Can you fill a mini keg with bottled beer?

You will significantly shorten the beer’s lifespan due to the oxygenation, but if you fill the keg as full as you can so there’s little to no airspace at the top and you’re drinking it all that day, you’ll be fine.

Do you need CO2 for a keg?

For the majority of draft beer dispense systems, CO2 is the primary gas used to get the beer out of the keg and into your glass. The pressurized gas from the tank propels the beer through the keg coupler via the beer line. The beer travels up to the faucet tap and dispenses into your waiting glass.

Do you need a tap for a mini keg?

If you are going to dispense using the included tap on the side of the keg, then you will need the vented bung (available as an add-on below). If you will be dispensing with CO2, then you’ll need the Party-Star Tap, the two-piece bung, and some 16 gram CO2 cartridges.

Should I add sugar to homebrew?

In addition to increasing the alcohol content, adding more sugar during the brewing process can affect the color, flavor and body of the beer. Using corn sugar, or dextrose, will lighten the body and color of the beer without affecting the flavor profile of the beer.
