First keg should arrive tomorrow

[BigBadJohn]

Im so happy
Getting a 1/2 of Miller Lite.
Anything I should know before tapping?


So if I turn the system "off" by lifting up the tap handle will I need to repour foam after I push the handle back down again?
I need a cheap way to easily turn the system off.
Little brother

Also. I got a tall Miller Lite tap handle but when I screw it on the faucet wont go all the way closed because the handle hits the fridge. Is there some way I can adjust the faucet so the handle doesnt hit?

Found an almost full case of English style beer mugs in the attic. Theres 21 of them. Ravenhead is the manufacturer out of England.
My mom said my dad bought them back in '82 to give out to the groomsmen as gifts but he soon realized that it was a retarded idea
Also have a big assortment of steins, nickel glasses, tumblers, shot glasses, and pilsner glasses

What type should I use for the Miller?

I hope all my parts work properly!

Buy a faucet lock or make your little brother understand that you will hurt him if he can't stay out of your beer. There is a little beer that is going to come out every time you lift the handle on the keg coupler. Over time, this is going to get messy and start to contaminate your coupler and lines.

Not the shot glasses. It is my understanding that the metal ones are not the best idea, either, since they likely do not have as smooth a surface as glass, which can cause a wild pour. If you don't have a problem, why not. I prefer a pint glass for my beer. The pilsner always seems to end up knocked over and broken after the 10th or 12th one.

By nickel glasses, I mean the tiny little glass ones. Usually had a beer brand on it.
Ill get some pics after I put the new shelf mat in the minibar and put the glasses away

Could I turn the co2 bottle off? Or would I have to repour foam afterwards?

With the co2 off, the keg will still be pressurized and will dispense for a while. And while little brother is dispensing this way, he will be letting the co2 out of your beer making it go flat.

This what I have as I also have a teenage son at home: http://www.micromatic.com/draft-keg-...pid-23-41.html
