i was wondering if anyone uses thees http://www.midwestsupplies.com/mini-keg.html and if so how well do they work and are they worth looking at?
I have been using these 5l kegs (link below) for 2 years and have not replaced anything yet, and it works just fine.
Replacing it every 6-8 uses is just a marketing statement, like I said, have used my dozens of time, no need to replace as long as you wash/clean then after each use.
If you decide to go for these metal kegs, check this link

I however suggest a different keg, actually a 6l PET bottle I recently started using. Much easier to clean and takes the same CO2 head as the metal kegs.

Midwest also have the twist caps for these bottles.

Note that each keg would need about two 8g CO2 cartridges to completely dispense the beer.
Naturally carbonating for me doesn't mean any extra work or disadvantage, seriously.
The good thing about these small draft systems is that you have a small bottle/keg that you can easily carry to a friend's house or party and share you beer away from you house.
You can also make one of these, whenever you get more people.
