How long do Mini Kegs last?
Figure 6 to 12 uses, depending on how well you care for them. They are steel with a lacquer-lined interior, and will eventually rust at the seams or where a dent occurs. Cleaning thoroughly after use, using Keg Lube on the lip of the bung sealing hole, and letting them dry thoroughly will extend their life closer to the 12 uses than the six. You will know a Mini Keg is rusting when the beer gets a slight metallic taste, or by peering through the bung hole with a small flashlight for spots of rust.
