Keeping Kegs cold outdoors for 30 hours, Leads on cheap ice?

Post by Maritimer » Mon Jul 18, 2016 12:58 pm

I'm helping organize a climbing event over the natal day long weekend. North Brewing has generously offered Three 20L kegs for our event.

I have taken responsibility for the health and welfare of these kegs and I want to ensure they are cold. The kegs will be out of the fridge for around 30 hrs before they are tapped.


I was planning on rubbermaid tubs with lids packed with one or two two kegs and filled bags of party ice.

Does anyone know where I could buy a bulk ice? Anyone have a better idea to keep the beer cold?
Beer.

Try McDonalds. I've seen people leaving with clear garbage bags full of ice before.
