Portable Keg Charger

[KGB]

Hi guys, I had a quick search and found a little bit of info on these but want some more opinions before I invested. I noticed someone in the "party kegs" thread was using one.

Thanks, Kieren.

I've got one used it a few times then got a soda stream cylinder for party system use.
It worked ok but was a bit of a pain in the arse, having to top up every couple of pours.
Not a bad way to get your portable system up and running. I might start re-using mine when I get my half size keg just for ease of portability.

Cheers FROGMAN.

I bought one for portakeg duties. Haven't used it yet but I'm confident it will do the job. I was advised at purchase time that it was no good for carbonating kegs - just for dispensing.

Thanks guys. I've got a Supagas cylinder for carbonating and use at home, just wanted this for taking kegs to mates places etc. Rather than lugging the whole shebang around.
I found one the same on Craftbrewer along with some other goodies and grabbed them tonight.

Here are the links in case any other clueless fool like myself wants to go portable:

Mini tap - http://craftbrewer.com.au/index.php?page=s...t&Itemid=29
Extra liquid disconnect - http://craftbrewer.com.au/index.php?page=s...t&Itemid=29

Throw those together with a short length of beer line, a soda bulb and a pre carbonated keg and you're ready to travel.
I'll report back here when I've done some thorough field tests.
