Something along the lines of this:



With room for fermentation chambers, brewing, tools etc...

Kegs, Reg and disconnects just arrived in work. Only need line and taps now!  :)

Shiny, did you get that regulator from MyBeerAndWine?

Shane Phelan

Got the whole lot from them. Laziness was a factor.  :)

John_C also has a similar setup and was talking about doing a write up about it. We might get together and do something along the lines of a micro-kegerator.

I want to know how you got all that Shiney stuff funded by DIT ;)

A man after me own heart!

And the keg? Is that the smaller size one?

How long do you think you'll get out of the SodaStream bottle?

I see where you are going with the small 12v cooler now.
Clever.
You will need to chill your keg in a regular fridge first though.


Shane Phelan

Yeah its the 9.5L size. From what I have been reading online a SS bottle can carbonate and dispense 2 to 3 kegs depending on how careful you are with the gas. If you prime the keg then you can get 5 or 6 out of it apparently and those numbers are for 19L corny kegs so I expect to get double that. Given that a refill is around €12.50 its not too bad IMO. I would probably get away with around 2 or 3 refills a year which is fine for the amount of space I am saving.

Now that I see the keg I don't think it will fit in the cooler, its pretty chubby compared to the sleek and slim conventional corny. Something like this seems sensible if I can find the right cooler:

Great solution where space is a premium.

Keep a Pint glass in there too.
If you get thirsty on the way to a party while on the bus, picture the faces of the travelling public as you pull yourself a cold one!
