I have one of those big champagne bottles like the winner uses to spray all over everyone at the end of a race. Thought it would make a great vessel for a party keg. Sure it is glass and may break if not handled properly. It is stout enough for champagne so should work great as a party keg. Glass also suites me better then any of the plastics and I have not been able to find a suitable sized stainless container to work with.
So any ideas of how to seal it off with a stopper of some kind that will not leak and allow for gas in and beer out? Not sure a wire basket is the best choice plus where would you find a few in magnum size?
Have been thinking of some kind of metal gizmo that would fit over the top of a rubber stopper and hook under the rim of the bottle opening. That idea is from the old days when pop came in glass bottles and we had such a gizmo that could be used to seal up the larger bottles for later use. It had a screw adjustment on the top with a rubber washer and hooked on the rim of the bottle. Tighten the screw and the bottle was sealed. No need for that as the stopper would be pushed out with gas pressure and hold the gizmo in place until the pressure is relieved when empty.
Plumbing is easy and a stopper with a single hole could be used with a tube-in-a-tube design. The inclusion of a gas safety relief valve is noted as essential.
So anyone have an idea other then champagne baskets or my gizmo?
