so i've seen these in previous older threads but wanted to get any updated info.
long story short, i don't have the space, the money or a spare fridge i can keep larger kegs in. these, at the moment, are my only option and one i'm considering to get out of having to bottle 20L of beer for every brew. even if i have 10L in mini kegs and 10L of bottles would be preferable.
questions:
1. i usually carbonate with carb drops - what's the best way to work out how many per 5L minikeg? just some sort of priming guide? i've read you need less for kegging than for smaller bottles.
2. the guide below shows the co2 attachments for pouring - anyone use those with ease?
3. and vaseline? does that not give a strange taste when dunked into the brew?
any other tips and help would be great.
attachment below from a company who sells them.
