does this keg need a tap?

No it has a vent you open in the top, And a little plastic tap that you turn to open and close built in. It works pretty well.

It does not need a tap. It has one integrated into the keg. And, as an aside, it is a wild party add-on, highly recommended.

No it does not. It has a built in tap at the bottom. All you need is the keg and a glass(:

No, it has a vent on top and a little pull out spigot. Great rootbeer in a fun sized little keg!

Yes but you would need lomger tubing and a way to close the seal on top of the kegorator to hold in the coolant (like a diaphram). If you wanted to keep the tap tower attached to the kegorator to avoid this, then you would need a taller tap tower as you would lose height running it through a counter top (iow, you wouldn't have enough room below the tap tower to dispense a beer).

SAME PROBLEM HERE NEVER HAD GONE THRU A KEG WITHOUT HAVING TO RESET IT AND IT ONLY WORKED 10% OF THE TIME ,I THINK ITS DESIGN FLAW

you would drill a hole through the bar, the beer hoses would go through the hole and into a refrigeration unit. You would then screw the tap in place into the bar. I have mine screwed directly to the top of my kegerator with 2 five gallon kegs and the co2 tank inside.

This regulator connects to the CO2 gas tank. It does not directly hook up to the (beer) barrel. There is a flexible gas hose that runs from this regulator to the barrel tapping device. (sankey tap) Sankey taps come in European, American and some other styles also. This may not thread on to a european co2 gas tank, it may be metric. Good luck.

I replaced a single tap with a double tap on my danby kegerator and it fits perfectly. I also added dual regulators to control both kegs. and the only issue I had was getting two lines of CO2 into the back. I had to replace the existing hose with a more flexible one and managed to get both through the hole. If you are not using dual regulators you can tee off on the inside. Hope this helps.

Mine did. Be careful with these though. Make sure not to mix up the posts, poppits, or dip tubes. You may get different brands of keg, and the parts are not always interchangeable.

Yes, but a hole would have to be cut for the tap (which is the worst tap I've ever seen). Mine had to be replaced to something that didn't break apart every time you pulled the handle and sprayed beer all over the place.

Yes, it is. You can get a tap system like the Edgestar mini kegerator that comes with a conversion kit for non-heinekin mini kegs. Research it on the internet for more info, there are videos that show how to do it.

Yes, I do add surgar in various forms to the mini keg in addition to the freshly fermented beer. This carbonates the beer as the included co2 cartridges are not intended for the purpose of forced carbonation. Let the beer and surgar sit in the keg another week or two to carbonate. I kept my mini keg in a fridge and the beer stayed good for months under pressure at cool temps.

To use a Guinness faucet you need a "U" tap and "U" taps do not work on regular CO2 beer. Do a google search on beer tap types.

Usually there are rubber washers on the side that screws into the shank, but also there are rubber washers to where the hose connects to the sankey taps. Just put the rubber washers inside the circle before screwing the fittings onto the sankey keg tap. It is just like the rubber washers that are inside of garden hoses.

The co2 from brewing will create enough pressure to force the liquid out first, since the intake valve is at the bottom of the tank. The co2 cartridge is really a propellant, push the liquid out but not altering the co2 content of the liquid. You want to have o2 in the tank for brewing, but once you "tap" the tank, clear the lines, and "charge" it with co2, the o2 is gone and it won't ferment

I'm no sure, I just used plastic tubing and set the pressure of the keg to about 3-5 psi and it worked great!

You would need the accessory kit for any non-pressurized keg. I am even going one step further and getting nalgene plastic growlers from my favorite local brewer and directly tapping them. I had to engineer a rubber stopper with a hole in the middle that would fit the growler though. You might be able to buy something like that even. The reason: The growler is dishwasher safe and much easier to clean than those damn mini kegs.

I did not but I've only had two heinikken kegs. I mostly use my own with the co2 attachment.

Yes. Perfectly. To make it work more efficiently I removed the burner, flipped the whole thing upside down and reinstalled the burner on the top. This brings it closer to the bottom of the pot since kegs have that lip on the bottom.
