Growler filling for just a few hours drinking time

[OakIslandBrewery]

I was there to at one time. Hunt around for a smaller keg. I picked up a one gallon corny keg - really hard to find. Someone in the club snagged a few of them but I haven't seen them since.

When we remodel there will be a whole area dedicated to beer in the kitchen

Use 1L plastic pop bottles, like you buy your tonic water in for G&Ts. Two of 'em for a night. Much less surface area for the beer to off-gas CO2 when it's half full. The second one doesn't lose carbonation while it's waiting to be opened, and if you change your mind about drinking the second one just leave it in the fridge for tomorrow.

If you have a helper to drink it, you can use a 2L bottle.

Using a traditional growler, open it at 6:00 and your 10:00 pour should still be carbonated enough if you keep the growler cold. It'll be flat if you let it warm up too much. Pour gently and put the cap back on between pours (that cap won't really help that much but it will help a little)

Lets go pro here! Run a line from the keezer to the kitchen with loop of other line. put the whole thing in those pool noodles. put a jug of glycol and a small pump in the keezer and circulate through the other looped line to keep the whole thing cool. Have a nice tap tower right next to the kitchen sink.

Omg that sounds awesome. The kitchen is over the garage so itnwould be easy

I think best you send the house plans so we can sort out the remodel and pipework!

And so then, @crosschk , what's it going to be? Any advice here helpful?

I am going to stick with a regular growler. A double walled steel job. Give that a try and take it from there. I do like the running pipes idea but just not ready for that

If it's any consolation what works for me is walking up and down basement stairs a few times a' night

I think i was mostly worried about oxidation than bubbles. From what I have seen, going flat won't be a real issue

Ukeg makes a 64 oz model. Those are really made for getting beer from a micro brewery to bring home. They work pretty well. My only complaint is they use a little co2 cartridge and you use one each time you fill it. That can be expensive using it every day. I only use mine to take beer to club meetings or to bring beer home from a micro brewery.

And you get a little exercise that way too.

Yeah my issue with thenvtoo. I'm on a quest to find a way to hookup a paint ball canister to the mini kegs...
