Cask Beer

[NIU_Brew84]

Anyone had success using a cask system? I was looking at the one on Northern Brewer (I'd also prefer to find a cheaper alternative if you know of any) and thinking about investing in one. Once tapped, how long will it keep before it goes flat/gets oxidized?

you have 2-3 days, 3 is pushing it. You can use an aspirator to prolong the life of the cask. http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/aspirator-valve.html

Getting into cask beer is expensive, I dont think you are going to find a much better deal
