I admited in another post that I was a tight wad pensioner. Now the Engineer in me has come up wiyth this idea.
I have a 5 litre rather solid plasic water container that I believe will withstand priming presure. Anyway I am about to fill it from my secondary after I add priming sugar. I know it will be ok to start but as beer is eventually dispensed the pressure will drop.
This is where the brain wave comes in. I can fit a bladder with a valve in the cap fitted with an ordinary bike tyre valve. I can pump the bladder with air to pressurise the brew as I wish. The bladder I am thinking of is one from a wine cask.
The beer I believe should maintain its carbonation as the pressure should remain high.
I have these ideas like the tube I fitted through our wood fire to warm air flowing through the tube heated by the embers. It worked for a while till the embers cooled and the fire would go out. Still it was a great project even though the better half was not impressed.
