Sampling from the Keg

Just placed my Hobgoblin clone on CO2 Saturday. Tried the quick carb method, but didn't have the time to continue with it, so I turned the pressure down to 12psi, and am trying to wait a week or so to see what happens. The problem is that I feel the need to sample every day, and while the beer is nowhere near ready, it's still good enough to drink.

Sometimes I wish beer tasted like balls for a week or so no matter what, just so I could resist that temptation to sample.
