Draft beer tip
Submitted by cflinch on Wed, 01/26/2011 - 11:10am.Unless it is a one day event where the entire keg will be consumed, it is always best to use CO2 or blended gas to dispense your beer. This helps keep the beverage fresh and prevents the beer from spoiling. No one wants to drink something that tastes like cardboad.
