/ draft beer equipment

French term or phrase: robinet

I admit I am a little mystified here:
In a document regarding draft beer equipment for the Canadian audience:
mise en perce; robinet; sortie
To me, they all sound like 'tap' as in:
mise en perce du fût: barrel tapping
peu ou pas de bière à la sortie: Little or no beer at the tap
La température de la bière au robinet doit être maintenue entre 3 et 5 degrés: the temperature of the beer at the tap should be maintained at 3 to 5 degrees.
Can someone kindly clear this up for me?
TIA

you're right

Explanation:
they all could be translated by "tap" or "tapping".
"Peu ou pas de bière à la sortie" = little or no beer comes out (and where would it come out of, if not the tap?)

you're doing fine

Explanation:
it is tap beer and the robinet is the tap - and if those degrees throw you, it is because it is centigrades, not Fahrenheit.
