Can't really tell too much from the setup.
A few general suggestions:
Tank should have a drain located near the bottom. Make sure you drain it prior to each use.
Do you have access to a used refrigerator? If so you can make yourself a homemade "refrigerated air dryer" and have a place for your cold beer. You can add a cooling coil inside the refrigerator and use it to condense the water in the compressed air line. You will need to make the piping penetrations through the refrigerator walls and will need to install a "drain trap" on the outlet side.
The more beer you have in the refrigerator, the better it will work as an air dryer. This is no joke. The refrigerator will have more "mass" to cool down and the refrigerant compressor will cycle less. The cold beer will serve as a cold sink. (Jugs full of water would work, but beer tastes better)
