Homebrew in Heineken mini kegs?

[korgman]

Has anyone figured out a way to put their homebrews in those Heineken mini kegs and push with CO2? I have one of those Krups beertenders and would love to be able to run some of my homebrews through it.

THere's a bunch of threads on that topic, with some intersting DIY designs.

OK cool, but what about using the Krups Beertender with it specifically? Any success with this, or shall I be the pioneer? Those kegs are self pressurized. Hmmm...

The heineken ones are different from the standard 5L minikegs... they're basically giant aerosol cans. I'm not sure what the guts look like, but they're filled, sealed, and pressurized at the factory, and are non-reusable.

Kind of a shame, really.
