"Party Keg"

[wjohnsen]

I bottle my brew. Any recommendations for a keg holding about 2 gallons that can carbonate/condition in the keg?

I don't think you can find these used, so you have to buy new. They have 2.5 and 3 gallon ball lock kegs.

Are you asking about a self contained system where you don't need a full kegging set up? Goggle party pig. Otherwise, you can carbonate and condition in any keg.

Also check out Rebel Brewer's offerings, Keg Connection's offerings, and William's Brewing's offerings.If you don't already have a CO2 source, you'll need to get one.

Thanks all. Was looking for a self contained system. Just getting started in home brewing.

You'll still need a CO2 source for the keg... While some breweries have used the kegs that have a CO2 source inside them, they're not available for us. You'd still need a way to charge the CO2 system inside one of those.

I have a couple of regulators that use the paintball gun CO2 bottles. Very portable there, but not cheap.

He/she's thinking of something like the party pig - no outside CO2 bottle needed, it's like a little internal pouch.

Thanks all. Yeah, the Party Pig type of thing is what I had in mind.
