HOW TO TAP A KEG

• Chill your keg to 36-38°F. One hour before the party, fill the bottom of a tub with two large bags of ice. 
• Add the keg and pour three bags of ice around the keg. 
• Keep the picnic pump (the "tapper") cold and run cold water through the lines prior to tapping your keg to prevent overfoaming when you pour. 
• Remove the cap from the top of the barrel and position the pump at the opening. 
• Turn the valve clockwise until it stops and the tap is secure. 
• Pump four times to pressurize the keg. 
• Insulate the keg by wrapping a blanket over the top of the keg. 
• Pour. Enjoy. Pour. Enjoy.
