party pig?

jonbomb said:

I was checking this out and was thinking of getting one depending on the price. Only because as of right now I'm only brewing 5 gallons or 10 gallons a month.

It's a little keg with a pouch of co2 in it that keeps it fresh for months... seems kinda like a pain ins the a** to refil it though...

Is it worth buying??

I would actually suggest using a 5L mini keg over the Party Pig. This does the same thing cheaper, better and is more user friendly. The Party Pig is a system like Mr. Beer. BTW 4 5L mini kegs = 5 gallons so that is a HUGE incentive in my book.

If you do a search (no this isn't a search, noob post) for "party pig" you'll find TONS of reviews and experiences to help you with your decision.

Also, check out Tap-a-draft as well. That's the one I went with and it works great too.

That said, if you think you'll upgrade to a real kegging system, just do that. Most folks who get a party pig or a TAD system "for now", decide to move up to kegging really quickly after and wish they'd just spent the money towards kegging. I got the TAD because I didn't have any room to keg and it was a great halfway measure for me. Plus, you can get extra TAD bottles fairly cheap (in some areas you can buy 3-liter pop bottles that also fit the TAD system) so you can expand your storage without too much more outlay of cash.

where can i find this 5L mini keg you speak of??

I liked the party pig because it is like the mr beer but you can put your own beer you brewed in it and it carbonates it for you so you skip bottling... If I can skip bottling with the mini keg Id rather just buy that.
