Compact Bar Idea

    Hi, i've recently picked up some stuff to set up a keg at home. I got a cooler, gas, 2 taps, regulator and connectors for 2 kegs.

    I hoping to rig up a half keg of guinness but don't have space to build a full bar.

    Any ideas? Would something like a kitchen island work?

    Even a table would work.
    You just need something for the tap to clamp onto.

    I was hoping to conceal alot of the equipment.

    The beer revolu was just pointing out that all you need is a table, everything after that is optional.
    There's nothing stopping you concealing equipment if you want.

    There are lots of island taps in pubs around the place. A full install can fit inside a fridge. Which is about the same size as a single kitchen unit. Really just depends on how big the cooler and intended kegs are.

    Would it be safe to put gas on its side or is it a must that it stands up?

    That will probably depend on the type of gas and the design of the bottle. But I think standard cylinders need to stand upright
