Beer Tap - Draft Beer On Board

[capta]

Operated many a power boat with beer on tap, but they usually have a generator or two running 24/7. Never seen it on a sailboat, though.

Jeezus! Seriously? On tap? This explains EVERY story about bad powerboating!

I am sure that capta was referring to being a charter boat captain. Seems like a lot of you sailboat guys/gals have a real problem with power boats. Remember it is not the craft, it's the operator. I have meet quite a few sail boaters that fit the anal category. That being said I do stay away from Yacht Clubs, as I find a lot of those migrate there.

And I am of course just kidding! I am also a powerboat owner! I love my little motor boat. It gets me on the water when there is no wind!

Boy you can sure tell it is January, with boats on the hard, too cold to go to the marina, 860+ views and 64 replys.. This thread will continue until at least the end of February!

I think I am going to open a bear and read some more.

open a bear

Sounds dangerous!

Not if you get him opened! Prior to that, he’s all claws and teeth... oh wait, he may be hibernating! That will simplify things!

Was wondering about a keg and tap on board.

Now that’s what I’m talking about!

 

[NotCook]

Jviss, don't know what your water temp is in Massachusetts...

Wouldn’t work down here! Water temp is usually in the 78-82 range. Hard enough to keep the fridge compressor cooled down!

 

[NotCook]

When I was there and drank beer, it seemed cold to me and not room temp.

It was probably “cellar temperature “, which was probably in the mid to high 50’s.

Jviss, don't know what your water temp is in Massachusetts, but most of the summer we serve beer about water temp (60 or so)

about right for Massachusetts waters too.

How long do you need to keep on tap beer cold? How big are your tanks?
Really, any insulated blanket would probably do it until the beer was out, two or three hours, easy.

If it's good beer, it's not important to keep it cold.

I modified my stock kegerator with a triple tower and CO2 manifold, and usually keep 3 of the tall skinny sanke, or home brew cornelius kegs in it. Under refrigeration and constant CO2 pressure, I have had beer last over 1 year without going bad. (It was a retail beer I didn't really like but bought for a party because a close friend liked it. Michelob Ultra Yuk LOL)

 

[justsomeguy]

I've brought beer (good beer) back from the dead.


Boo!

Really. That’s what the Boate Babe was drinking in the last picture.

Maybe there is “a game afoot” here.

No accountin' for taste.

I finally used it up for cooking (Low country shrimp boils, and pressure cooker beer onions).

Good for streaming corn on the cob too.

Ok. I know onion rings. And beer battered onion rings... What is a Beer Onion.

My wife loves these. Slice up a couple of onions into a pressure cooker or crock pot. Cover them in beer. Add some Cajun Seasoning (Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning, etc) to taste. Cook until really tender.

We use them on pan seared or grilled fish, burgers, brats, etc.
