I've been playing, recycling my old mash tun for a summer 9L corny solution. I already have a mini CO2 bulb reg, but 16g cylinders get a bit tedious - I've been looking at the paintball and sodastream CO2 options for a while. I've gone for sodastream, as 425g is a good amount of gas and they are £9 exchange in the supermarket.
Once you have a bigger bottle it seems sensible to use a coolbox, as you can fix the bottle vertically and also mount a tap - and, um, keep it cool too without buckets of water etc.. I had to attack the lid with a Dremel as you need quite a bit of height clearance, especially with the discos, and even this massive (too big) coolbox isn't quite tall enough. A smaller and taller coolbox would be good, but I don't think they exist...

Don't need it at home!
