Portable CO2

[gyorke]

Has anyone tried one of these before? : http://www.ontariobeerkegs.com/product_ ... harger.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I would rarely be taking a keg anywhere and it's a lot cheaper than a second regulator for a paintball tank which would be the way I would go otherwise.
Anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks

Any one know what shipping is like from them?

I've got one of those, came across it at water and wine in spryfield. it works good if you are just using it for serving the beer.

Reasonable. They use Canada Post (Puralator). A little slower but not too costly.

I love mine. For serving it's perfect, just make sure you and anyone else who uses it knows how to use it.
You can shag up the dispenser if it isn't hooked up to a keg and you try to discharge gas from it.

My buddy had the use of it for a weekend and tried to remove a partly filled cylinder from it... nearly froze his hand when he realized it was still charged and
tried to hold back the cylinder from flying across the room.
Of course I told him how stupid he was for trying it. He now knows how to use it properly and I was just as bad for not instructing him on it's use.

Tony, what do you use for refills?

I buy the 16 g cylinder like the ones offered here http://www.homebrew-supplies.ca/viartsh ... =61&page=2" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

How about this unit:

The paintball tank adapter is what I went looking for originally but that would require a regulator. The other setup is a tempting value.

But you already have a regulator. You don't need a second one.

I have a regulator on my keezer but that would be a real pain to dismantle when I wanted to take a keg on the go.

Which is why I got the portable one. It was expensive to buy both the charger and the dispenser tap, but to me it was worth it. I could have built the dispenser tap far cheaper that I bought it had I known how it was rigged up.

How do you guys build your keezers that it's such a pain to unscrew the regulator from the tank?

I would have to disturb two kegs to get at the regulator in the back of my kegerator. I prefer to not shake up/disturb my kegs once they are tapped

[gyorke]

Getting the regulator off of the tank is no problem at all. It's disconnecting and reconnecting the hoses that's the real pain. I have the regulator and tank mounted outside of the keezer to save some room inside, for easier bottle change and pressure dial access but it takes away portability. MFL fittings on the regulator would have helped but the kit I bought came assembled with barbs.

sounds like a jac-pac would've been the answer for you (if you could still get them at Crappy Tire)

That will work also.
