Took a chance on one of these 6.6L Chinese cannonball kegs and it arrived today.

I'm pleasantly surprised at the quality! Stainless steel, removable ball lock posts, stainless dip tube and gas tube, prv similar to my cornies.

Anybody else using these? I fancy using it to set up a draught system in my campervan and for small batch demijohn experiments.

I was looking at some options similiar to this on aliexpress but the postage is usually killer. A lot of the options on these had a tap and little c02 charger. I know one of those c02 chargers wouldnt be so great for a full size corny but would it be sound enough for one of the smaller guys like the one above?

I've been thinking of going down this route as a step up from mini kegs, as I tend to like drinking a variety of beers which puts me off the full size corny route.

Yep, it's identical to the Beerhawk offering, but £30 cheaper! There's a lad in our HB club who works for Beerhawk who I was questioning about it.

Yeah, it would work fine. If you are planning on force carbing using small cylinders though it's a very expensive way to do it. You could use a soda stream bottle which is better value, but even that is around 10 times more expensive than using a 3kg or 6kg CO2 bottle .
