood the font internally with water or glycol for additional cooling.
Add a UNIVERSAL COOLING KIT! To keep your T-Font kit nice and cold using just your kegerator. 
Did you know our FLOODED I FONT KITS have an internal pump and don't require the addition of a universal cooling kit?
Available in Single Tap, Double Tap and Triple Tap formats, Keg King Flooded I Font kits are plug and play. We innovated the unique design and nothing else competes on performance, quality or price!
Forward-Sealing Beer Taps - The Ultratap Experience is Unbeatable
Your tap is the final point between the keg and the glass, so choosing the right dispensing hardware matters.
Forward-sealing taps are a popular choice for modern beer dispensing systems, particularly when you're looking for a practical, easy-to-use tap configuration.
Pair your taps with appropriately configured beer lines and the rest of your dispensing system to create a setup tailored to your beers and serving requirements.
Keg King UltraTap beverage taps offer the best performance and price. Swap out the spouts to change the pour for specific beverages including Nitro, Czech Pilsner, ball lock post spout, growler filler and more.
We even have side pull taps in the Ultratap lineup.
Manifolds: Make Multi-Keg Systems Easier
Once you've got two, three or more kegs connected, gas management becomes an important part of the setup.
A gas manifold allows multiple kegs to be connected to a shared gas supply, helping organise the inside of your kegerator and making it easier to run a multi-keg dispensing system.
In other words:
More taps shouldn't mean more mess.
Running refrigeration equipment in Australia's warmer conditions can create additional cooling considerations.
A tropical fan kit can be particularly relevant when you're building a system that needs to manage additional cooling requirements.
If you're installing a flooded font, Keg King also offers cooling-related accessories and systems designed to work with its font range.
Already have a beer font you like?
You don't necessarily need to replace your entire dispensing system to improve cooling.
Keg King offers a Universal Font Cooling Kit Module, alongside other font cooling products, providing options for customers looking to incorporate additional cooling into compatible setups.
Different drinks can behave differently when dispensed.
Flow-control taps provide an additional adjustment point at the tap besides just on and off, allowing you to regulate the flow amount of beverage moving through the tap during service.
For a multi-tap kegerator, this can be particularly useful when you're serving several different beverages through the same overall dispensing system.

Adding more taps gives you more choice.
But there's another question:
How much beer is left in each keg?
With one keg, you might have a rough idea.
With four or six kegs?
That's where things get interesting.
Kegscales: Know What's Left
Kegscales bring a smarter approach to keg management by allowing you to monitor keg weight.
Instead of relying entirely on guesswork, weighing your kegs can give you a better indication of how much product remains.
That's particularly useful for a multi-tap kegerator where several beers might be connected simultaneously.
And there's nothing worse than pulling your favourite beer tap for a Friday-night pour only to discover that the keg ran dry sometime during the week.
More taps. More choice. Less guesswork.

Added value:  Our Kegscales also have a separate stand alone app called FermMaster App that can provide fermentation tracking without having anything in contact with the beverage.

How Many Taps Should You Add?
There's no single answer — it depends on your space, your kegs and how many different beverages you want available.
2 taps
A great starting point if you're upgrading from a single-tap kegerator.
Two taps allow you to keep two different beers or beverages ready to serve without dramatically increasing the footprint of your setup.
3–4 taps
This is where a kegerator starts to feel like a proper home bar.
Keg King's current range includes three- and four-tap font configurations, including modular, column and flooded options.
5–6 taps
For serious home bars, entertaining spaces or beverage enthusiasts who want maximum choice, larger multi-tap systems can turn your dispensing setup into a genuine centrepiece.
Keg King's Modular Beer Tower range currently includes five- and six-tap configurations.
