Low-budget DIY 5L kegging set up

Really cheap mod here, but it does rely on having a CO2 source connector to a tyre inflator.

You can check pressure with one of these:

I add CO2 with a tyre inflator like this hooked up to CO2 via a regulator.

JMC,

I am really interested in upgrading my system to a bigger gas source and using a tyre inflator. Would you be so kind as to talk me through your set up and point me in the right direction please? These 16g bulbs are good but I'm sure this way would be a lot cheaper in the long run.

Cheers

Hi Floyd.
Will do. I'll get some pics and post asap. ATB John

Floyd, where do you get the co2 cartridge adaptor, I take it works by turning the dial at the end?

Hi Floyd.
Thought it would be better to do a separate post rather than hijack this one, so I've added the following post explaining how I connected CO2 cylinder to tyre inflator

You may be able to pick one up cheaper if you do some searching...

And yes, it works by turning the dial. Works a treat.
