Last time I took a keg out of the house it was admittedly April so no summer scorchers, I took the falsie out of my mash tun surrounded it in ice. Stayed cold through a party Friday night, gathering Saturday night, BBQ Sunday lunch, still had ice in it Monday morning.

$100 close to work in great condition. Not a bargain but a pretty good deal i thought.

I use this https://www.bunnings.com.au/esky-52l-wheeled-hard-cooler_p3240589 with a mini-reg and bronco tap... plenty of room for drink for the wife/ kids too. And its on wheels!

Hi Guys

well this is what I normally use when I go camping.. brought a 100 ltr water tank form Aldi cheap as I think it was around $60 at the time great for a 19 to 23 ltr keg fill with ice good to go....

Even easier solution is a willow 60l garbage bin. Throw your keg/s in it, top with ice and away you go. Wrap it in space foil or a car windshield sun reflector to insulate better.

Exactly. If you want to do camping properly and share with mates, wheelie bins are the way to go.
2 x 20 Litre buckets, some expanding foam, a soda stream bottle, adapter and reg, some line and a couple of taps and everyone has a good time.

I saw these on another brewing site. 5 gallon so could be made with a 20lt one i think. Heaps of other similar if y google it. Maybe wouldnt last a camping trip but easy to cart around.

so you need 2 or three of them, I don't see a problem. If you happen to go hiking just get the wife* and kids wheel em along!!

Right???
