Beer charger

Drinking from a keg can be great, it's also fairly easy to handle when you have it at home. However if you want to bring your keg to a friends house or similar it can be a pain to lug a big tube of gas with you. My father has been searching for a way to fix this problem. He found the solution in a beer charger. It's basically a small plastic device with a small tube of gas inside.

Here is a link to the site where we bought it and refills.

Here is a picture of it:


My father then bought a plastic connection to the keg from Humlegården, which you can see in the below picture:

However he didn't use the beer charger to get initial pressure into the keg. He used the big tube at home to get pressure into the keg at first and he took it about 1-1,5 points higher then usual. Then just used the beer charger to get some more pressure into the keg as we started tapping beer out of it. He also used a very thin 5 meter pipe that you can see in the below picture. The reason he uses a very thing and long line is because of the high pressure in the keg. With a shorter pipe the pressure would have been to high.
