Cold Plate vs. Coil Jockey Box: Picking the Perfect Portable Keg Chiller for Your Needs [kegeratoronline.com]
If you need to be serving ice-cold draft beer anywhere, anytime? A jockey box is your portable solution, but with two main chilling options: cold plates and coils. Choosing the right one depends on your brewing habits. This guide will help you pick the perfect jockey box for your next adventure!
Cold Plate Jockey Box: Simple Chilling for Low-Volume Events

Coil Jockey Box: Powerful Chilling for Serious Beer Flow
