Would this system work in a mini-kegerator to last for a couple of weeks or is this more for short-term use?

It works for as long as you keep it cold ;-) and can keep from drinking it...

Depends on how you charge it. If you use the small CO2 cartridge that comes with it, then it's only good for short term use, as you have to manually control the pressure in the keg. Long term use would require a larger air supply with a regulator.

We use it in a water cooler, which only pump when you push the button. I am not sure how long it would last under contineous use. It may overload with out a cool down time.

Yes it works great in my Kegerator which is basically a refrigerator with taps. No more frost in the air recirc filter

It all depends of course on how much co2 you despense. I usually only get around 3 weeks at maximum. That's the biggest drawback to this system - it is expensize over the long haul. If you have a bigger tank I would recommend the paintball canister system. More of a hassle since you have to refill the cartridge but cheaper over time

That is exactly what I bought it for.I have rinsed it out and ran water and bleach through it for 3 days. storing water now, i will test the drink-ability in a month.however if/when the water supply runs out, i'm sure it'll be fine.hehe

Yes and no.. Yes it will work to connect to a standard beer keg, and it will dispense beer in the refrigerator door, but you will also need a CO2 regulator to connect this item to a CO2 tank. Secondly there really are no instructions, as I remember, with this item but there should be some YouTube videos to show you how. Or perhaps emal the seller. Anyway I liked the kit and the price.

hey John, I have been using this stuff for a while now. I haven';t had gas longer than 3 months in a container and it works fine. the label states that it keep fuel fresh for up to 1 year however I assume it;s the conditions that you keep the gas in. If you have the gas in crazy conditions( hot or cold) i doubt the gas will make it to a year. i would say 6 months is a safe bet.

I truly believe it would work better in a mini fridge than it does in an ice chest. I would also advice to use the screws to keep it better installed because it tends to get bumped a lot.

it all depends on how much you use it. It could last 3 weeks, 2 weeks, a month.

I updated the keg link in the posting so if it did not work the first time is should this time. And the kegerator is called the K209B-2 Kegerator from Kegco if you need to look it up for some reason.

It worked really well for my application (Igloo mini fridge). However be very carefull there is a chance that the compressor can fail internally and over heat. If possible keep the overload circuit in line. I had a compressor fail and get really hot. Cap worked well and relay but the overload did not seem to cut power if the compressor internally shorts. I used these to replace the relay that seemed to be the weakest link in these small refridgerators. Hopefully this helps.

No the keg is not refillable. I keep it in frig. and it usually last 2 days. Hope this helped out.

Yes, it is. You can get a tap system like the Edgestar mini kegerator that comes with a conversion kit for non-heinekin mini kegs. Research it on the internet for more info, there are videos that show how to do it.

I would say as long as you used it within a week. I force carbed a 5 gallon keg and we used this to dispense it over the course of 4 days and couldn't tell a difference in the beer we poured on day 1 compared to day 4. You can also use the regular BB gun CO2 canisters with this and put a dime in the bottom of the charger to make up for the difference in size. They go flat after a few hours since you aren't screwing them in tight, but they are also 25 cents versus a couple bucks.

It'll work ok for a short time if the pocket holder doesn't seal. I wouldn't use it that way for more than a few hours. If you need it for like a weekend trip you're better off getting a small travel humidor, which you can use this drymistat or any other humidification that fits.

No, you will have to have the Co2 tank filled on your own. Cost about $15 to fill it and should last for 5-7, 1/4 to 1/2 kegs.
