Keg on a hayride

[cardwookie]

Every year for Halloween we take a "hayride" around the homes to get candy for the kids. I just got into kegging and thought it would be great to have a corny keg of beer for the ride next year. If a keg is on a moving vehicle will the shaking cause the beer to be too foamy or will it still dispense ok?

Thanks.

It will probably be too foamy. Also, if you are on public streets, illegal.

That sounds like waaaaaay too much fun to be legal

it won't probably be too foamy.. it flat out will be too foamy.


Jostling a keg around on a wagon is going to shake the crap out of your keg. Think of the keg like a bigger can of beer... Now shake a can of beer around and crack it open... Now augment this scale to accomodate the size of the keg. Unless you want to make some sort of inertia absorbing device with springs to keep the shaking minimal this idea was over before it started.


Bad idea. Well.. good.. but bad.

still cider?

There are about 5 people who drive four-wheelers with a trailer attached to do the trick-or-treating. Everybody has their own drinks with them. So maybe some chilled apfelwein in a corny and then use a CO2 injector? Any issues with CO2 being dissolved into the liquid that fast (especially with it being jostled around)? Of course I could just dump it into a big igloo beverage cooler and let gravity do the work. Why didn't I think of that before?

YOu could take a pitcher along for the ride, just keep it filed and let the foam settle. Better yet, take a couple 2 liter botles along. Fill them up as they empty and let the foam settle. When you pour the beer, the foam will stay in the bottle.
