Jerry Keg

[brewbienewbie]

This guy on another forum reckons he's figured out a way to make a ghetto keg out of a jerry can and a CO2 bike pump:

Has anyone here tried anything like this? I've been thinking of something similiar but I wasn't sure if the tap seal would hold under carbonation pressure

What a fantastic idea if it works.

That is bloody brilliant, I might have a go on a smaller jerry first though, I'm guessing this would be best with beers that should be served low on carb though, maybe mild or stout.

Amazing! He's got the tyre valves and everything. Looks like I'm going to be giving this a go.

the main problem i see is they arent pressure rated so therefore not designed to hold pressure. all it takes is for the tap or the valve hes using to let go under pressure and someones going to get hurt more than likey.
as ive previously said ive seen fittings embedded in walls and thats on systems well below what pressure we are talking about in one of those little chargers.
but saying that if you choose to do this, its at your own risk.
as per my other answer in this thread #24
