How long does a keg last once tapped?
Since a picnic pump uses oxygen instead of carbon dioxide, a tapped keg will only last about 12-24 hours depending on the type of beer and how much oxygen was pumped into it. The oxygen will cause the beer to go flat and spoil quickly if you don’t finish the keg within that time frame.
Should CO2 be turned off on a kegerator?
Technically speaking, the components of a kegerator will not allow CO2 passed the coupler when it is not hooked to a keg. However, just in case a gasket or o ring does not make a tight seal, shutting the CO2 off will prevent you from losing your CO2 while you do not have a keg hooked up.

What PSI should a kegerator be?
between 5 and 12 PSI
Beer can be pushed at anywhere from 4 PSI to 14 PSI, but most kegerators work best between 5 and 12 PSI. You should compensate for the size of your beer lines – the bigger the inner diameter of the beer line, the more pressure that should be used to push the beer.
Why does my kegerator beer taste flat?
If your beer is pouring slow and flat, the issue is most likely in the line. Lines that are too long or too thin, or both, will slow the flow of beer down too much, and knock too much co2 out of solution before it reaches the tap. So, as you pour, your beer will be less carbonated than it is in the keg.
What PSI should beer be carbonated at?

What should the CO2 pressure be for draft beer?
between 12-14 lbs
Any change in the CO2 level will alter the taste, pouring characteristics and appearance of the beer. Most breweries in the U.S. recommend a CO2 pressure between 12-14 lbs for ale and lager types of draft beers. This CO2 pressure will maintain the level of carbonation specified by the brewery.
