IMPORTANT:
Before piercing the plug on the top of the keg, you must always follow the instructions marked
on the keg to eliminate the excess gas and ensure that the keg has rested long enough to
avoid foam coming out through the tap faucet.
a) Heineken keg:
When using the Heineken type keg:
Remove the spout that is supplied with the keg. Remove the adaptor from the keg.
Using the Heineken keg adapter supplied with your Mini-Pub attach to the dispensing end of the
spout. Proceed to install the spout and adapter as instructed by the instructions on your keg.
b) Keg with rubber plug:
This type of plug allows you to pierce the keg simply using the dispensing kit.
c) Keg with combined plug:
This type of plug requires the excess air to be vented from the keg by complying with the instructions
indicated on the keg. Then, this part must be removed by vigorously pulling it so as to reveal the
second part of the plug which can be pierced as in example b).
d) Keg with vent plug:
Since both plugs are visually similar, it is impossible to differentiate between a vent plug and a
combined plug.
With the vent plug, proceed as with the combined plug (see example c): open the plug and allow the
air to vent out (Follow the keg manufacturer’s guide as printed on the keg).
Then, you must remove the vent plug as follows:
Using a flat head screwdriver, place the screwdriver underneath the locking ring and lift up the plug. A
part of the plug will fall into the keg. This is normal and will not alter the beer's flavor.
Then, fit the all-purpose plug (orange keg seal) provided with your appliance into the opening where
the original plug used to be.
d) Other types of kegs:
Remove the plug's cover then cut the vent plug with the pliers or other tools. Then, fit the all-purpose
plug (orange keg seal) provided with your appliance into the opening where the original plug used to
be.
