Non-pressurized Mini Keg Tapping Instructions
Note that the following instructions refer to optional accessory kit (sold
separately). Visit kegerator.com for more information and/or to place an
order for the optional accessories.
Most 5 Liter mini kegs are “non-pressurized”- though the kegs are
shipped with minimal pressure inside to ensure the freshness of the
beer, once they are opened, all the pressure escapes and they
must be served with gravity (poured), or by re-pressurizing them (in
this case, with CO
2
).
All non-pressurized mini kegs must use the optional accessory kit’s
non-pressurized mini keg tap, shown following:
A few notes on usage of the above tap:
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 remained still long
enough to avoid foaming from the ventilation opening.
It’s a good idea to wet the “piercing tube” with a little water prior
to tapping a mini keg. This will lubricate the tube.
Drive the piercing tube soundly through the rubber ring and into
the mini keg when tapping it, and then secure the tap assembly
onto the top of the mini keg with the spring-loaded catch.
