Take the pub experience home!
The T-Fal BeerTender for Heineken DraftKegs is one of the lowest priced home units for Heineken mini kegs. Priced at approximately $150.00, this small, lightweight draft beer dispenser is a great addition to any beer lover’s kitchen, den, or game room.
Like most BeerTender appliances, the T-fal unit features top-mounted indicator lights that let you know when your mini keg is at the perfect temperature for your enjoyment. It’s important to note that cooling a beer from room temperature to optimal extraction temperature can take up to 10 hours, so be sure to plan ahead before heating the keg.
current limitations
The main drawback for beer enthusiasts with any of the BeerTender units is their limited selection of beers that will work with the home recording system. As of now, only Heineken, Heinken Premium Light and Newcastle Brown Ale casks will work with the T-Fal.
Other 5 liter mini kegs cannot be drawn with this system as they are not CO2 pressurized like the Heineken Draft keg. That’s an important thing to keep in mind if you were planning to order Oberon from Bell to keep on your beer tap. To take advantage of gravity fed mini kegs as well as Heineken brands check out the EdgeStar Mini Kegerator which features a co2 adapter to use standard 5 liter kegs.
Easy to use
Installing and connecting your mini keg to the dispenser is very easy and will take almost no time. Just open the lid, slide in your barrel and connect the feed tube, that’s it. T-fal and Krups units are fairly simple to operate, so don’t worry about complicated connections or setup procedures.
Characteristics
The T-fal BeerTender features removable stainless steel drip trays that handle overflow and make cleanup easy. A detachable pour spout also makes cleanup easy, but you’ll need to replace the Beertender tube lines with each new keg. You can find the tube packs in sets of 10 on Amazon, it is recommended to stock up on a bunch of them when you first order to save on shipping each time you need to re-order the tubes.
Treat yourself to the perfect
This is a great inexpensive toy for any beer lover who wants cold fresh beer on tap every day. Its small size and light weight make it extremely portable, making it ideal for barbecues and tailgates as well. The BeerTender is designed to pour your beer the right way with the perfect amount of head so you can really enjoy the beer tasting experience.
