True Residential Kegerators

True Residential Kegerators at Plesser's Appliances

True Residential kegerators, available at Plesser's Appliances, bring draft beer service into the home with the same commercial refrigeration engineering True builds into professional equipment. Hand-built in St. Louis, Missouri, these undercounter units hold a keg at proper serving temperature and carry True's full range of made-to-order colors and hardware, so a tap can be specified as part of a finished bar rather than added as a standalone box.

Forced-Air Cooling for Proper Draft Temperature
Draft beer is unforgiving about temperature. Too warm and it foams at the tap; too cold and the carbonation and flavor suffer. True's forced-air system circulates high-velocity air throughout the cabinet to hold a steady setpoint and recover quickly after the door is opened, which keeps a keg at serving temperature through an evening of pours rather than drifting between them.

Keg Capacity and Cabinet Configuration
Cabinet interiors are configured to accept standard keg sizes, with the CO2 cylinder and regulator housed inside or externally depending on the model. Which keg sizes fit is a function of cabinet width and interior height, so confirm capacity against the spec sheet before ordering — a unit sized for a sixth-barrel will not take a half-barrel. Some models convert to shelving for use as a beverage center when a keg is not installed.

Tap Hardware and Dispensing
Tower and tap configurations vary by model, including single and dual tap options. Because the tower and faucet are the most visible part of the unit, hardware finish should be coordinated with the cabinet and with adjacent True equipment. Confirm what tower, faucet, coupler, and CO2 components are included versus sold separately — this varies and affects what else you need to order.

Undercounter Installation and Front Venting
Front-grille venting allows a kegerator to install flush within a cabinetry run with finished panels on either side, or to sit freestanding in a finished bar. A keg represents significant weight and the cabinet is built accordingly. Confirm cutout dimensions and required front-grille clearance on the spec sheet before framing, and plan for tower clearance above the counter.

Color and Hardware Customization
True offers standard and custom colors with hardware in stainless steel, matte black, brushed bronze, chrome, and antique brass, plus panel-ready configurations on select models. Every unit is finished to order. Specified alongside a True beverage center, ice maker, or undercounter refrigerator in matching finish, a kegerator reads as part of the bar rather than an appliance parked in it.

Specification and Installation Planning
Installation requires a dedicated circuit and, for a through-counter tower, a penetration cut before the countertop is finished. Solid brass hinges, commercial-grade door gaskets, and True's professional cabinet construction carry across the lineup. Talk to the team at Plesser's Appliances about keg size, tap configuration, CO2 setup, tower placement, and hinge orientation so the bar is built around the right unit.
