Things You Need:

Plastic bucket or tub
30 lb. Ice
The beer keg

Step 1: You need to decide where you want to place the keg for the party because moving it around will be a problem. Place the bucket or the tub there.

Step 2: Now take the beer keg and place it at the center of the tub. Make sure there is space between the keg and the sides of the tub.

Step 3: Set up the keg in a convenient way: Place the keg tap, if the hose and nozzle are attached, position the tap so that it is easy to access.

Step 4: Just before your guests begin to arrive, pour ice around the keg and into the tub. Fill the tub completely with ice. Also pour the ice over the keg and around the tap.

Step 5: Keep adding ice throughout the evening so that the beer always remains chilled. Also remember to dump the melted water regularly and replace it with ice.
