Greetings all.
My name is Andov and Ive been home brewing since April 2014.
I live in the Charlotte area, East Coast USA.
This is my first forum post :)

I am interested in making some home brewing associates in my area. Feel free to share your contact info with me and write anytime.

Im eager to move into Kegging and away from bottling.

The full size keg/erator setup is very expensive. Im looking for something lower cost to ease into it with. I see the mini keg systems available on the market.

Id like to get your experience, opinions and advice on (attempting to) convert a krupps or other kitchen counter size mini keg draft system.

I do prefer the home made beer WAY over most of the store bought kind. I understand it is in their best interest to sell another keg rather than let me refill one with my stuff.

Id like to put my home brew in the mini kegs and use one of the mini keg systems that are commercially available.

Im pretty handy and I can follow instructions well. But the instructions need to be spelled out for me.

Please give me your experiences, thoughts, and advice on how to convert one of those systems so that I can refill and reuse with my beer. I need to know what parts will be needed for the refit and what I can expect to be replaced (how often). What size fittings, connectors, CO2 etc.

Thanx very much.

I have an Avanti mini pub and some 5l mini (bubba) kegs. you can buy the rubber bung for the top and just clean, sanitize and re-fill. I just buy beer in mini kegs and keep the keg. You want to get mini kegs that have the drain spigot on the bottom or with no spigot at all. There are some good vids on youtube.
