I have a Balliihoo Presure Keg the one with the float in See link

I have just filled it with beer up to the 40 pint mark and added the priming sugar put the lid on top and tightened it. So I thought before it gets pressurised I would take a sample of the beer out the tap to put into the bottle to get a idea how it is brewing by looking at the bottle but nothing came out the tap when I turned it on. Now I know the float sits at the bottom of the keg shoud beer come out or should I have to wait until it is pressurised before any beer come out or have got a faulty Keg
 
I'm having a guess, but with no pressure and it being a sealed unit now you have created a vacuum, you would need to release the cap if you wanted to use the tap with no pressure.

The float is on the top of the beer (it floats) and needs pressure in the barrel to push the beer out. Give it a couple of weeks and it'll be great 😀
