What did you have the pressure set to? My neighbor got his kegerator several months before I did. Some numnut he worked with told him to keep the pressure at 6 or 7. And what happened? Towards the end 1/3 of the barrel, about 2-3 weeks later, his Bud Light tasted flat and old. Once I got my kegerator, joined this forum, and learned a few things, I schooled him on the pressure and told him to keep it at least at 12. Now his beer is like a cup of Maxwell House. Good to the last drop.

Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.
Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery
and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might
be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself,
"It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than
be selfish and worry about my liver."
