ManCan mini-keg

This.

I like this.

 

Daddy like. Daddy want.

 

What a god awful name.

 

I thought Man Cans were 24oz Budweiser Cans...

That being said, I can totally get behind this. If only I lived closer to Comrade brewery.

 

If they could guarantee that local breweries like Trillium, Jack's Abby and various others in MA would support such a product, I'd definitely chip in but I doubt that the current, strict laws in my state would allow this

 

What's new in that concept besides the 128 aluminum growler? You can do the same with a regular 128 and a GrowlTap.

 

So, are you double carbonating? Like, the beer is already carbonated when it's grolwered but then you add more CO2 to it when it gets poured?

 

I back the project. I have a 64 and 128 with taps. But that double carbonation post has me thinking now

 

Can edit on my phone. .... they will ship sometime in September

 

What ever happened to just finishing the growler?!?! Seems like a lot of tool just to dispense one gallon of beer. Get a proper kegerator or finish your damn beer!

 

I can see it being useful for 1 gallon (128 oz) of beer, but a standard growler (64 oz) seems like a waste of equipment.

 

Out of curiosity (living in Maine where growler rules are f'ed to say the least), in what states COULD you show up with a non-brewery specific one gallon jug and get 'er filled at a brewery or fill station?

 

Looks like I made it in my garage...
I prefer this on paper...

I live in east TN. You can fill any growler here, but really it's not that great of beer to get filled. I went to a beer store in Boone NC and they would only fill their growers. NC may have changed that rule since then.

 

I can buy a full keg for way less. Just sayin'. It would be cool for people who only like draft beer and drink very little.

 

I just got mine to take to parties, taigate, concert, crap like that. Where I can leave the actual base in my cooler and just use the tap to pour my beer. It could be a POS but I've blown money on worse items.

 

It is no different than a keg at a bar. Kegs come carbonated and you dispense with CO2. You adjust pressure on kegs to maintain equilibrium based on the volumes of CO2 for the beer so that you do not over carb or under carb the beer over time. As beer is dispensed the CO2 fills the head space and prevents oxidation.

 

Yeah unless you drink very little or just want a lot of variety I don't get it. It says the 128 oz will retail for $195. I built my kegerator for a little over $200 and it can fit 3 cornies.
