My portable dispenser project

Hi guys I just wanted to shear my project

Here's what I started with



Cut a hole for the keg



Keg in place



How I attached my c02



C02 bottle in place



Now just waiting for the gas QD and the tap

What is that thing?

This is a portable way to keep my keg cold when I go to BBQs and such. Why just have beer on tap when your at home?

Sorry, I meant the thing you put your keg in.

Oh sorry. It's a novelty keg shaped/sized chilly bin cooler

Where does the ice go?

Hi their is a 2" gap either side of the corny

Cool. There's been one of those floating around on Craigslist in my area. Maybe I'll pick it up. Neat idea.

Cheers. I thort it was a little more unique than just a jockey box. I will be testing it out at the end of the month so will let you know how well it keeps temps. On a side note the lid is quite thick and not a job just done with a knife as I thort. Ended up using a 4"grinder.

Here's the final product, tap in place, time for a test run

Hey Spanna, where did you get the small CO2 cylinder and the reg from?

Have u poured with it? Wont you have issues with foaming since there is no hose between the tap

From a gas welding shop. They are 900 grams cylinders they are disposable but I filled them with dry ice to get another run outta them. Seem to be doing the trick. I got them from trademe the equivalent if your eBay.

I have only poured soda water with it at this stage, and found 1-2 psi works well. I am hoping this also works with carbed beer.

Hay ya sory I didn't check. Dry ice is from BOC it's ruffly 5 bucks a kg plus a 10 buck container if u don't bring a chilly bin You just unscrew of the top and crunch the dry ice and put it in till bout 3/4 of the bottle you can tell by the ice build up on the outside. Then screw the valve back on
