if i force carbbed with a 4# tank, could i hook this up to my 2.5 gallon keg and stick it in the fridge without having to worry about hoses and gauges

I would say as long as you used it within a week. I force carbed a 5 gallon keg and we used this to dispense it over the course of 4 days and couldn't tell a difference in the beer we poured on day 1 compared to day 4. You can also use the regular BB gun CO2 canisters with this and put a dime in the bottom of the charger to make up for the difference in size. They go flat after a few hours since you aren't screwing them in tight, but they are also 25 cents versus a couple bucks.

You could, but I wouldn't recommend it. The pressure won't stay constant and over time your beer could gain or lose carbonation. I use this when I take a keg to a party with a picnic tap. Works great for that.

Sure. But I like others have had problems with the ball lock valves leaking and draining even a large size tank. So if the seal is not good... Better to loose a small CO2 cartage than a full bottle. So, go for it.BTW, I still have not tried it, I needed it on Thanksgiving when my tank leaked dry, but I couldn't find where I have it stashed away.

Dimensionally, it'll probably fit, however I'm not sure how you'll tap it. The keg already has an integrated gravity tap. The best thing is to put it in the fridge for at least 3 days and then open and enjoy. I've personally never tried to put it in a Heineken kegerator beer dispenser.

I have only used the small ones a couple times, think it was maybe a few 2 liter bottles, I think it says on his website. I have the home station and a paint ball tank I bought on Amazon, the store where I filled it at said that tank should have enough air to do a small beer keg.

That is correct. You just attached the supplied Heineken adapter to the beer line, then press it into place on top of the mini keg.

Hi Edward,Yes, you can still use the gauge. You will need a two stage regulator that has a POL inlet connection. Your gauge would hook inline between your tank and then the regulator.

If I understand your question correctly yes you can. I have my unit programmed to keep my keezer at 40 degrees, plus or minus a degree. If the keezer gets to 41 it kicks on the compressor, once it gets to 40 it turns off. It'll typically continue to drop down to 39ish before it stabslizes. If you want to keep yours between 34-37 you could set the temp to 35.5 plus or minus 1.5 degrees.

The connection only comes setup for a Sanke connection. However, your beer shop will have the know how to inexpensively convert the connects to fit your system. I use 2 5 gallon ball lock corny kegs and the system works great.

I think it works fine. Put your empty 1# tank in the freezer for 24 hrs. Invert your 20# tank and connect the 1 # with the shnozzle. Open the 20# and let the lpg drain into the the 1#. Give it 5 minutes. I have not actually weighed the refilled can v. a full new can, but it feels just as full.

I would say no. I use a small paint ball tank and when I get it filled it appears the fittings on the two tanks are different. To be 100% sure I would have to see a normal CO2 tank.

No, this adapter is intended to use with a CO2 tank with a gas beer plug and a regular soda bottle. A small tank of CO2 of 5 lbs can charge up to 3000 bottles of soda. I just charged my empty tank of CO2 after 3000 sodas and I pay about $ 10 in a welding supply store.

I purchased a double tap tower. My kegerator will only fit one full size keg but I use it to hook up two 5 gallon kegs and just rest it on the ledge at the back of the kegerator.

Sure, you could. I would recommend getting a full 5 gallon kit though. It'll be cheaper in the long run. Austin homebrew has some great kits to choose from.

It's meant to be used with a standard 5gal propane tank, but if you had a converter you could use a small 16.4oz camping tank, although you might run out before your job was done :-) I'm not sure that answered your question, but I tried!

I dont bottle from the bucket why would you? The fermentation is done in a carboy. You can attach your hose too the spigot and then put your racking cane on the hose

Unsure about a half-keg. I use a 5-gallon and it gets a rolling boil pretty easily. The jet does diffuse it, but start it straight up and then use the diffuser when you start to see it begin to boil. Never had it burn wort on me.

No, unless you have 2 carboys, and then you would have to carefully measure the stabilizer. Save the 3-gallon for making beer. I use 2 6-gallon carboys because I like to transfer the finished wine to a clean carboy for a couple of extra weeks.

I'm no sure, I just used plastic tubing and set the pressure of the keg to about 3-5 psi and it worked great!
