Keg question
Posted on 6/14/21 at 1:52 pm
Posted on 6/14/21 at 1:52 pm
I got two kegs for a party over the weekend, and finished one. Now I have an untapped Keg outside where its 100 degrees so its hard to keep it iced down. What should I do? Spent $200 so I really dont wanna just say frick it, but its costing me $20-30 a day in just ice.
If it goes to room temp(more like outside in shade temp) is the keg undrinkable?

Bring it inside so you don’t have to use so much ice?

You need better or more friends. Not much you can do besides drink it or keep it cold until you drink it.

Ya thought about that, but still isn't ideal. My wife wouldn't be too happy.

Garage? Put some towels over it as well to hold in the cool.

Ice it down in the bathtub. Tell the wife it's freaking temporary until you get shite faced and empty the thing.

Couple of questions need to be answered before this can be answered.
1. Was the keg tapped with a hand pump? If yes, then the oxygen that is now inside with 100% skunk the beer if it gets warm. Will eventually skunk the beer but keeping it cold will slow down this process.
2. What kind of beer? BMC lagers or anything not hoppy should do just fine warming up some. Obviously you don't want it to bake in the sun, but gentle temp fluctuations won't harm it too much. Take for example Coors claims it is bottled cold but you can buy it on a shelf warm. Chances are that beer was in a warm warehouse, warm truck, room temp store, in your trunk, in your fridge/ice chest, left over in ice chest for days, cooled again, and will still taste fine. If the beer was hoppy then you probably lose more from temp fluctuations but it will still be generally fine.

A beer's biggest enemies are heat, light, and oxygen. If it was never tapped, its completely fine at room temperature. Bring it inside, and put it in a closet or something. Break it out at the next party, ice it down, tap it, and it will drink fine.... Make sure you ice it down at least a day in advance though, as the CO2 will need to be reabsorbed back into the beer. The temperature drop will give it time to do this. 2 days would be evn better. If you don't do this, the keg will be really pressurized, your beer will be foamy as shite, and it will taste flat when it finally settles.
Outside, in LA heat, its going to taste terrible when you finally tap it. Even if its in the shade, I'd imagine it would still get to upper 80s.

I’m boiling a few hundred lbs of crawfish Wednesday. Bring it over and we will take care of it for you.
