Set on locking casters, it is just a quick flip of the switch to move your Kegerator around your event, then another quick flip to secure the casters in place.  The Refrigerated Beer Dispenser uses a standard grounded plug.  The black enamel finish and and elegant dispensing system will turn your party into a special event.

A couple of things to keep in mind to make sure your Kegerator party is a success:

• If you keg has been moved around a lot of warms up prior to your event, it will take up to several hours to be ice cold and ready to pour
• Open the faucet quickly and completely.  Opening it only partway causes your brew to foam.  Close quickly as well.
• Tilt your glass when pouring your beer so it gently slides down the glass which will also prevent foam.
• Frosty mugs are not recommended as the Kegerator allows you to set the beer temperature between 30 and 50 degrees.   The frosty mug causes foam and freezing.  If you must use a frosty mug, rinse it in warm water right before serving the beer,
• Most draft systems are set from 36 to 38, but choose your temp based on your beer.  Dark lagers tend to be better served a little warmer.

To use the cooler, just add the keg, surround it will ice, and pop on the top until you are ready to tap!  When you are ready to party, the opening in the lid is just the right size for tapping the keg and allowing easy access to the spigot while letting a minimal amount of the keg area to be exposed to outside air.  The cooler does not have a drain, so when your event is over, simply remove the keg and pour out any excess ice and water.

Not a fan of tap beer?  This cooler will hold 7 cases of your favorite 12 ounce cans.

The interior dimensions of the cooler are 21”H X 21”W and the exterior dimensions are 22”H X 24”W

Excellent as a wedding rental, the fountain will add a touch of beauty and class to your event.  To keep your Champagne bubbly, we recommend adding a bit more every 20 minutes or so as to not lose the carbonation.   Not a fan of Champagne?  That’s okay – any type of alcohol or beverage can be used in the fountain as long as it is pulp-free. A great alternative is to use a sparkling wine or cider in the fountain to serve your party guests all night long.

Also a great rental item for Birthday Parties, Corporate Events, and Bridal Showers.

Tips:

• 5 Gallons of Champagne or Wine in a standard 750ml bottle equals about 25 bottles
• Do not let the fountain run dry – unplug it or add more of your beverage
• Add Champagne slowly before turning the fountain on so as not to overflow
• Champagne carbonation is at its peak within the first 20 minutes of turning on the fountain but can be extended by adding more bubbly throughout the event
• Chill your beverage before adding it the the fountain.  To keep it cool, small cubes of dry ice may be added to the lower bowl.

Do you know why Champagne fizzes?  It is because the grapes used to brew the wine frost early and never fully ferment.  In the spring when it warms up, the continued fermentation in the bottle creates the bubbles!

Don’t forget to add Champagne Flutes!

Each box of Cotton Candy Mix makes 60-70 cones of the sweet treat.   The flavors most reminiscent of childhood festivals are  pink and blue so we offer floss flavors in the most popular blue raspberry or pink vanilla.   Cotton candy cones and bags are available for purchase along with the mix to provide you with a one stop shopping experience.

Tips when making Cotton Candy:

• Sugar can be added to the spinning head throughout the spinning process.  No need to turn it off and restart.
• Don’t be took eager to start twirling cones to collect the floss.  Allow a bit to build up in the machine and then start twirling.
• Flavors can be mixed together in the machine.
• If you are having difficulty collecting the candy, very slightly dampen the edge of the cone to catch the candy.
• The easiest way to bag the candy is by allowing the floss to build up, twirling it around a cone or a large spoon and inserting it the bag all at once

The Sephra fountain requires a dedicated grounded plug for use.  The bottom basin of the bowl keeps the chocolate warm so it can easily be pulled in the center cylinder to flow over the tiers.  The flow cycle ensures the chocolate will stay a perfect liquid consistency while constantly churning the chocolate.

A few important tips:

• When choosing a location for your fountain, make sure it is not close to air conditioning or heating ducts.  If you are using it outdoors, it must be protected from wind.
• Make sure the fountain is placed on a level surface.  If it is not level, the flow of the chocolate will be uneven.
• Use only the chocolate provided by Area Rental.  Not all chocolate is designed for use in fountains as they don’t have proper oil ratios.

What do I dip in my Fountain?
The list of potential dipping items is endless! For best results, we recommend avoiding items that crumble easily. Crumbs that fall into the chocolate can cause it to thicken and/or gap.
Strawberries – Bananas – Pineapple Chunks – Orange Slices – Peaches – Nectarines – Dried Apricots – Kiwis – Apple Slices – Pretzels – Marshmallows -Rice Crispy Treats – Cream Puffs – Graham Crackers – Clustered Nuts – Cookies – Wafers – Animal Crackers – Brownies – Peanut Butter Cookies -Mint Patties –
Biscotti – Popcorn Clusters

A great idea to add a little gourmet to your hot dog party is to offer a topping bar.  Of course there are the basics, like ketchup and mustard, but here are some ideas to bring it to the next level:

• Onions – yellow, white, red or scallions, diced or in strips
• Tomatoes – diced or moon shape slices or Rotel for a little extra zing
• Relish – sweet and dill
• Peppers – Banana, Jalapeno and Sport – hot and mild plus  diced red, green or yellow
• Cheese – any kind of shredded cheese, plus nacho cheese or blue cheese
• Other meats – try pepperoni or bacon
• Pickles – sweet and dill
• Sauerkraut, Shredded Lettuce, or Shredded cabbage
• Chili
• Other sauces like mayonnaise, ranch dressing, Srirachia, barbecue, steak sauce, or even pizza sauce

Did you know the first ever Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest was in 1916!  The reigning champ since 2007, with the exception of 2015 when defeated by only two hot dogs, is Joey Chestnut, who holds the record for eating 75 hot dogs with buns in only 10 minutes!  You may want to rent an extra Hot Dog Warmer if you invite him to your party!

Some important tips to remember when you rent this item for your event:

• This item works best in a cool, shady area.  If it is too hot, the mix either will not freeze completely or take a longer time to freeze.  Smaller tent rentals are available if no shade is available for an outdoor party.
• Sufficient power is needed to run the machine.  One standard 110-115 volt 15 amp outlet should be dedicated for using the machine with nothing else sharing the plug.  If an extension cord is needed, we rent heavy duty extension cords suited to power needs of the Margarita Machine.
• Make sure you mix the water and the drink mix well before beginning to blend the drinks.

Did you know Americans consume 17 billion quarts of popcorn every year?  That is enough to fill the Empire State Building 18 times!  Since you may not need quite that much, try this handy serving chart for your party rental:

• 2 tablespoons of kernels, which is equivalent to one ounce of kernels, will make approximately one quart (or 4 cups) of popped popcorn.
• 1/4 cup of kernels, which is equivalent to 2 ounces of kernels, will make approximately two quarts (or 8 cups) of popped popcorn.
• 1/2 cup of kernels, which is equivalent to 4 ounces of kernels, will make approximately four quarts (or 16 cups or 1 gallon) of popped popcorn.
• 3/4 cup of kernels, which is equivalent to 6 ounces of kernels, will make approximately six quarts (or 24 cups or 1.5 gallons) of popped popcorn.
• 1 cup of kernels, which is equivalent to 8 ounces of kernels, will make approximately eight quarts (or 32 cups or 2 gallons) of popped popcorn.

Need help figuring out how much ice you will need for your party.  Here is some help:

• A half pound of ice will make one 6oz Snow Cone – so a 20 pound bag of ice will make 40 cones.
• Each Snow Cone takes 2 ounces of syrup.  They simply won’t absorb more.
• One gallon of syrup will make 64 Snow Cones

A few more tips to keep in mind:

• Try to keep the machine in a shady area at your event to prevent the ice from melting.
• Even though the ice is designed for snow cones, party guests often end up scooping some of the ice into their drinks, so plan on getting more ice than you think you will need.
• Shave at one time only what you think you will need for immediate serving so you don’t lose much ice to melting.

Complete your rental with Snow Cone Syrup and Snow Cone Cups.  We also offer a Pump you can attach to the Syrup Bottle that will measure the syrup for you!
