Keep you Keg Brew fresher longer with a CO2 Rod & Faucet system

posted on July 1, 2009 in Tailgate Supplies

Hand pumps work well for most occasions. They are fairly cost effective as well. But the fact remains that you get what you pay for. With a hand pump you are using manually pumped oxygen to get the beer out of the keg.

While it is cost effective, it will not help to keep the beer fresh for very long. After a day or two, the beer will be old and stale. To avoid that problem but maintain the ease of use and portability of manual pumps, you can get this double gauge regulator Rod & Faucet Draft Beer Kit with a 5 pound CO2 tank.

It is still cost effective, but offers benefits you cannot get with a manual pump. If kept cold, a keg can last for weeks with this setup. If you are having a long party or enjoying a break from school or work, this system will keep the keg fresh the entire time. The only thing you have to supply is the keg.

This system is definitely top of the line. It comes with a great double gauge regulator rather than a single gauge like most and it is built to last. You can keep the party going for as long as you want if you hook up this system. Do not let the party be spoiled by old stale beer anymore. This system is the ultimate in party accessories.

If you are hosting parties with a keg, you know that you need a quality pump.

This pump is made of high quality stainless steel and will last for a long time. In addition, the stainless steel is easier to keep clean and more sanitary than another type of material.

Nothing is worse than a keg with a hand tap. No one wants to stand around pumping their beer at a party. It is unnecessary work and can be very messy once the party gets going. Instead of wearing yourself out pumping your own beer, you can really treat your guests by getting a CO2 keg tap. The CO2 is beverage quality, which means it is 99.97% pure. The only work you need to do is installing a CO2 cartridge into the keg and you are ready to go.

The setup is simple, too. One cylinder will dispense a full ½ barrel and will fit any American Sankey keg couple, but will also accommodate other kegs such as a European Sankey, Hoff Stevens, Bass or German Keg Couplers. If you are ready to host the ultimate party, you need to keep away from the manual pumps and go the extra mile with a CO2 keg tap.

Nobody likes ice. No matter what kind of cooler you have, you always seem to end up dumping water on yourself or having it leak all over your car. And it only lasts for a few hours anyways. You end up with warm beer in salty water long before the party is over.

Not only is ice a pain to use, it costs way too much. During special occasions some places will mark their ice bags up to almost $10. But now you can make one payment and have ice for years. Well, not really ice, but something better.

The beer keg insulator is a sheet that can go in any freezer and stays cold for up to 24 hours. Made of heavy duty neoprene, the jacket also fights condensation so you will not end up with water all over everything as it starts to warm up. There is also a slot to keep the ice blanket in place so it will not slide out from underneath the blanket.
