Summary: Foam & heinekin Light Question
Comment: I enjoy the Heinekin draft beer, but two problems hope someone can help with. 1. The first third of the keg is very very foamy. I and my Bartender friend have tried drawing many different ways. Nothing works to control Foam. 2. live in MN and cannot get Heinekin Light in Keg. Anybody know why?

Summary: More of a Novelty than Anything Else
Comment: I bought the BeerTender for my hubby because he loves Heineken and I was sick of recycling all the bottles and cans. I wanted to get a different brand of beer dispenser because I read some so-so reviews of the BeerTender plus I wanted one that would handle ANY brand of mini-keg (just in case) and didn't want to buy the tubes necessary for it. However, the other dispensers were pretty much available only in Europe!
Hubby does enjoy the BeerTender, but it foams a LOT and you have to use a new tube each time (I have to buy the tubes online because they aren't sold locally). The 30-day countdown readout (as mentioned in other reviews) doesn't work on ours either. And, you have to take the keg into the liquor store to get your deposit back rather than running it through the recycling machines. Kind of a hassle.
Overall, it's entertaining, looks good on the bar and the tubes work fine, but I'm buying a different one if we ever move to Europe!

Comment: Heinekin BT10001 BeerTender Tubes, for using with the BeerTender, are fine. I have no problem with them at all.

Summary: Heineken BeerTender Disposable Taps
Comment: If you love beer as much as I do, then you won't be disappointed in the new Heineken Mini Draft Machine for the home bar. I really think that Heineken hit a home run with this machine. I would prefer that they create a beer tube that was "washable and reusable", but the cost is no issue here and the ease of use makes it a mute point.

Summary: Reusable If You're Careful
Comment: The BeerTender recommends using a new tube for each mini-keg, and at about a dollar each that's not a big deal. However, if you have run out of tubes, or just want to be thrify, they can easily be reused at least a couple times. Here's how:
o Put the empty mini-keg in a sink.
o With the tube's spout pointing toward the drain, push the two white barrel fittings together. This manually operates the tap to relieve pressure in the mini-keg.
o Wait a few seconds for all the foam to drain out.
o Use a screwdriver or butter knife to remove the top part of the tap. There are three tabs on this gray cover piece; pry back one or two to lift it off.
o Remove the part still attached to the mini-keg by pushing back the tabs holding it to the top of the keg. Use a screwdriver or butter knife on the inside part of the tap - accessible with the cover removed - to release these tabs.
o Thoroughly rinse the tap, tube, and spout. With the barrel connectors still pushed together, run a stream of water into the spout and it should drain through the tube and out the small holes in the tap.
o Snap the cover piece back onto the tap with the larger hose cut-out aligned with the tube.
o Pull the barrel connectors apart to manually close the tap to make it ready it for the next mini-keg. Be sure the whole thing is very clean, especially if not using immediately.
I've used one tap three or four times, and it still works fine (no leaks, similar pour). I suspect they recommend using a new one every time because it can be messy removing it from the mini-key and the potential for it to get moldy if not cleaned.
Don't forget the part about relieving the residual pressure, or you will probably have a beer geyser when the gray cover is removed.
