Are they supposed to be non-threaded?

Yes non threaded 16 gram

Hey guy's. I'm new here and the reason I found this is because of this Miller Fridge Keg that is sitting on my desk. Here is my idea and please correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't this be great for small or test batches? I decided to get back into brewing and do not want to go through the bottle thing again. I am not ready for a complete keg system but will be some day. This is where I need help, after fermentation if I was going to keg my beer, to add carbonation don't I apply co2 for a specified period of time at a certain temp?

Why can't I do that with this thing and then just use the canisters to dispense?

Would I have to install a valve somewhere on the fridge keg to vent the co2 as the first step? I'm still learning.

If you look at the tap for this thing there is another pin right next to the cartridge ratchet. I don't know what this is for yet?

This may be useful. If anyone has any success let us know.

I just picked up one of these today. I'll have to get some less discriminating friends to help with the miller lite. Here's my mad scientist take on replacing the CO2. How about the co2 holder with a 90 degree barbed elbow so that it can be used with the CO2 keg chargers available at most LHBS's.

The questionable part would be making the adapter fit the threads on the tap. Someone else had mentioned replacing the tap all together with one from a tap-a-draft system. I'm not familiar with that, but it would be worth checking out also.

I would don't take my word for it I just remember them having them back in the day. I dont see why they would not work any way if its just to presurize the keg

Did they have one of these miller dealys at BevMo in Fresno?

Damn I'm in Huntsville TX but, I was wondering if there is a way to rig an 8 gram co2 canister to use 3 liter coke bottles instead of buying more.

I just picked up one of the coors draft setups today. Luckily I like coors light, but I am more interested in taking the system apart after the beer is gone. I brewed some beer for vacation in july, this might be the way to take it with me. Any ideas on what size top will fit onto the bottle?

Any thoughts on drilling out the 16g cartridge and soldering a 1/4" barbed Check Valve on to it? Then after filling I could pressurize and seal (by closing the check valve) and not have to buy those CO2 Cartridges. Just a thought...
