Party Pig or Tap-a-Draft?

Monk · Feb 27, 2007

I'm looking to get a small draft system that will fit in the corner of my refrigerator. I use mini-kegs, but don't normally drink them fast enough to avoid wasting some beer. It looks like either of the aforementioned systems might be a good answer to the question. I'm sure several of you have experience with one or both, would you care to share your opinions? Thanks,

I take it you're using gravity tap... why not spend the money on a co2 cartridge for the mini kegs?

I posted a thread on this a cpl weeks ago, the consensus was that the Pig was a superior way to mini-keg beer...

Thanks, Pol. I'll try to find that thread. i had a hard time searching for party "pig"...

No problem

I found the thread, The Pol. I'm starting to like the Party Pig idea quite a bit. I'm sort of sick of the 5L minis. They are fine for the real ale, if I can kill the keg in 2 days, but otherwise they sound like they don't work that great with the co2 system. It sounds like more of a hassle, too.

Yeap, keep it simple, that is my motto...

I have 2 Pigs, one since 1994, and never had any problems.

Get your pig some tail...

16.00 tire inflater and a +1.00 Co2 Cart that I am still using the same one after several dispenses (by no means condoned by Quoin!)

Drill and tap with 1/8 pipe tap and use a 1/8 tank valve, not the easiest to find in a retail store but no issue at McMaster

Use a bike Co2 inflater, but watch the pressure - these pack the same pressure as the big boys but there is no regulator!

For using my regular Co2 bottle for carbing

Go for the Pig.

Tap that ass. Er...I mean, that draft.

Stick with bottling...
