I don't want it to be a source of life in my keezer.

How did it turn out? Any info?

I believe it is by pressure. It isn't a liquid like straight CO2 or Propane is, so it feels really light in comparison.

Just check what your local supplier uses. Don't spend money on equipment until you know exactly what they will require. My supplier uses standard CO2 tanks and regulators.

This is the gravity sample of my first mead. It is a light lemonade mead.

At $15 for a swap, I figured a paintball tank was the way to go. There are also thread adapters easily available. In fact, I bought a thread adapter for my Sodastream to drop my refill price from $15 to $3.

I threw a batch of this together Feb 1 this year. My first mead. It has been sitting in the primary until tonight. I transferred it to keg, and have to say, I am pleased. I dropped 5 oz of corn sugar, because I was one packet of priming sugar short, and substituted one can of lemonade...

I am in! Thanks!

I know I am a page late in response, but just saw this and wanted to say thanks! I may have to order a few. :mug:

That is pretty slick. Would there be room in it to put grain in instead of labels?

Here is my Sunbeam 7.2 with 4 ball lock kegs on the floor. It is identical to the Magic Chef and is available at Menards.

The Magic Chef, and Sunbeam 7.2 will fit 4 Pepsi/7*up kegs on the floor. The Coke kegs are wider, so that limits it to 3. edit: I got my Sunbeam at Menards.

We are currently using a Gatorade branded one with a Bargain Fittings bulkhead and it has worked out very well for us, but I hadn't seen them at that price point before. Sorry if this is old news. :mug:

Just wanted to give a heads up. I saw 10 gallon Rubbermaid water coolers at Home Depot for $40. The 5 gallon were $22.

I got the Sunbeam 7.2 at Menards and it is identical. Sorry for the late reply.
