<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>I had a friend of mine that I really
trust a lot take and cut a little over a foot out of a coke keg and weld it back
together now it will lay on its side in the fridge. I removed the draw tube from
the shortened keg and I put the tap directly on to the keg with no hose, and I
can condition it right in the keg and pour it off from the keg without any
problems. Since I drink 90% of what I drink at room temperature though, I keep
the other nine coke kegs full sized and standing up right in a cooler box in the
garage that was built just to hold ten coke kegs and eight carboys that has
a small window unit air conditioner on it. I have to lager in three gallon
batches since I don't have a refrigerator big enough to hold a 6.5
gallon carboy. I had a good friend take out most of the contents of the
inside of his frige with a mini keg, but I think he had an infection that made
it over pressure itself.</FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>I have never used the mini kegs, and some
would question the wisdom of pressuring a keg that has been welded on, but I
have been using it now for about three years with no
trouble.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
