I've been thinking of ways to make an easy keg last longer then 3-4 days. What if after drinking about half the keg, I removed the bug. Then using a C02 bike tyre inflator I squirted/purged C02 into the half full keg to try to force to force any 02 out. Then put a fresh bung in the keg.
1. Would this work
2. Would a 16g cartridge be enough C02? Would it be two much?
3. The nozzle on the bit that attaches to the cartridge is quite stubby. Do I need some way, like attaching a bit of hosing or something to get the C02 right into the keg or will just putting the nozzle into the bung hole be enough
I'm not trying to force carb the keg just keep the beer fresh longer
I also came across an interesting idea. Basically put sanitised marlbes in the keg until the beer level reaches the top so there's no air in the keg. So after drinking half the keg I'd remove the bung pour loads of sanitised marbles in there then put a fresh bung in
