I have a sanke keg and a hand pump type of tap. The air pump unscrews from the tap coupler. Is there any reason I should not connect my CO2 line to the pump input so I can dispense with CO2 and not ruin the beer? There seems to be a little button on the side of the coupler that will relieve...

Mine was flat in March and is more carbonated now. It also has a little bit of a head as well. Time matters.
