Beer Help
Terranosaurus:
Commercial kegged beer will last a good few weeks to a few months but thats cos its pasturised stuff like lager, John Smiths smooth etc.
Cask ales will last around a week in favourable conditions, perhaps as much as 12 days if you're lucky. As you're asking about a hand pump I assume you are after a real ale.
Is this for next years Mac? If so can I have the overnight pitch next to yours? Though more seriously, of course real ales need settling for 12-24hrs before serving. Once got one fresh from brewery (picked it up in a taxi myself) and had it on and serving inside 30mins but that had a massive dose of finings in it to do that and it was xmas eve in the middle of Leeds and everyone was some what merry already.

:lol: :lol: :lol: the vehicle in question will be on the mac with a fitted pump :lol: :lol: saves the walk to the pub that way
in all seriousness it needs to last a good few weeks to close on a month because the idea of it is for camping out in wild places ( not to get drunk and drive, but to have a sociable drink round a camp fire that works of cheaper than cans for everyone,
yes you can have the pitch next to us :lol: it'll be a camper van 4x4 so we wont need set up a tent again :twisted:
so its looking like john smiths or a simular drink and not real ales then? would black sheep last as long as john smiths ( it being the best out of al the beers )
cheers kieran

I believe you can buy it 'bright', i.e. without the finings. I don't know whether you can drink this instantly after a day in the back of a leaf sprung Land Rover, but it certainly reduces the amount of time needed it to settle.
Alternatively use the rural pubs, or get a take out, they need our support at the moment!
