We tapped our first mini-keg over the weekend. The keg is 5 liters. Setup was easy. Just push the tap into the keg and screw in a CO2 cartridge into the tap. We finished about four of the liters that night. The following evening, I poured a 4 oz glass to see how the beer was doing. It was still drinkable but had become a bit stale. Could have been user error. Maybe adjusting the CO2 better would keep the beer fresh longer.
The beer we tried was Hombres, our Belgian IPA. We used a generous amount of rye in this one. The Belgian yeast is the most pronounced flavor but the Nelson Sauvin hops come through nicely. The hops give the beer a pleasant aroma. Overall, I like it a lot.
