A corny - IN A SUITCASE - that's crazy talk.

Great idea though.

Inspiring! Thanks very much for all that; I think it has to be done then! I hope it works out for me too, in fact if it avoids bottling it'd even be worth having a dedicated portable cornie-based setup.

Not only the suitcase, but I especially like the idea of a push-chair disguise :-)

Cheers

If you get a cornny portable charger, make sure you use the screw treaded co2 bulbs the non treaded cheap ones don't fit, I sold someone on here the non treaded ones I tryed.
oh and take a few bulbs each time you go out.
The best way I've found to dispense is by inflating to 5psi, pour, and inflate once the pressure lowers whilst still pouring(gentle on the trigger) that works the best way for me, slow but works.
The pressure in small kegs drops rapidly compared to larger kegs, due to the smaller space, so it's far to difficult to keep a constant pressure without reg's.

Also the charger is great for scaring the wife or other unsuspecting people.

right i know this is an old thread but...........


its that time of the year where we visit our friends in newcastle again, only a short break but will be taking a 9l cornny full of something all the same.


i plan on drinking from it on the train, with the cornny on the table in plain sight, the wife has huge problems with this and says i'll get thrown off or worse be arrested for taking a bomb on a train, and that it should be in bag by the side/under the table.

dispensing beer from a cornny in a bag ITS CRIMINAL !!!!!!

any train condutors on here ?
