Can A Keg Be Tapped Twice? Unlocking The Secrets Of Repeated Tapping

“How many times can you reuse a keg?” is a common question that arises when considering the sustainability of stainless steel kegs. These kegs are built to last for over 30 years and are typically capable of being used approximately 120 times during their lifespan. This robust reusability not only demonstrates the durability of these containers but also plays a significant role in reducing the demand for new containers. By encouraging repeated use of these returnable kegs, we contribute to a more sustainable approach, conserving both energy and resources in the process. This environmentally friendly practice aligns with our commitment to reducing our ecological footprint.

What happens to a keg once it’s tapped? When you use a party pump to tap a keg, the beer inside it will only stay fresh for a maximum of 24 hours. It doesn’t matter how well you chill the beer; it will inevitably lose its carbonation and become flat within a day or two, unlike the traditional draft dispensing system that utilizes CO2 or nitrogen to keep the beer fresh.
