Renting a tap system

[Bhmarc]

my daughter has asked me to bring a couple of kegs of my brew to her wedding next summer. I typically keg in a ball lock Cornelius keg and use my kegerator. I can bring kegs, but don't see traveling with a kegerator.If I use this type of keg, what type of system might I be able to rent to dispense the beer (ie soda dispensing system?, kegerator?). I will need to buy more kegs anyway, so if a different system is easier to rent, I can bottle in a different type of keg. Any thoughts on the easiest way to proceed?

Look into building/buying/renting a Jockey Box.

I'd find used stuff off of Craigslist to use. Then resale after use. Can always use a trash can to cool.

If you just have it in a bucket of ice behind the bar, you could get a party tap for it and it's something you could possibly use again.

When I travel with kegs I just bring my picnic taps and CO2 tank. Not as cool as having Perlicks, but super easy. You could cool the kegs in a large can of ice.

Jockey box would be awesome, but unless you have a semi-regular use for them its a lot of expense.

Please excuse what might be a dumb question, I'm a bit of a kegging novice. Are the party taps and picnic taps for Cornelius kegs, or would I be kegging in something else? Thanks for the all the quick responses.

"Are the party taps and picnic taps for Cornelius kegs?"

Yes.

Cheers!

Yes, you just attach a liquid out ball lock fitting on the keg side and a plastic picnic tap (~ $3) on the other. Give yourself 12 feet of 3/16" ID beer line. Costs you either $15 per line or $3 depending on whether you want to remove your current liquid line and install a new picnic tap, or want to have separate ball lock fitting/beer line/picnic tap for being mobile.

Amazon has a cheap kit you might consider. You could either bring your CO2 tank or get one of the small chargers

This is what I did for my Wife's baby shower. Got a spare piece of wood and mounted a single faucet tap tower and drilled a hole in the base for the beer line. I then put the keg in one of those big keg buckets with ice and hid the c02 in there as well. Everyone got to pull their own pint from a tower outside on a nice day. They thought it was pretty cool. You could put a table cloth over the whole thing and hide everything too if you want it to look nice.
I had 2 kegs and the gas and it all fit in the ice to keep it all cold.

I built a jockey box for my wedding. It is awesome. If you were around I would let you use it. 4-tap box setup for ball locks. It did cost a lot to build but it is top of the line.
