    What ever you do make sure you get the gas, cooler and all the other crap you need otherwise the pints will be crap.

    Or get mini kegs of Bittburger or Heineken for 20 quid each in Dunnes. Bittburger is seriously good beer.

    They only have about 5 pints though. Regular Kegs have arounf 80 as far as I know.

    Yes I know, but being a lazy bastard getting mini kegs is far less hassle.

    That's why it's handy to have a friend that worked (why did he have to quit) in electrolux and could get everything needed to setup a keg and set it all up in no time.

    That is actually a fantastic Idea cos it would cost roughly the same price!!!
    When I get money together I am doing that!!!

    Big black bins half full of water and Ice outside the back door, if you have a garden that is, is an excellent cooler.

    With some salt that will cause the Ice to melt at under 0 degrees. That will keep the Beer colder!!!

    The Heineken mini-kegs have 5 litres in them, so around 8 pints, so would only need ten!
