Kegerator FAQ
Updated 25 Jun 2025
+− What CO₂ pressure should I set for a standard beer keg?
Most lagers pour best at 12–14 PSI at 38 °F. Use 8–10 PSI for stout blends with nitrogen.
+− How often should I clean beer lines?
Every 2 weeks—run alkaline cleaner then sanitizer to avoid off-flavors.
+− Which keg sizes fit a 24-inch under-counter kegerator?
One ½-barrel (15.5 gal) or two 1⁄6-barrel sixtels with a dual-tower kit.
+− Can I keep a kegerator outdoors?
Yes—choose a unit rated 32–109 °F with 304/316 stainless. Indoor models struggle above 90 °F outdoors.
+− What serving temperature is ideal for craft IPAs?
Target 38–42 °F—colder mutes hop aroma; warmer can increase foam and perceived bitterness.
