I'm working on putting together my keg system and have a question regarding disabling the taps. I'm planning on keeping my keggerator outside during the summer, but I'd prefer for a variety of reasons, to not have the taps active at all times.
I've never kegged before, so I'm not entirely sure of how the dispensing system works. If I just shut off the CO2 valve when I'm done for the day, will that pretty much turn off the taps once the CO2 in the keg is spent? If so, how much Co2 stays in the tank, enough for just one glass, or could you pour a couple?
I see that various stores sell tap locks, but I'd prefer not to spend the $40 or so each on the two or three taps I'm planning on having.
