Subject: Mini Keg supplies in Canada
So I'm moving again, this time to Toronto (Canada), but unlike previous
moves I'm not able to take my brewing supplies with me (small
apartment). Any way's, in an attempt to save a little space (and a lot
of headaches) I've been planning on switching from bottles to mini kegs
when I move.

Problem is, I cannot find a local supplier of mini kegs (or general
brewing supplies for that matter), and my usual mail-order guy (paddock
wood) doesn't carry the kegs themselves (although they do have many of
the mini keg supplies I need).

Anyone know of a supplier, either in Canada or one willing to ship up
here, who carries mini kegs and taps?

thanx

Bryan

Hi Bryan,

I just found a website for woodstick wines in ontario. http://www.woodstick-wines.ca/
It looks like they have what you're looking for:
"14440 1 X 5L ALUMINUM PARTY KEG 502 g $8.00 "

I don't know if Canadian stores sell those 5 liter minikegs of beer, but you
can use those. IF you're not gonna drink the entire keg in a day or two,
you can buy a CO2 tap through a homebrew shop or online at MoreBeer or
Northern Brewer or Williams Brewing, among others.

The bung in those minikegs usually has to be taken out (you can do it with
needle nose pliers and warm water), and replaced with a soft bung. I used
to do this when I lived in an apartment. I got tired of bottling after the
first batch!

It may be a sacrifice I'll have to make. Problem is that most of the
beer I see here in the mini's is shitty beer

Well, if you're not happy with the beer filled ones, then I'd just do a
google search for 5 Liter minikegs, and see what pops up. Who knows? You
might even find some on Ebay.
