Q&A
How do I tap a keg?
We’ll show you. When operating your tap, the main thing to remember is “don’t overpump.” Pump the tap just a couple of times with the faucet open until you get a nice steady flow, then stop pumping. (Over-pumping introduces air and causes excess foam.)
How long will kegged beer keep? Why does it go flat?
Kegged beer will keep for a few days if kept cold, on ice or in a kegerator. Treat your keg like a bottle of milk—if beer gets warm, it goes sour or will not pour properly. Beer changes in taste as it changes in temperature and with each day that it’s exposed to air. Tapping your keg with a party pump puts air into the container. Carbon dioxide escapes as air enters the keg, causing the beer to become flat. Kegerator beer used with a proper CO2 system and temperature will maintain quality and shelf life. Kegerator beer lines should be cleaned on a regular basis. If you are not sure, ask us!
