If you can get up to NE3 today you can borrow my bottle until the new year, I won't need it as the two kegs still with beer in I have already bottled a couple off.

Got a beer engine? or
Lay the corny it on its side and dispense through the gas inlet using gravity.I dont know if your cap will leak tho
Use an air compressor/foot pump either of these two methods you will need to use the beer up quickly
Or go to a local pub and beg a cylinder
Good luck :)

That's a very kind offer ....I think I might of come up with a plan, I've got some cip welding co2 I just home there's enough in it to dispense. ..there's always something. ...I've also got a co2 fire extinguisher which my wife isn't letting me go any where near ...until at least after Christmas :=P

The fire exstingisher, is the same thead as a pub gas cylinder, but remeber it has a dip tube in it, so, slowly turn up the gas or your be squinting liquid co2 in to your beer. Or you could turn the gas upside down
But what ever you do "happy beer drinking Xmas" :wink:
