Half keg?

[hardrock]

I've got about a half of a 16 gal keg leftover from yesterday. Will this still be good next weekend? I gave it a good 20 pumps to pressurize it before I pulled the tap off. I was just gonna toss it, but figured if it holds for a week, thats free beer next weekend.

Anybody know?

What if it's not kept cold? The only way I can keep it cold that long is to empty my fridge and throw it in there, and I'm not going without a fridge till Saturday. Was thinking opf throwing it in Thursday evening and then putting it in an ice tube Saturday after work.

What ya think?

if u let it get warm it will skunk it...out it in a garbage can closed with ice in it

You don't even need ice. Garbage can with some water and a cool dark place.

^^^I disagree, the water will suck the coldness out of the keg. Garbage can with ice.


-----> from google
Most domestic draft beer is not pasteurized, so it must be kept cold. The temperature of the beer must be maintained between 36-38°F all the way to the point of dispense. Temperatures above 38°F will cause foam and promote sour/cloudy beer. When temperature rises above 50-55°F, bacteria growth rapidly begins to spoil flavor and cloud the beer. Simply put, keg beer storage can be compared to milk storage: "if it is not kept cold, it will spoil."

If dispensing with CO2, and maintained at the proper temperature( 36-38°F)and pressure( between 12-14 Lbs) :

Non-pasteurized draft beer (most domestic keg beers) will remain fresh for about 45-60 days.

chemically aged beer will spoil...we just tried this with a mini keg and it went to skunk in 12 hrs

Well, put it on ice last night. Just poured a beer to check it out. Tastes fine, but flat. Fuck it, I'm going to the store.
