Can you serve draft beer from a home brew keg coupler?

Question

What are the implications of this? I'm writing an article for a client and have to do my own research...having difficulty finding answers. Help, homebrew oficianados!!

Answer 1

I'm not entirely following you on this but a 5 gallon keg is a 5 gallon keg, much like a euro sankey is a euro sankey.  The contents found therein have very little to do with the way the keg can/will operate.  You can have a full blown nitro tap for homebrew if you really wanted to.

Answer 2

Not if you are refering to the actual keg "tap." The equipment to tap a large commercial beer keg is differnet than the smaller homebrew keg taps.

You can use the same spout for each but not tap the keg with same coupler.

Answer 3

Yes.
