A Guide to Stylish Home Bars All the Equipment Needed to Entertain like a Pro is Introduced by HomeThangs.com Home Improvement Super Store

(PRWEB) August 12, 2012

HomeThangs.com the Home Improvement Super Store has made their goal to deliver the right product to the consumer, with that in mind, shopping and home design tips, as well as special product selections are being introduced.

For those who do a lot of entertaining and have a little extra space in a home, transforming a portion of it a basement, unused formal dining room, or spare living room into a bar or entertainment area is a good idea. But making a good, fully functional home bar is about more than just putting up a nice bar top and stools and busting out the cocktail shaker.

HomeThangs has introduced a guide to home bars for those who entertain a lot a checklist of what equipment to get and why.

1. Bar Sink

A bar sink is worth considering when it comes to building a home bar, either built into the prep station behind the bar or directly into the bar itself. Why? If bar is built in an odd space like a basement or even a garage one might not have an existing sink, which means having to leave the room to rinse fruit, wash glasses, or even to do a decent job of mopping down the bar.

Trough-style sinks like Allegany Bar Sink from Sierra Copper are great for a home bar. The hand pounded copper finish is beautiful enough to accent even a really nice bar top, its easy to clean, and its slightly sloped for easy draining.

2. Wine Cooler / Wine Cellar

A built in wine cooler can be an excellent addition to a home bar, especially for those who have more than a few bottles of wine on hand at a time. Ranging in size from smaller-than-a-mini-fridge to the size of a full refrigerator, wine coolers are great for keeping wine in a climate controlled environment to mature and at the ideal serving temperature. Larger models can hold upwards of 200 bottles in a motion-dampened, UV-proof, climate controlled space, and are an excellent alternative to full sized wine cellars. Smaller models do the same job for a dozen bottles or fewer, which is good for a more casual wine drinker. For someone with a medium sized, mixed selection, something like the Dual Zone wine cooler from Marvel that houses white and red wines in separate temperatures would be a good choice.

3. Kegerator

Entirely self contained, kegerators are essentially mini fridges (many of them can actually be converted back into fridges as needed) with a tap on top, room inside for a keg and a canister of CO2, and all the hardware to connect them all built in. Individual kegerators can have as many as 3 taps, though the more varieties of beer one wants to serve from a single kegerator, the smaller the kegs will need to be. The Half Keg Beer Dispenser by Marvel builds right in to the counter and can hold a half keg of beer at the perfect serving temperature (just above freezing) for 2 months or 175 12 oz glasses.

Because they have their own built in, refillable CO2 supplies, home kegerators will store beer properly and at the ideal serving temperature, and offer both an authentic tap taste and an authentic tavern look and feel. The Dual Tap from Summit can be adjusted up to three taps in a variety of finishes - all modern steel or wood and brass for something with a little more pub style.

4. Beverage Cooler

There are a couple different kinds of beverage coolers the full sized ones like those in a mini mart, and smaller, under-the-counter types like Beverage Coolers by Summit Apliance, that are much better suited to a residential setting. For bottled beer, soda, mixers, or just spare water bottles, a beverage cooler is a good way to organize bottled or canned drinks and keep them cooled.

5. Ice Maker

This is the one appliance that flirts with frivolity. For those who serve a lot of mixed drinks, or host a lot of parties that last longer than one can keep the ice frozen, installing an ice machine like the Crescent Cube Ice Maker by Marvel into a bars prep area can save a lot of back and forth, and keep one fully stocked in ice all day and night.

6. Mini Fridge

Mini fridge is more versatile than almost any other home bar specific appliance, and when serving a party, chances are one is going to need a little chill cold drinks, cold mixers, chilled fruits for garnish, or even just a cheese or veggie platter or a tub of dip. Something like a Mini Fridge from Summit Appliance wont take up much space, can install either under the counter or anywhere else in the room, and only need a single outlet to function. Plus, some of them even have small freezers for a couple trays of ice.

HomeThangs.com is not only a home improvement superstore, it also provides expert design tips and a comprehensive shopping guide, taking the ideas from professional interior designers, and offering tips to the consumers on how to pick the products to best suit their needs.

Micro Matic Draft Beer Equipment Featured in Record-Setting 360 Faucet Installation at New Chicago Restaurant

Brooksville, FL (PRWEB) March 25, 2013

Micro Matic draft beer dispensing equipment forms the heart of new epic beer hall Howells & Hood located in iconic Chicago Tribune Tower.

Officially opened to the public on St. Patrick's Day weekend, Howells & Hood is equipped with 114 different beers on tap pouring through 360 faucets spread across three bars, making it the venue with the most tap handles in the city of Chicago and likely the world.

Named after the Tribune Buildings architects, John Howells and Raymond Hood, the restaurants interior replicates the epic neo-Gothic design of the landmark building designed by its namesakes.

With a main dining room seating 250 guests and an additional banquet room holding 150 more, the 23,000 square foot venues design includes copper-topped bars and travertine-tiled walls with quotes inscribed from everyone from Al Capone to Abraham Lincoln. To maintain the buildings continuity, the stone tile found throughout the space was collected from the same quarry in Rome used 80 years ago during the towers construction.

Each of the 114 brews available to complement the restaurants globally-inspired menu pours from a gigantic glassed-in refrigerated cooler that can hold up to 670 kegs. This massive cooler is visible to patrons behind the bar, showing the faucets pouring beer from the kegs directly behind them. The effect is one part showmanship and one part an effort to relay the authentic experience of beer from keg that it truly is.

"It was a pleasure working with Micro Matic on our most ambitious draft project yet at Howells and Hood. 360 faucets pouring 114 different beers would be daunting for anyone, but Micro Matic was there with us every step of the way. A concept of this size and scale would not have been possible without Micro Matic's full support and expertise throughout the design and installation process," said Jason Akemann, principle owner of Howells and Hood.

Behind the scenes in the refrigerated cooler is one full mile of refrigerated Black Diamond trunk line, Micro Matics patented beer line insulation that delivers beer at a constant temperature to the 360 faucets.

The majority of the insulated trunk housing consists of 10 beer lines with 5/16 I.D. and four glycol cooling lines with 3/8 I.D. There are eight Pro-Line power packs in total refrigerating the glycol which maintains the beer temperature from the keg to the faucet.

Micro Matic produced 32 custom Kool-Rite dispense modules to cool the beer at the faucet. All the hardware touching the beer is stainless steel to deliver the best draft flavor and experience to the customer.

Also included in the Howells and Hood installation was wine certified equipment to dispense 36 wines on tap. Micro Matic has been instrumental in the rising trend of wine on tap, providing the highest quality equipment and expertise for this new, more cost-effective, and environmentally friendly method of keg wine dispensing.

The monumental installation carried out by Chicago local and Micro Matic Certified Installer Stuever & Sons, Inc. took just over one month with six installers on-hand working 12-14 hours per day, seven days per week. All work installing the system was performed so as to preserve the integrity of this historic building.

The Micro Matic Certified Installer Network provides expert installation and support services for businesses across the nation.
