like a said, it isnt about saveing money, just a project. i do understand that you would have to carbonate it with sugar. but i do agree, if your going to force carbonate you keg, it might just as well be best to have the proper equipment like a corny.

im looking around on the net, and seeing lots of nice kegging equipment. but it got me to wondering about useing something found around here to make a keg of my own. i see whats called a "Beer Pig" on ebay "the name itself has been used to describe me by my wife :)" and it looks to me, that of...
