Hi Guys,
I've been on here for about 2 years now and have just purchased 2 corney kegs from an auction site. They are supposed to come with disconnects and a "Party tap".
My question is, whats the best way of feeding gas to them? I have seen some posts about soda stream canisters but cant seem to find much else.
Any help or advice will be greatly recieved.

Re: CO2
The "best" way is subjective... There are several way to do it though.
1) Find a local supplier for a pub CO2 bottle. You'll also need a regulator like this one. This is the easiest way to force carbonate and serve, as the regulator will keep a constant pressure on the beer.
2) Fit an s30 (soda stream) valve into the lid of the keg and a pressure gauge onto the gas disconnect. This way you don't need the space for a full size gas bottle, but you need to add CO2 one squirt at a time. Works fine, but it's not "set and forget" like the regulator method.
3) Use one of these CO2 injector things. Not recommended for force carbonation cos it'll cost you a fortune in gas cartridges. works ok for serving though.
There are probably more ways, but those are the most common.
