Hey Jason @Bartending Pro, ive been educating myself with your videos and taking your advice at my job. Its a movie theater that serves food and drinks. Afrer watching your videos, i have been asking co-workers questions about what i learned from your videos. My bosses seem to have been imprrssed and told me thst when the next position opens up, they will be training me at the bar!! Im so excited and greatful i ran across your video. I know bartending is going to be a fun and prosperous career for me. Its with my hars work combined with the knowledge i gained from watching your videos, that i locked this great opportunity in for myself. Im so appreciative, Thankyou so so so so so much!!! I wish all the best things for you, thankyou thankyou thankyou for making all those wonderful videos!!!!💖✨💫🌟💞🌵🐢🎉

[@ysf-psfx]

We have a couple of European style nitro taps that slide on instead of screwing on... I actually like them a lot more. Also, what about flushing the line to get the beer flowing again? Most places I've seen, there's a fob connected between the keg and the tap that regulates the flow and you have to flush the line a bit to get the pressure equalized.

[@gretelheinmoss6847]

Thank You that was easy enough - Thank You so much!!!!! Had a function had to change it myself didnt know it had to clip down!!!! Amazing life saver!

[@BartendingPro]

You're welcome!

[@Real_Nutella]

Okay we have the exact same kegs and handle as you but the beer won't flow through the tube. Is there a better way to do this?

[@Riegod]

Great video

[@BartendingPro]

Any time...:)

[@GrimSoul66]

Your phone really makes me want an ice-cream sandwich. But there are a lot more keg taps than this even though this is the most common I have seen.

[@culture4519]

Dude holy shit game changer here I’ve been doing it with it still locked and I get sprayed with beer every time, everyone thinks it’s totally normal

[@BartendingPro]

Hahaha, epic. Glad you'll no longer suffer beer showers anytime you change the keg. 🍻

[@ianburne751]

Not quite correct! Beer kegs are pressurised with gas to push the beer out of the keg to the bar dispense tap. So you should turn off the gas to that empty keg before disconnecting the keg coupler in case of escaping gas. There should always be a cellar boy between the keg and the tap to stop the beer line completely emptying and causing foaming when a new barrel is connected. I might have to start my own channel to give people the correct where are you to do these things

[@BartendingPro]

You are right in the you could have those extra steps to prevent gas escaping... but bar owners don't want to pay for a mechanism that isn't completely necessary. You can simply make sure the handle is completely in the "up" release position and it will stop momentary gas release. Besides, it's only off for a few seconds, you're not loosing significant amounts of gas even when it hisses. At every bar I've ever worked at, this is how you changed kegs. Is that every bar? No. Tomato tomatoe brother... as with everything bartending, there is no right or wrong, there is only, "it depends on where you work". So for most, this will be correct. Let me know if you start that channel, we can colab

[@ipwnyouriphone]

you're the best!

[@KevinoftheCosmos]

I already knew how to do this but you deserve a thumbs up anyway.

[@BartendingPro]

Terrapin? I'm not sure what you mean, haha...

[@townie1927]

Your phone looks like an ice cream sandwich

[@adriennegriffiths7166]

[@marymotherofgod4861]

Hey J 😍

[@edisonlin]

me being the idiot i am forgot to pull the lever. It was a sad day...

[@sethb1689]

Changed a keg for the first time today and made the same mistake, luckily i was able to save it and only a small amount was lost.

[@HolyCity2012]

"Terrapin"......?

[@JuanRamirez-gu7dh]

tapping a Guinness keg is not exactly the same as this. neither is anchor steam keggs or European sliders.

[@JABJABRIGHTCROSS]

[@darkemperor4207]
