I've done some searching on this subject over the past few days and I can't seem to find a good solution. Here's my situation.
A couple of weekends a year a few of my friends and I go camping over a whole weekend. I just got into kegging this year and I need to find a way to keep a couple of kegs cool over 3 days and nights in the summer. Most of the solutions I've seen can only keep a keg cold for around 24 hours. I could go the "jockey box" route but I've read that you need to keep the kegs reasonably cool (room temp). Is this true or can the kegs be around 80 deg and still work with the jockey box? I have no problem using some kind of trash can or tall bucket and buying a couple of bags of ice every day but some say that an uninsulated trash can will need way more than a couple of bags a day to keep the kegs cold.
HELP ME!!
I find it hard to believe that nobody takes kegs camping over the weekend and has cold beer on tap the whole time.
Thanks!!
