I don't mean something you'd keep in the kegerator permanently, but maybe something smaller so you could put a couple in an ice chest or whatever. Seems to me you could build one maybe 12" long and 6" in diameter with an end cap and a cleanout plug set for less than $15 and it would hold around a gallon and a half.
Drill a couple holes in the plug, install 1/4" or 1/8" NPT bulkheads, maybe with some epoxy to help seal it up. I guess you could install valves if you wanted, but it might not necessary. Not sure about the dip tube, I guess you could just use vinyl.
The pipe itself is dirt cheap, so you could have as much or as little capacity as you wanted by changing the length and width without affecting the price very much.
I wouldn't necessarily force carb in it, but it should easily be able to hold serving pressure, right? I wouldn't use it without a regulator since it has no safety valve. MAybe you could install one of those too.
Anyone ever do this? Or do you envision any problems with it?
