    Default Leftover Keg

    I am going to a party tonight where they will have a keg with a party pump. Since I have a home kegerator, my buddy said I could have the keg after the party if there's any left over. It will be on ice all night until I take it home and I can put it in my fridge immediately. My question is since it will have air pumped in it from the party pump, will it still last a few weeks in my system with constant Co2? If it's not going to be ok, I don't want to hassle with bringing it home.

    wbcarter,
    Few days maybe few weeks , no. The addition of air will immediately start to make beer go bad. If you can get CO2 push for party then you might make it last a few weeks.

    No big deal, I'll probably pass on it. I figured that was the case but I wanted to make sure before I gave up a free partial keg. Thanks for the reponse.
