Yeah, I just stick my 20oz tank inside the cooler. Works fine for me.

There's a little less room for ice, but it seems fine.

This is exactly the next step for me. Williams brewing has them for $29.90, anyone know of any place to get them cheaper?

I got mine from Keg Connection. A buck cheaper. Not a whole lot less, but I've had pretty good success ordering from them. Not sure if there are cheaper alternatives, as I didn't shop around.

Check your local Dunhams, MC Sports or any sports stores. They tend to run in the $28 range but if you have a local place to buy them why order off line? You still have to get them filled and you don't need to pay for shipping. Most of the places I have bought them either fill them or will tell you the local place to get them filled. Just my 2 cents. I just happen to be into Pball a few years back and still have this stuff hanging around.

If you carbonate your beer in another keg then transfer it into the 3 gallon one, do you ever have a problem with excess foam or anything?

How do you transfer it from one to the other?

There's some pretty good info on how to do this in this thread from fellow HBT member John Beere.

I use a jumper (5 foot beverage line with a ball lock liquid disconnect on either end). Purge the 3 gallon keg of O2 and then hookup the jumper to transfer from one keg to another.
