Last weekend, I picked up a box of "junk" at a garage for $1.00. In this box were sets of faucets, shanks, sanke pump and some other strange faucet. My thought was to make a portable kegerator for my two 3 gallon kegs. I took them home and started cleaning them (they were very dirty) and I realized the faucets have some pitting and the insides are all brass.
Now I know I can replace the shaft with a stainless steel one, but is it needed for a portable draft system that is only hooked up for a day or weekend at most? Does the metalic tast come from sitting on the brass for an extended period or will the beer pick it up faster?
