So here's my plan..
I have very little space to store beer, and my wife is starting to think the hundreds of bottles in the house isn't funny.. there's 120 in the dining room and another 5 gallons in the primary.. and as a side note, we only have one fridge.
My plan of action is to put a corny in the fridge with a 20oz paintball canister for CO2, this seems like the smallest way to hide the keg, I may try to use a Kobalt tool CO2 regulator, I'll probably only need a foot of CO2 hose, hang the tank on the side of the corny, and run a picnic tap up to a shelf... do you think this will work ? Will force carbing and dispensing a keg be possible with a 20oz tank ?
My second plan, which may be crazier than my first, is to stash additional corny's under the bed. As beer is ready to keg, i'll just pour it in, add a little co2 to seal things up, then stash them on their side under the bed.. is that a stupid idea ?? It's one of the few temperate places that I can store kegs..
How would that work?? how much CO2 do you think i'd have to put in the tank ? how long could you leave them there ?
Thanks so much for any help !
