The kegerator is a modern miracle for anyone who enjoys high quality beer on tap at all times. Once you have experienced the joy of the many microbreweries in your area you will never again want to buy bottled or canned beer. A kegerator can be as simple as a converted old refrigerator or as fancy as a built-in counter system. Many people like to insulate the carry lines of their kegerator once it is set up to keep the beer at a cool and enjoyable temperature of 38 degrees Fahrenheit.
Instructions
1. Measure the length and circumference of all the tubing and piping that goes from the refrigerated part of the kegerator to the taps.
2. Locate a store or manufacturer of PVC tubing and take the measurements of the tubes and pipes leading from the refrigerated parts of the kegerator to the taps.
3. Buy the necessary amount of PVC tubing. It is best to get 3-inch tubing for the most insulation possible, but you can get away with 2-inch tubing if that is all you can find. Make sure that the store cuts the PVC tubing to the lengths you need. Once you have the PVC, go to your local home center and buy the flex insulation.
4. Lay the flex on the floor, matching the correct pieces of flex insulation to the corresponding pipes and tubes. Lay the flex over the pipes and tubes starting at the end farthest away from the tap.
5. Slide the PVC tubing over the flex beginning at the same point you started laying the flex and work your way to the taps. Make sure each end is covered by the PVC piece that follows it.
6. Pay extra attention to the parts that join the pipes and the taps to one another. Use a refrigerator thermometer to make sure the beer is kept at 38 degrees Fahrenheit.
