    Saw these today. Looked different then the other mini keg systems I've seen.

    Any experiences with them? Says co2 is refillable but not info on what cartridge type.

    Looks interesting. The description says you would have to reorder regulator and cartridge assembly from the keg manufacturer which makes me a little leery. It looks like you would fill through the bung and prime with sugar, then use the CO2 to maintain pressure and dispense. I would love more info on these. Seems pretty cheap if the cartridges are reasonable.

    I have one myself bought from ebay.. came with keg, co2 hand charger, and picnic faucet. You can force carb just as you would your regular keg (or at least I do) it works great very potable works good with small batches. I love that little guy, plan on getting another...

    Ok there called a draft king by Huber out of Germany. No info on what the co2 cartridge looks like. I'm tempted to order one to check it out. 45 for 4 or 1 for 18....hmmmm

    It's actually the draft king not the easy keg. Sellers new auction says there avail. I asked him for some more info, have to imagine if there replaceable it should be retrofitted to a c02 cartridge

    Kampo please let me know if you did end up getting those. I'm thinking of ordering them myself, but only if I can re-use them cheaply.

    I have kegged in the mini bitburger kegs. I had to make a tap for them though. You can't reuse the kegs that are co2 pressurized like the Heineken or Newcastle ones
