I've always found the beer from a mini keg tastes better on the second day after opening the the keg. Perhaps becuase when you open a keg, I think, the yeast sediment gets disturbed then by the following day it settles back down again.
I was reading about how pubs vent their cask/kegs the other day. So I thought I'd have a go with a mini keg. Yesterday I opened the bung/vent of a recently filled MK, let the C02 out then closed it again before putting it in the fridge. I'll see if it's made any sort of difference later this eve when I tap a pint.
The instructions for mini kegs on the adnams site actually say to do the above;

2. Ventilate the mini cask by lifting the top tab and turn from 0 to 1. Allow the beer inside the mini cask to settle for 24 hours.
.
Anyone else vent their mini kegs?
