Hey Everyone,
I will be going on a golf trip in June, and while I realize that the trip is still aways off, I have a question that has popped into my head.
In about 1-2 weeks I will be putting my next batch into a coke keg. My thought is to have a batch ready to take on the golf trip with me. We are not going that far. It's really only a 4 hours drive, but we're away from the wives for three days and eight of us are going.
Anyway, back to the keg. I want to have a batch ready to take with me and I would just like to take the keg. After I have it refridgerated, CO2ed and let sit for a week or so to carbonate.......Can I unhook the CO2, put the keg ON ITS SIDE in a cooler with ice and transport it and then with those little CO2 cartridged, push my beer out when I get there. I realize the pushing part is not the problem, but I'm more worried about the keg laying in the cooler. I know I could just cool it when I get there, but I'll be into it right away and don't want to have to wait for it to cool.
I can't think of any problem with transporting this!!!
OH, I did read the thread before about the exploding ball lock so I will be extra careful with that. Make sure I wear my bomb-squad suit.
