Check my skillz: Portable Kegerator

Eat your heart out, lads! ;D

Three gallons of homebrew deliverable anywhere that wheels will allow. Shiny draft tower not necessary, but it looks awesome so I did it. :D

Instead of the candy-ass 20-oz CO2 tank a lot of people go with, I went with a 5-lb cylinder and dual regulator. Sure, I can't fit two kegs with that bad boy in there, but I can force carbonate on the go!

Portable kegerator, lolololol. If there isn't already beer there, it isn't a place worth going to.

jk, that's easily the coolest thing I've seen all week

I like to camp. Also, just because there is beer somewhere doesn't mean it's *good* beer. ;)

Very true... I can't count the number of times i've heard "Come over, we've got beer so don't pick any up" To find out it's something like Fosters *Shudders*

Ok. This is awesome. I would camp just to be able to use that thing. You have the inaugural cold one yet?

By the way, if any of you want to build one of these, you can shave off about $100 if you go with a through-wall faucet shank (drill through the front of the cooler instead of the lid). Draft towers are ludicrously expensive. Or you could make one with PVC pipe and some flanged elbows.

I'm actually going to do another one with a round 5-gallon Gott/Igloo cooler as well, but it will have a tiny little 16-gram CO2 injector. That's all that will fit.

Not yet. I just finished it like 3 hours ago. I have a small batch ready for it though. I'll probably load 'er up tomorrow.
