Enjoying a fresh pour from your Game Day on Tap Mini Keg is easy with a few simple setup steps!
Follow this guide to ensure your mini keg is ready to serve your favorite drinks.
1. Unpacking the Components
- Begin by unpacking your Game Day on Tap and making sure all parts are included:
- Hose
- Extra gaskets (for both the main unit and the regulator)
- Spear valve
- Brass mounting piece for the regulator
- Handle
- Faucet
2. Preparing the Hose
- Cut the Hose to Length: Insert the hose until it reaches the bottom of the keg, then cut it to the right length.
- Attach to the Spear Valve: Twist the hose around the spear valve tip for an easy, secure fit.
3. Assembling the Spear Valve
- Add the O-ring: Place the O-ring on the spear valve's threaded section.
- Tighten with the Neural Nut: Position the threaded piece inside the neural nut, then screw them onto the spear valve. Snug this down, then tighten with the threaded ring.
4. Filling Your Mini Keg
- Now, with the setup in place, fill your keg with your favorite beverage or brew. Ensure the spear valve and hose are properly assembled for an optimal pour.
5. Final Assembly
- Insert the spear valve and hose into the keg and tighten down the valve securely.
- Add the Faucet: Attach the faucet, keeping it vertical. Secure it with its locking ring.
- Attach the Handle: Screw on the handle and lock it in place, ensuring it’s secure.
6. Setting Up the Regulator
- Attach the Brass Fitting: Screw the brass fitting for the regulator onto the spear valve. It should be snug, with the knob facing up.
- Insert the CO₂ Cartridge: Screw the CO₂ cartridge into the regulator until it’s firmly in place. You might hear a slight hiss as it seals.
7. Adjusting Pressure for Serving
- Set Initial PSI: Turn the knob on the regulator counterclockwise to close, then clockwise to open to a setting of 3-5 PSI.
- Bleed Excess Pressure: Pull the ring to release any excess pressure, then set the PSI back to 5. Wait for two minutes, and your keg is ready to serve!
- Adjust the PSI as needed for desired flow rate.
8. Storing Your Mini Keg
- If you have any beverage left, simply store the entire keg in the refrigerator to keep it fresh for your next pour.
Now you’re all set to enjoy a perfectly poured beverage anytime!
