I now have three of these and plan on racking over to the second to take the place of botteling. I overcame the issue of CO2 leak-by by using two different size o-rings on the neck of the catridge. I filled the keg with water and once I found the right combination of o rings I was able to pour out more than 3/4 of the water.
i figure with the carbonation of the beer and less liquid (filled it to much) I should be able to dispense my home brew.
I am not going to try and carbonate from the catridge to begin with. I'll work up to that. I would like to make an adapter to attach a small CO2 bottle to carbonate.
I'll post the sizes of the o-rings I used later. I'll also keep you posted on the small batch of kolsch I plan to run through this thing.
mykekc,
What size O-rings did you have to use for CO2 Leak? I've tried two small sizes and telfon tape and still are have my 16g cartridges leak due to the smaller diameter difference in the original cartridge and the available replacements @ the local homebrew shop. Thanks
Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions on how to keep these cold while dispensing outdoors? Ice blanket?? Cut a hole into a cooler? I would be easier to have a option to dispense this standing up.

Cut a hole in the side of a foam cooler. No need to go and ruin anything more expensive than that. I'd also suggest dressing up the cooler a bit, something like wrapping it in aluminum foil for a futuristic look.
