A '''Lagerator''' is a term used to describe a refrigerator or freezer that is used to control the temperature of a fermenting beer. It differs from a [[Kegerator|kegerator]] only in definition of use. Every lagerator is a kegerator, but not every kegerator is a lagerator. Lagerators are used for controlled fermentation, [[Crash_cooling|crash cooling]], or [[Conditioning the Beer#Lagering|lagering]] only. A kegerator can be used for all these purposes and serving a keg too. | A '''Lagerator''' is a term used to describe a refrigerator or freezer that is used to control the temperature of a fermenting beer.
