Why did you have to resurrect this thread! I had finally forgotten it. Now I am even more amped about it! I too have way too many projects already, sadly not all beer related.

I just damn him with teasing us, and saying he has too many projects before he can get around to doing it...Otherwise I think the idea is the tits!!!!!
Revvy's one of the cool reverends. He has a Harley and a t-shirt that says on the back "If you can read this, the bitch was Raptured.

could you theoretically hook the filter up to the gas in side of a corny and serve this out of a kegerator?
Yes, that's how I served my Roggen at the Real Ale Fest.
Tip: Here's a trick if you don't think you'll finish the ale with in the 72 hours...
Take a second keg and fill it with CO2. Just enough to purge the air out of it. Connect the beer out of the CO2 keg to the gas in of the real ale. Open the gas in of the CO2 keg and start pumping your ale. The vacuum will draw the ambient CO2 from the other keg leaving a blanket of CO2 over the ale. It will last longer and still fall under the rules of CAMRA.

Here is the best way to keep a blanket of carbon dioxide on the ale: Click here, then click "Sundries". You want the cask breather. Yeah, it's expensive, but it works. Don't half-arse it; use the right tool for the job.
You know, for that matter...
Here is an Angram handpump. I've seen these go for ~$100. Add the cask breather, and you can dispense anything the UK way.
In fact, here's a Homark engine for £45, Buy-It-Now. Shipping will be a bitch, but...
I realize that you can do this in a different way that would be more professional. However, the idea of this whole thread is to provide a cheap alternative to that. There is now way I would drink enough real ale to justify that setup (yet anyway). I can justify the $50-60 it will cost for my cheap conversion though.
Also, I like the idea of not using a breather and allowing the beer to slightly oxidize over the three or four days it takes me to kick the 5L. Maybe some day I will get a real engine, but I don't ever see a breather in my future.
I have a couple questions. I love casks on a hand pump but in order to get that cask taste you you add oak chips to secondary? Also, asthetics aside, is there much difference in the angram pump and the cheap $25 one?
