here's another suggestion, though only a small keg.

A three gallon keg and 5lb CO2 tank with regulator fit inside a 10 gallon round cooler (the ones many use for lauter tuns). Just drill a hole at the top and install a tap. Or... there is a cube shaped blue "52 can" cooler with a handle and wheels. I saw someone once who had two put two 3 gallon kegs and CO2 tank inside and installed a tap tower on the lid.

I would try that. Anyone know what cooler that would work with? Or the dimensions?
I just happen to have two 3 gallon kegs AND a spare tap tower...

Here is a similar one with the same cooler. Scroll down to Cpt Kirks post.

It is an Igloo cooler. I've seen them at Lowes.

That's awesome, and looks super simple. Love the PVC tower.
I'll be rigging something that up for my son's christening in Sept. Wish I had it for our block party earlier this month...
Thanks for the links.

I'm a little late to this, but this is one I copied from a guy on the NB forum. I never got around to adding an extra faucet, but not much too it. The 70 qt. Igloo Ice Cube can hold 2 - 3 gallon cornys. I can also get a 20 oz CO2 paintball tank in there with a fitting for my regulator. We take it to the family reunion ever year. Works like a charm and rolls!

dcbc - nice build. Looks like mine. What'd you use to write on it? Adhesive chalkboard?

Just spray on chalkboard paint. Not very durable by any means. But cheap and easy.
