Nice job, I like it.
My buddy has some of those regulators, they're awesome.

where did you get the mini regulator?

I need to make one of these for camping.

Sweet setup. I have that or Push's roller cooler setup on the backburner. Would be perfect for the beach.

The regulator, mini keg and perlick faucet aren't inexpensive parts, but should last you a long time.

Looks like you have a paintball cartridge instead of the little disposable CO2 canisters?

yep, the regulator is from williams brewing. b3 carries them too but they dont offer the bracket. and yes, that is a 3.5oz paintball tank. $1 refill is much better than those pricey disposable canisters. i machined the adapter between the regulator and paintball tank.

the whole setup wasnt cheap... but im kind of a tool/equipment whore. :?

How badly does it foam with such a short length of tubing between the keg and the faucet?
