I am trying to make a 3-liter keg and I am using a modified version of the following two websites.
http://home.chattanooga.net/~cdp/3lkeg/3lkeg.htm#hydro
http://home.swbell.net/bufkin/cheap_3_liter_kegs.htm
I have never kegged anything before so at this point I feel like I have gotten in a little over my head. I am trying to make a system so that I can use a 12 oz paintball co2 tank to force carbonate the beer I put in the 3-liter bottle and then use the tap out to the top to drink it.
I know that I will need an adapter to fit the paintball tank and gauges to regulate the pressures and conceptually I understand the general layout, but putting the pieces is where I am hitting a road block.
The main thing I am confused about is the connection between the tank and the bottle. Can I use just regular vinyl tubing and somehow connect that to the schrader valve?
Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
