How long should a keg be stored in the cooler prior to service to ensure that it doesn't foam?

2 hours
10 hours
1 day
1 week

The correct answer is: 1 day

It is important to let a keg sit in the cooler for at least 1 day before serving to avoid an excessive amount of foam when pouring. Option A of 2 hours is not enough time for the keg to cool down properly and may result in foamy beer. Option B of 10 hours is also not enough time and may not fully cool the keg down. Option D of 1 week is too long and can actually result in the keg becoming too cold and potentially freezing the beer, which can affect the quality and taste. It is best to follow the recommended timeframe of 1 day for proper cooling and minimal foam when serving from a keg.
