Bump for the project....

This is great man. I am going to build one next month. I think I have the parts list but can someone verify for me.

Big rectangular trashcan with wheels (55g?)
Kobalt CO2 System
2x4 frame at bottom for leveling
drain spigot
1inch insulation on sides
(2) 1 inch insulation on top and bottom
Commercial grade plastic liner
Tubing (what size and how long?)

Of course the handles and kegs but am I missing anything from the build itself? I just want to go and pick up everything at once.

Thanks much

Drop the 2x4 frame. I just ended up building the bottom up to "level" by layering some extra foam bard, cut to shape.

Use your standard gas hose for the CO2 rigging.

Holy Crap I like this idea.

I compost, so the giant roller-bin
provided by my Garbage Hauler might become a Brew Center...instead of a rain barrel.

Just bought a Grain Mill from Dean,
and WOOT! a 4 way co2 connector at an E-Bay store
so I'm feeling more confident
I can get my portable party system rolling soon.

I also bought a lighted neon HOME BREW sign,
and portable Corny pumps and Taps in case Brew Buddies bring over more than my faucet system can handle. (One can always hope)

I hope to find good CO2 and Nitro tank deals,
possibly as I have 2 houses, and I host Stout tastings.

Like the Tank system you show, but I'm Cheeeep.
If someone knows a great multi-faucet deal - let me know!

Wanna talk ice, swamp cooler methods,
& other approaches to sustainably cooling our portable Servers?
I think the kegs will stand in thermal foil bags (from the Dollar store),
and have a space blanket tucked over them. I have a bunch of foam insulation,
so that will be in there, too.

Can you motorize this to go with the motorized bar stools?

So I just read through this whole post. I love it!

Two comments;
Although the ice was not a problem, you will get more cooling action from the ice if you add enough water to fill in air space.

Any reason other than it just not being as awesome as yours I can't just use my 5 lb CO2 tank and cut $50-$100 off of this project? Would probably have to have the tank outside of the can though.

I missed this on Black Friday 2yrs in a row but just got one for Cyber Monday $49.99. I don't think it comes with CO2 tanks, but I have my old 20oz paintball tank in the garage.

I'm almost 2 years late on this, but ... this is amazing! I have a camping trip coming up in 3 weeks and I was planning on heading over to Lowes later today to pick up a rolling cooler. Now I'm considering heading over to Lowes for a rolling trash can.

FYI, I'm building one of these for a party later this month. I found a suitable garbage can at Menards for $15!
