Portable Kegerator

attitude · Jul 28, 2007

Here is my idea for my portable kegerator. 2 questions.
1) How long a beer line should i put in? I think 5 foot would be too much.
2) How do those little CO2 cartridges work? Should i stub out and get a
5# tank?

Any help would be much appreciated

Looks good so far. I have about 3 feet in mine and I did stub out with a bulkhead, but decided against it because I did not want someone to expend a whole cartridge or even mess with it. Out of sight out of mind. A couple of cartridges will dispense the keg just fine.

Here's how much ice is left after 24 hours.

Thank you sir ,Now i can finish it and take it for a trial run

You're gonna love it! Mine uses an Igloo cooler just like yours, and doubles as my sparge tank when brewing. I keep my co2 dispenser inside, too with no problems. And Ed's right- two cartridges are about right for one 3-gallon keg.
