yeah I was looking at the target one. Only problem is they screw you on shipping. Sports authority has them in store. I was going to try and price match
SkipperNC said:I've kegged but 4 brews now and I'm already sick of toting growlers everywhere. This entire thread is full of awesome. Thanks to Dr. Deathweed and also to you folks recently posting the double 2.5 gal pics. I now have some shopping to do, this is going to make for some epic lake days.
ekjohns said:SUCCESS!!! Using the 70 qt I was able to fit 2, 2.5 gallon kegs but it was a tight fit. Actually to say tight is not giving it its true justice. I had to lube up the kegs and cooler with vegetable oil and wiggle the second keg back and forth until it got low enough to close the lid. Even thought the lid closes the keg stick stick out of the cooler with the lid open (see last photo). The lip of the lid hits the handle of the keg and pushes it very slightly to the side as it closes but one closed it is fine, even with a ball lock on it. Thanks to the doomed top there is plenty of space. So 2, 2.5 gallon rubber handled kegs will fit with some effort. Here is the proof

this is going to make for a fun camping trip
ekjohns said:the other thing is there is a bead of rubber that goes around the keg where the rubber top and bottom meet the SS. This could be shaved down but I don't want to modify my brand new kegs. The trick I found was to use vegetable oil to help everything slide down nice and smooth. Tight but smooth
DrHops said:I hollowed out the lid of one of the new rolling 5 gallon beverage coolers. Then cut a found hole at the back of the lid and another at the front of the lid, the back hole for the co2 hose with a paintball tank mounted to the back between the rails of the handle, and the front hole for the spout. It fits my 3 gallon kegs perfectly, I drop in an ice blanket between the keg and the inside of the cooler and it's lasted through 6 hours of 90 degree heat at the pool and another 3-4 hours in my friends backyard.
Is everyone moving the co2 tank outside cause the bottle is freezing? Im taking mine camping tomorrow and have yet to decide how I want to mount the 20oz paintball tank
I just bought the 60 qt cooler that looks identical to this only (obviously) a bit smaller...looks like mostly in the lid. I only have one 3 gallon keg at the moment, but does anyone have this 60 qt setup who was able to fit 2 kegs in it?
Thanks
Lowes has the 60 qt on super sale right now... I would have to fit two 3 gallons with metal tops, so I guess that won't work? The 70qts are at least twice the price.
DrHops said:Here are pics of the inside with a keg in it and the co2 strapped to the back. It is a little back heavy, you must put the keg into the cooler before you slide the co2 tank into the back or it will fall over backwards.
megalomani said:There are those new 2.5 gallon kegs from China that have slightly different dimensions being shorter but slightly larger diameter. Has anyone tried squeezing two of those bad boys in an ice cube?
TimmyR said:If you are trying to put 2 3-gallon kegs into an Igloo IceCube, wider is probably not good. Have you read this whole thread and seen the posts regarding shaving the rubber boot on newer kegs?
I can say mine are old and it's tight.

I attached a picture of my 5 gallon keg cooler... its maiden voyage was a success today at work.
