I've seen a few threads on the 5 liter kegs from Heinekin and Widmer about refilling and their use and how ya can't with all the "stock" parts. First thing I thougt when I saw one for the first time is how can I put my homebrew in it. All the threads say you can't refill them but I just saw a web page by someone who uses them in a different fashion. He refills them but uses his own aparatus to get beer out of them. I like the design ALOT. You could use a cobra tap to get the beer out but you need to put Co2 in to get it out. Is there a way to hook up and regulate pressure from a small Co2 cartridge? I have seen a hookup for a ball lock keg set up but It diddn't seem to have any way of regulating pressure. Would a cartridge be enough to push all the 5L of beer out of a keg? Would it matter if there wasn't a way to regulate pressure? It, for me at least, would revolutionize the way I tote homebrew around. Growlers rock, but lets be honest, cool points to whomever brings the keg(s), small or not. I think I could fit 4 or 5 in a cooler and still have room for hotdogs and potato salad, LOL! Plus I know it would fit in all my friends' fridges. Any ideas?
