Review on 🍺 Stainless Steel Mini Keg Portable Draft System by Keg Smiths, 128 oz. by Lynn Cook

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Doesn't work as advertised

I bought this product expecting a local brewery's beer to stay fresh and affordable for about five days remains. The product did not quite meet my expectations. First, when I inserted the faucet into the keg, all of the components leaked and the beer spilled onto my kitchen counter. Second, when I turned on the faucet, so much foam came out that I couldn't enjoy the beer. I followed the manufacturer's instructions to keep the PSI at 5-8. Either the PSI display was defective or the product shakes the beer too much. I thought the foam was temporary because I just put the faucet in the barrel, but I was wrong. For the next three days the keg continued to produce a ton of foam until I finished my beer. To make matters worse, the beer no longer tasted fresh on the third day. Despite the head of foam, the beer lacked carbon dioxide and had an unpleasant aftertaste. So if you expect your beer to stay fresh for up to five days as advertised, this product will not live up to your expectations. Finally, this product is very difficult to store. It's so big it won't fit in regular fridges unless a few shelves are removed. The crane is also very free. When I tried to put a keg of beer in the fridge, the faucet shut off and the beer spilled all over the fridge and garage. All in all, I probably wasted two pints of beer between the foam head, the leaking components and the faucet spilling. I am returning this product. I suggest you spend your money on a regular growler. This product will not work any better and will only cause headaches.
