The tap your talking about it used as a dispensing preasure, fill the area with air and liquid will come out. That method with properly chilled beverage will only last a couple days, 4 tops in the perfect conditions. I would reccomend a C02 system and an old fridge with some holes drilled. The beverage that way would last a month or two (like it would last that long). The biggest reason the college tap wont work is it introduces oxygen to the product and actually breaks it down, the same principle that happens to a 2 liter soda bottle when opened. The C02 method replaces c02 with c02 making it so the product will not break down. The other aspect is keeping the beverage at the correct temperature. If it is not then the product will breakdown even quicker. This goes for any beverage, c02 or not. You need to keep it cool for the full life otherwise it will taste like crap.
