The latest giveaway from keg connections got me thinking about getting a small keg with a party/picnic type dispenser. Up until now I have only bottled, but it would be nice to bring a small keg or two to parties and such.
But here is my question. If I were to carbonate in the keg with priming sugar, like I do with bottles, would i need to use a CO2 tank to keep the pressure in the keg as i dispense the beer, or could I use a hand pump like I did back in college? I think it would be easier with the hand pump, like the one at the link below.

Please let me know if anyone has tried this and how it worked out.
Thanks.
