So its friday night and the postie didn't come and you have your kegs chilled + carbed and ready to go but you don't have a tap to pour your liquid gold.
It is indeed possible but very messy and finicky, make sure you have a clean cloth ready to mop up the mess!

This is how I got around it, all you need is a disconnect an a length of beer line.

(my apologies if this has been done already, the search function didn't pickup anything)

Step
1) Vent the keg
2) Liberally apply starsan
3) Adjust regulator
4) Put the end of the line in the cup and then put the disconnect on the keg
5) Apply gas to get the beer flowing, but not to much otherwise you will just get head.
6) At the last second remove beer disconnect to stop the beer flowing.
7) Arain the beer line+ disconnect and rinse.
8) Re apply pressure to you keg to keep it carbed.
9) Wipe up any spills
10) Drink!!!
 
Hope the posties bringing glasses too, eh? :icon_cheers:
 
Thanks for the consern mate, :beerbang:
It will end up in the collar so its only temporary.

I terminated it with no copper showing out the back; ie the insulation goes right up to the terminals (I show it in my thermostat freezer video).
The plastic backing is also on it to.

Cant wait for the seals for my floryte tap!
