Would something like that hook up to a cornie? What would you need to hook it up:?

[CARA]

Same principal as hooking up to a cask really. Usually advisable to shave an inch or so off the bottom of your diptube so you aren't sucking up all the yeast (that's if you were doing it traditionally, i.e "keg" conditioned). Just have the gas in set to a very low pressure. If you were planning on emptying the "cask" quickly at a party or something just pull the relief valve up and turn it 90degrees so it was set to open so a vacuum wouldnt form. There is another, harder to explain in writing, way of modding a cask and adding a spigot w/ co2 aspirator for an even more traditional method of dispense

[CARA]

Ah yeah, I assumed the beer would be "cask style".

Just paid for it this minute actually :p
