Here's some pics of the Miller Lite Home Draft taken apart. I have the 60qt Igloo Cube cooler. It will easily hold two of these with plenty of room to spare.
The idea I'm kicking around for the 4th of July is to mount two of these taps on the outside of the cooler and the bottles on the inside of the cooler covered in ice. Tailgating!
It's very easy to disassemble and the only catch is the CO2 cartridge has a couple teeth that catch when the cylinder is turned and activated. Likely this is to keep some drunk from trying to remove a charged cylinder and causing damage and injury. A pair of vise grip pliers or channel locks will easily break those tabs off. It uses a standard 16gram CO2 cartridge.
After disposing of the Miller, I filled it with water and replaced the CO2 cartridge. It works great. No mod's needed. The bottle is stamped 1 PETE and feels alot like the material used for 2 liter sodas. Although it's a bit more rigid being that it stays rock hard until the bottle is completely empty to the last drop and the remainder of the gas discharges.
