Hey all. I've just about rounded up everything I need to keg my first batch. I plan to take this keg (pinlock corny) camping the week after Christmas. My thought is to leave the keg in a large plastic bucket with ice, adding more ice as needed.
I am concerned with bugs in/around the picnic tap. I thought of cutting a hole in the side of a tupperware container and keeping the tap inside of that when not in use. Any suggestions?
Also, I am going to use an out of date 20# CO2 bottle to carbonate. It currently has 900lbs of pressure in it. I know that it will need to get a new hydro before getting filled. Is the air in it sufficient to get me started for the trip? Of should I just have it dumped and tested since that air is probably 8 years old?
Has anybody taken a keg camping and can share any other tips?
Thanks
