Default Party Pig

Is the party pig worth a crap? I'm thinking about getting one and wondered if anyone had any advice/experience/thoughts on it.

Don't have any experience but from what i hear they are pretty handy if you don't want to invest in a full kegging setup. You have to keep buying the pressure bags or modify it yourself to use the small CO2 tanks.

Thread from not too long ago

Yeah, they're good and work fine. There's also a half-dozen or more threads on them if you look at similar threads or do a search.

I used one for a while till I got the keg setup together. Only problems I had were getting it pressurized and getting the bag out. Took up too much room in the fridge a few times, but just drank it quicker.

An old thread but rather than posting a new one I thought I'd try here first.

How long does beer last in a party pig (and no "until I've drunk it" responses please!)

Also, does it take the same time to condition as in bottles?
