As an expert sommelier and brewer, I have had my fair share of experiences with kegerators. They are essential for serving beer on tap, whether it be at home or in a commercial setting. One question that often comes up when considering a kegerator is, “How heavy is it?”
The weight of a kegerator can vary depending on its size and the materials used in its construction. Generally, a kegerator can weigh anywhere from 50 to 200 pounds. The weight is primarily determined by the compressor and cooling system, as well as the thickness and insulation of the unit.
When I was setting up my own home bar, I decided to invest in a kegerator to ensure that I could serve beer at the perfect temperature and with minimal hassle. I opted for a mid-sized kegerator that could accommodate two standard kegs. This particular model weighed around 100 pounds.
Transporting the kegerator from the store to my home was definitely a bit of a challenge. I had to enlist the help of a friend to lift it into my vehicle and carefully secure it to prevent any damage during transit. Once we arrived at my house, we had to carefully maneuver the kegerator through doorways and up a flight of stairs. It was certainly a workout!
Once we had the kegerator in place, I was able to set it up and start enjoying fresh beer on tap. The weight of the kegerator was not an issue once it was in its designated spot, as it was designed to be sturdy and stable. However, it is worth noting that kegerators can be quite heavy, so it is important to ensure that the floor or surface you plan to place it on can support its weight.
The weight of a kegerator can vary depending on its size and construction, ranging from 50 to 200 pounds. When considering a kegerator, it is important to plan for the transportation and placement of the unit, as they can be quite heavy. Despite the initial challenge, having a kegerator at home has been a game-changer for me, allowing me to serve beer on tap and save money in the long run.
