All About Compatibility with Beer Dispensers

Choosing between Gravity Feed and Fresh Kegs? It’ll largely depend on the beer you crave and what your beer dispenser can handle. Make sure to check:

  • CO2 Needs: Fresh Kegs need a dispenser that can handle CO2 cartridges to keep the beer fresh and fizzy.
  • Keeping it Chill: Many dispensers let you control the temp, which is key for keeping any keg at its best.

Great news! Both keg types work like a charm with our DreamDraft5L Mini Keg Beer Dispenser. DreamDraft is a breeze to use and is flexible enough to handle both keg types with ease, keeping your beer just the way you like it. Check out the video here on how to use!
