How to Pour a beer - Heineken Mini Keg

[Shyamalz]

yummy alright ! shot bro for the video im on it now haha fucken love kegs much appreciated.

[RonnyVain89]

The Cure?

[EllliotJackRussel3]

Nastro Azzurro: Drink it then tell me how it is..awesome

[ShrinerMcbitey]

@EllliotJackRussel3 I enjoy Peroni ... on tap, kind of similar to Heineken, and Stella Artois. These are all macro brews, not anywhere close to the quality of micro brews. But Peroni is a nice crisp , refreshing beer once in awhile. It's another green glass beer though so must be on tap.

[mariuszimt]

nice house :) 

[DaWeyken]

@Kiratsuchii Easy boy. Looks like you're the only "nazi" here. Well, at least, I am not. I am totally loyal to our constitution. It's not about killing jews or anything - Germany is the place where everybody knows how to drink beer. It's a part of our culture to drink beer out of a glass cup. Seems like you're living in the wrong time - "nazi" shit is gone. Except for some ignorant rednecks that have never heard anything about foreign culture, not even about the countries they are invading.

[ShrinerMcbitey]

For all the people who find it necessary to make hateful comments let me say that Heineken is one beer I occasionally drink. The mini keg allows you to get a nice crisp draft that Heineken in green bottles does not provide. My video is not meant to be a tutorial on proper glassware, nor am I promoting Heineken as the greatest beer.I would personally rate it a C+ / B- beer. I drink many other beers that I enjoy more. In fact I brew my own as well and keg to 5 Gallon Cornelius kegs. Cheers!

[infringinator]

@ShrinerMcbitey do you think i should try the mini keg? I liked it sort of in the glass but now like sam adams over heinekin. Id just like to have a drink thats easy to swallow and gets ya drunk!...or tipsy at least :)

[ShrinerMcbitey]

@infringinator It's pretty easy drinking and does accomplish a real draught beer taste at home so why not try it?

[123kiashi]

Wow you have nice house

[TheMdugan1]

Thats longer then I like to wait for a beer

[pinworms70]

Jesus, drinking Heineken and listening to The Cure...Wheres your pink apron?

[ShrinerMcbitey]

@pinworms70 I believe psychologists would refer to your comment as projection.

[Sonoftoenails93]

@pinworms70 lmao

[21Cmalaise]

wash your glass out with tap water just before pouring and then angle the glass - that's how they do it in the pubs and that's how I get it to work perfectly everytime!

[Kevitivity]

I normally drink Heineken, so when I saw these Draughtkegs at the local supermarket I had to get one. The system works great. However I detected a metallic flavorto the beer that was not present in the bottles (or cans). Has anyone else noticed this?

[AndresLeay]

2 words... Hertog Jan

[AtibbsSPARTAN]

Even better? A keg of OBERON

[ShrinerMcbitey]

@AtibbsSPARTAN Oberon is available in a mini ( 5L) keg, but sadly it is the gravity style - basically open and drink immediately. The Heineken keg system contains a CO2 canister that keeps it carbonated for several weeks. See link to forbes article in expanded video description above.

[ShrinerMcbitey]

@DaWeyken Not plastic, glass/ blue glass. If Heineken was Ayinger Celebrator Doppelbock then I would give it a proper glass ( chalice )

[DarthAlan]

Bad camera angle. I get 80% foam on my pours. Never buying again

[Kranda123]

@DarthAlan You should tilt your glass 45 degrees, tried that? That way you get only 8 -15% foam.

[ShrinerMcbitey]

[gwilly54]

Thank you, for showing me how to pour a beer.

thank u for bringing us heineken beer!

[robwilco1]

This costs like 20 bucks where i live... gift from god

[ibombibomb12]

@robwilco1 where the fuck do you live? these are like 50 dollars in canada 

[robwilco1]

@ibombibomb12 I live in Europe... alcohol is fairly cheap where i live

[ibombibomb12]

@robwilco1 looks like il be moving to europe soon enough

[robwilco1]

@ibombibomb12 dont... its not worth it...

[rhys2040]

2 litres of it is foam. so shit.

[ShrinerMcbitey]

@rhys2040 Learn how to use it

[rhys2040]

@ShrinerMcbitey have. still pretty shit.

[ShrinerMcbitey]

@rhys2040 that's too bad. it took me about a dozen of them to get them to pour perfect. initially the big issue was letting it rest for about 10 hours before pouring and also keeping it in one place stationary.

oh well, not for everyone -

[Parsec994a]

@ShrinerMcbitey Yea, I don't understand why people don't realize its like a huge can of soda. Don't shake it, or you'll get foam! The only thing wrong with it is them. lol

[swlabr21]

@rhys2040 You must let the mini keg set for at least 10 hours before using, unless you enjoy foam.

[gaztown54]

i cant believe that bloke uses a blue glass, blue is the worst colour for any food or drink, look around the supermarkets see how much packaging is in blue. UNBELIEVABE

[Kranda123]

@gaztown54 Lays Paprika :@

[Kranda123]

@rhys2040 Tip for you and everyone else, tilt your glass 45 degrees when pouring. That way you get more beer then foam. Protip :)

[999kes]

Дорогой Хайникен! ОГРОМНОЕ Спасибо за лс телевизор филЛипс(105 см)! спасибо за домашний кинотеатр .... НО ОЧЕНЬ ТЕБЯ ПРОШУ ОТСТАНЬ ОТ МЕНЯ, МНЕ КАЖЕТСЯ У МЕНЯ ЗАКВИСИМОСТЬ... МОНИМАЕШЬ?

[IfLustIsTrust]

Heineken is bullshit, Jupiler ftw, really man! Belgian beer is the best beer

[ShrinerMcbitey]

@IfLustIsTrust Thanks for your opinion. I drink many beers. Heineken is just one. Hovere I feel in the last ten years some of the very best beers are now from US microbrews such as Rogue brewery, Dogfish brewing, Victory brewing, and so on. As for Belgian they are not to my taste in general. i find them to be too "alcohol" dominated. Duvel is ok.

[IfLustIsTrust]

@ShrinerMcbitey

aaaaah, Well i'm belgian and i say That belgian beer's got more flavour in it but that's personal preference man, but if you like duvel you got to try Leffe. Have you ever tried jupiler?

[ShrinerMcbitey]

@IfLustIsTrust Life is filled with many good beers. I will try the beers you mentioned. I suggest you try some of the American craft brews. I do not drink any of the macro brews ( Bud, Miller, Coors, etc) all crap. But some of the US micro brews are truly outstanding.

[cowboy820]

ok how many beers you get outta that, an what is the keg made out of?

[ShrinerMcbitey]

@cowboy820 5liters = 169 ounces or 14 - 12 ounce beers. It's a quality proposition though not a quantity proposition. In other words its about taste. A regular 12 pack would be cheaper and not taste nearly as good. The keg is recyclable steel.

[cowboy820]

@ShrinerMcbitey ohh ok cuz i was lookin at the miller lite one an its plastic. which does not make any sence 2 me.

[ShrinerMcbitey]

@cowboy820 Agreed. I tried the miller lite and the plastic is pretty pathetic to start and then it is filled with tasteless domestic corn filled macro brew. I really wish more of the better beers had the Heineken system. Radeberger in a Heineken style mini keg mmmmmmm or Dogfish IPA. that would be sweet.

[cowboy820]

@ShrinerMcbitey ya i love miller lite, good thing u told me that now im not even gonna waste my time an get 1, but may check out the heinekin, even thow i only drank it once or twice lol. long as its not coors lite an corona im good, lol

[Kevster1993]

The Heineken Keg is The Cure indeed!

(im sorry, i really am)

[ShrinerMcbitey]

@Kevster1993 HA (kind of )

[CheckThisOutFoo]

wow dude, you need to clean your cups better.

[ShrinerMcbitey]

@CheckThisOutFoo oh hey thanks a bunch. i'll get right on that.

[CheckThisOutFoo]

@ShrinerMcbitey Hey serious question: do you think its possible to hook up a camel-back hose to that spout and maybe jerry rig it for continuous flow from the hose if desired?

[ShrinerMcbitey]

@CheckThisOutFoo I actually use the Beertender now but with both the provided plastic tap and the Beertender tap you can "leave the spigot open". Much easier on the Beertender. So I suppose it's possible. I would mention the mini kegs do not like to move around too much so being in a backpack may make for a lot of foam. Good luck!

[3the4truth]

The Cure!!!

[ShrinerMcbitey]

@athiestsshallburn You can drink it but in my opinion it wont taste very good warm. I like it at 36 degrees best. It can also be foamy if it has not settled for awhile. Good luck!

[duif463]

aah you cant do a good beer. and now it not comes from engeland heinken.

[cl0wner]

Mediocre beer!

[ShrinerMcbitey]

@cl0wner A pretty "High school" type comment. There are lots of good beers. Some days maybe I want an Old Rasputin stout or a Dogfish IPA, other I might enjoy a cold Heineken.

[Da52Don]

hey i just had a party with this thing! i have been wanting to get one and it was AWESOME! highly recommended

[MrL3nn]

.... use a propper ice cold heineken glass for that, and you need 2 fingers of foam on top, just a tip to make that delicious dutch lager taste even better!

i should know, im Dutch :)

[ShrinerMcbitey]

@MrL3nn I actually have the beertender machine for the minikeg now. I also generally use the 8 oz Heineken glasses which are great to down quick. That being said I will drink it from a coffee cup if need be. Cheers!

[xXxHanslixXx]

YUMMMMMMMIIIIEEEE!

[BigAgitator]

Gawd!!! I've seen these for sale and I NEED to have one.

[andyperkins99]

nice house bra

[NLal3x]

Nu uh.. You need 2 fingers of foam..

[allyouneedislove8791]

Excellent music and beer choice!!!

[megadeth2thenwo]

If you like ales...newcastle makes 5l kegs :) my personal favorite... damn...I think I need to make trip to the store,.

[ShrinerMcbitey]

@megadeth2thenwo I have tried the New NewCastle 5L ( heineken technology) mini keg. Not a huge Newcastle fan. Would have rather seen them roll out Murphy's Irsih stout, a brand they own that is eleigible for the Heineken mini keg technology. I have also tried the new miller / coors pressurized mini kegs. Work quite well, but the beers ( coors light and miller lite) are pretty weak on flavor.

[dlucci619]

i have a new castle draught keg right now, but its all head. my only complaint is that you didn't do a side view. aside from that, heineken is a good beer and kudos on the decor

[ShrinerMcbitey]

@dlucci619 I tried the Necastle myself, not bad but would have rather they chose Murphys stout for the second beer to get the mini keg treatment. Anyway in regards to your foam issue. I have found these things really like to be stationary for 10 hrs, preferably overnight before pouring. Once you do that it should just be a matter of tilting the glass into the pour ( pour onto the inside galss edge). A little practice helps.

[ShrinerMcbitey]

@dlucci619 Thanks dlucci. These things take practice. I have gone through many many many mini kegs at this poiny. I have used the Beertender dispenser system for the past couple years.

[rysliv]

have fun makin your self more dumb

[ShrinerMcbitey]

@rysliv Oh hey thanks Buzz Killington.

[jesperjesper123]

wOOHOO I'm gonna buy 15liter of beer in those kegs good I'm watching this so I dont mess up :D

[ThrashMetalMilitia]

Your house is awesome i have one of these kegs in the fridge i think they are the same they hold 10 pints right?

[ShrinerMcbitey]

@ThrashMetalMilitia Thanks and you got it man, right about 10 pints ( 169 oz )

[nicklesaj]

If I could just get these in Budweiser...

[thebadroadissuperbad]

haha THE CURE, LOVE SONG! nothing like putting back a couple a beers while listening to some good ol music ! :D

[conman2317]

Bettter in bottles or cans IMO.

Theres always left over beer settled in the bottom of the keg that you can't get because the CO2 runs out

[megadeth2thenwo]

@conman2317 you just need to leave it on at the end...it will spit all the foam out...that is what tuns back into beer :P

[TheGino88888]

thats the weirdes beerglass i ever seen!

[clockmonster786]

Yummy is correct

[paddyscaddy]

These work great in the Paddy's Caddy golf bags for mini kegs!

[taylorzack78]

how much are these now planning on pickin up two

[ShrinerMcbitey]

@taylorzack78 Usually $19

[shefwedlad94uk]

I got one of these for my Birthday... Best gift EVER!!! lol

[MKRM27]

it is just a big can. nothing clever in this system.

[ShrinerMcbitey]

@MKRM27 You should really read the Forbes article ( search forbes heineken mini keg) a lot of design and technology did go into the Heineken system, This is not a 5liter with a pull spigot at the bottom. On another note I recently tried the new Miller Lite(Coors lite also available) keg with co2 insert. The keg worked quite well with little excessive foam. The down side, it's plastic, and filled with tasteless domestic light beer.

[MKRM27]

@ShrinerMcbitey i read the forbes article back in 2007. i was working in an r&d role in the brewing industry in 2005, when heineken launched their unit in europe. it is just a large can, that does not match draught quality dispense. don't believe all you read in pr articles - how naive are you? ps. It is Coors LIGHT, and it not a keg, it is called Home Draft. Why is plastic bad?

[ShrinerMcbitey]

@MKRM27 Dear presumptive Brittish twit,

How naive am I? My comments are based on my experience with the mini keg not from a Forbes article you turd. For the record the product is revolutionary. Only the Guinness draught insert precedes it and of course on a smaller scale. Any way who cares about your negative unsolicited input? You obviously dont know anything if you think plastic is a suitable vessel for any drink plus your mom thinks you are a jerk.

[niceace]

this is such a great video. seems to me like you're playing the perfect beer drinking music. soo melancholy...so introspective.

what song is that you're playing?

also i'd love to get my hands on one of those mini kegs.

[ikeboston]

LOVESONG!

[wildman3dz]

that and an egg sandwich.mmmmmmm.

[wildman3dz]

maybe tomorrow.that looked soooo gooood.

[ariascristianmetal]

Media gay la música jaja

[MrJTMagnum23]

HEY HEY! get your hands off my Heine! getcha pull!

[dcnot420]

thats a clean ass apartment

[ShrinerMcbitey]

You are correct, definitely not the perfect pour, needs more head. The head is actually to protect the beer from air though. Check out the cool article on the mini kegs developement from Frobes, link in the video description (more info)

[amadoglendale]

Heineken, Good beer, taste even better on can.

[TheRUSSIA69]

The Cure rocks!!!

[Emmett06yea]

I'm thinking of getting one for my birthday? Would you recommend? Or should i just but the cans or bottles?

[ShrinerMcbitey]

Recommend it as long as you can leave it chilled in the fridge for at least 10 hours or buy it cold and make sure you move it very little in transport. Tap Heineken tastes way better than bottles or cans.

[21DieselBoy21]

Yea man I can't use these worth shit. Any pointers?

[ShrinerMcbitey]

Original posts go over this but in short try and place it in the fridge for a night before tapping. When pouring tilt he glass into the tap and pour into the sid eof the glass slowly straigthening the glass as it fills. You will ge the hang of it in time.

[cobraxspeed]

I had one of these for christmas.....like going to the pub at home..just the best.

And yes the pull/pour is key to enjoyment

thanks for the movie.

[Allenthetiger101]

they are gd kegs

[Eric1HBK2]

Yummmmyyyyy hahaha

[TGordon2o3]

5 stars for the cure..

[ShrinerMcbitey]

My fat hand? Gee thanks.

[bpmagruder]

It would have been nice to actually see the beer being poured and how you work the spout. All I can see is your hand.

[thanatos101]

i love how you just made all the people bitching about how this keg never works look like fools

thanks for showing that this keg is yummy when you know how to do it right

you just saved me time on making a video like this thanks homes :)

[ShrinerMcbitey]

They are damn good.

[strazzy3]

4get the Heineken.........nice house bro !!!!

[ShrinerMcbitey]

Strazzy, houses like mine are now free, damn near,in southwest Florida.

[strazzy3]

And that means what to me ???? Absolutely nothing!!!!..........bcuz i live in the west indies and i ain't got a US greencard or visa............BUT SURE WISH I DID, those things are "DAMN NEAR" hard to come by !

[ShrinerMcbitey]

A little harsh. Where is West Indies. I have been to St Lucia.

[ShrinerMcbitey]

Where IN

[monkey298]

i just bought one of these kegs

Its sitting next to me now

an d i am SUPER FUCKING PISSED

its nothing but a foam spitting dragon

how the hell do i defoam this bitch

????

please help

so far its been nothing but a waste of 20 bucks

=(((((

[ShrinerMcbitey]

Sorry to hear that monkey.. You should generally buy these cold... take care not to move them around too much and let them sit stationary as long as you can before tapping. After that you just need to pour into the side of the glass,. Just like you would pour from a real tap. Don't give up on them as they are quite delicious when poured proper.

[ot2kloon]

lawl on the front it says tapvat:D so its realy dutch^^

[franky6581]

Defining Heineken as a "beer" should be illegal.

[RisBo21]

Love the Heineken, and the Cure is great too with it..

[ismasamov55]

wow,you smart

[Toca91]

can i later open it when it gets empty to put some more beer inside??

[ShrinerMcbitey]

No, not refillable a sthey contain a special insert to pressurize. See the links in the description for info on the inner wokings and cheers!

[tmcmanus916]

And yay! you still get to drink crap beer!..move on to better stuff

[wholikesjello]

[ShrinerMcbitey]

Greetings brother.

[drfrisby]

[ShrinerMcbitey]

Is that an invite? Korean beef bbq?

[highlandcommando]

[NZN5555]

Dude you are my herooooo.. I've been a Heineken fan since I've started drink'n .. it's the best beer ever .. Here's to you lol

[hungariangoat]

what song is that in the background ?

[b0bbydigital151]

LOVE SONG MY THE CURE!

[happyicecream1234]

Love Song - The Cure.

[turdburglar316]

ummm u should get some beer glasses = /

[ShrinerMcbitey]

Thanks I actually just got the 8 oz Heineken glasses. they work well and keep the pour cold all the way down. God bless the beertender!

[markjurrens]

Flash cooling it in the freezer reduced the settling time significantly. I was up and running in 3 hours with no excessive head after. Just make sure not freeze it and take the tap off while it is cooling or it may get beer frozen in the tubes. If you forget, remove it and thaw it using warm water.

[markjurrens]

Lol I should have bought bottles, the settling time is ridiculous 10 hours? The first glass was all head. I threw mine in the freezer to flash cool it. Get the bottles to drink for the night and one of these to try another day.

[ShrinerMcbitey]

I have made that very suggestuion to friends trying it fo rthe first time, grab a 6 or 12 pack to drink till the mini keg is ready for use.

[Pythoni]

hehe 1:02

[s0096901]

just wondering, after opening first time, how many days can we store keg in the refrigerator????

[ShrinerMcbitey]

30 days after tapping.

[barnett682]

fuck the "head" just drink up!!!

[motokid032]

Drive like a grandfather on the way home.

[pheonix11525]

horrible camera angle

[martijn1415]

dude that isn't 2 fingers of foam

[FenderGuy33]

good man

[ItsMeFrom071]

More foom !

[Frankiej020]

indeed

[teglaalatt]

what's the name of the song?

[Richjluna]

The Cure!

[KruBruder]

Does anyone ever have a problem with the co2 leaking out? I've poured 1 glass the other day and it was fine but today I got 1/2 a glass and it stopped. This thing is almost full and frosty and I'm ready to pull out the can opener.

[teglaalatt]

we had. so we had to open it...check my profile, there's a video how we did it...: )

[depoty]

If I can just add that 5 Litres is just under 9 pints ! 8.8 pints to be exact.

So in the UK, its £1.56 a pint @ £14.00 per keg !

ps, the first pour will be foamy as the initial gas build up escapes.

So..

1. First pour a cup full amount into a glass

2. Then let the keg settle for 5 minutes

3. Pour a great pint with 1 inch head on !

[ShrinerMcbitey]

depoty, thanks for your input. Glad you are enjoying a cold one. Tell me, can you still get Watney's cream stout? I have not seen it in decades here in the states.

[depoty]

Watneys sold out years ago late 80s..shame really.

remember...

"avin a party...take ome a watneys !

another one was "Beer at home...Davenports...cheers"

Maccies or Mackesons stout is still going though..still in those little black cans too !

Remem
