How long does beer last in a kegerator once tapped?

A keg that’s tapped and hooked into a kegerator should maintain at peak freshness for 12–24 hours. You can still leave it tapped and drink the beer after 24 hours pass, but it may not taste as fresh.

How long should a CO2 tank last in a kegerator?

How long your CO2 tank lasts depends on its size. A 5-lb. tank of CO2 should get you through six to eight kegs. A general rule of thumb is that it takes ½ lb. of CO2 to dispense a quarter barrel of beer, so it takes about 1 lb. of CO2 to dispense a standard-sized half-barrel keg.

Can you fix beer line or tap problems?

Absolutely. We provide kegerator repair for beer line clogs, leaks, and dispenser malfunctions. If your tap isn’t pouring correctly—or not at all—we’ll inspect the system and get things flowing again.

Why is my kegerator not cooling properly?

If your unit isn’t cooling like it should, it could be due to dirty condenser coils, a worn-out thermostat, or gasket issues. A professional kegerator repair can restore proper function without the guesswork.

Is it better to repair or replace a kegerator?

In most cases, kegerator repair is more affordable than replacement. Common issues can often be fixed with new parts or adjustments, saving you the cost of replacing the entire unit.

Do you offer kegerator service for all types and brands?

Yes. We offer kegerator service for many major brands, including Kegco, EdgeStar, Perlick, Summit, HomeCraft, Danby, and TMCraft. Whether it’s a single-tap setup or a full home bar system, we’re equipped to repair and maintain it.

How often should I schedule kegerator service or maintenance?

Routine kegerator service is recommended at least once a year, especially if your unit gets frequent use. Regular maintenance helps prevent buildup in beer lines, keeps components in working order, and ensures consistent performance.
