Right. I needed to make a move on this so bought this:

Will do. Will be in Nov probably as Corny fittings are coming from China.

... Are these reusable, though?
Not-reuseable = one-shot. Or, at least that's how I was referring to it.

These are some being discussed on another forum, but I've no idea who supplies them.

They are an all in one ferment & dispense. For hombrewers.

The keykeg is different again.. Imo for industry.

Good find PeeBee. Once you have a coupler or two, and perhaps a supply of empties these could be really good. They need no gas, but you would need to invent a washer. Very similar technology to wine boxes.

The item pictured is intended as a keg. Their fermenter/kegs are clear PET.

But having had the source of these plastic kegs identified for me (Keg King, Australia) it appears I (or someone else discussing them) may have misinterpreted the descriptions ... they don't appear to have internal bags (they come with a PRV to fit on the inside of that pictured neck port), though looking at that "neck port" it appears the manufacturer has other intentions with that port (Key-Keg-like air dispense?).

Fermenter King Junior looks great. Would hold up as a keg no probs, too I reckon. Smallest the do is 20L, though, it seems.

Pressure sprayer arrived. I quickly got rid of the pump etc.

Happy with it so far. Really sturdy. Can handle up to 40PSI

Only thing I don't like is that black bit that has to go inside. Can't see any way round it ATM. Any ideas?

Hence, I was featuring those "kegs" that do come as 10L. Same Aussie bunch making them, and they list "Brew2Bottle" as UK suppliers, but I see none on the B2B Website.

"Mashbag" wants this: 10L Minikeg / Cask - The Home Brew Forum (offsite link). You can see why I thought they had inner bags (and they might have!), but the bags would not be what was being asked for in the OP.

That's about as far as I got, I cut the bottom of the black bit off and was going to replace the inner red part with a flat plate fitted with a Schrader (?) valve. It never happened :( - I did consider a 3D printed replacement for the whole screw cap but, you've guessed, it never happened :roll:

But it is a sturdy piece of kit :)

Trillions. Hand Mouldable Thermoplastic.
Make whatever insert you need. Surprisingly easy stuff to use. Once cool its rock hard & drill-able.

Trillions looks amazing. Never heard of it!

I already ordered some bits to seal the existing cap. Black dip pipe will be completely removed and (hopefully) after an o ring and a 43mm acrylic disc later, I should have a seal. Will update.
