Simple question - I appreciate that here are a variety of metal "mini-keg" systems available, but why is the standard plastic pressure barrel only available in a 5 gallon size?
Fermenting buckets come in a very wide variety of sizes (5, 10, 15, 25, 30 etc) - so why does no-one manufacture smaller size (& cheap) plastic pressure barrels with standard size taps? A 2.5 gallon barrel would be ideal.
Or do they? ...
Even better if they were designed to be stackable - to make a "clip-together" tower with different brews on tap ...
Surely it would also reduce the issue of having to add CO2 to improve the flow from a less than half-full 5 gal barrel?
