Building a DIY Randall 3.0
"What is a Randall you may ask? Back around 2002, Dogfish Head Brewing figured out how to turn a filter housing into a device that could infuse beers with various ingredients as they were being poured. They named this genius device "Randall the Enamel Animal", and the when they actually started building them for the beer industry the name stuck. The original Randall stirred up the beer world quite a bit, but it did have a pretty serious flaw; that being that it foamed, a lot!So, in 2010 they set out to re-design the Randall to address the foaming issue. What ended up working was to add a second "de-foaming" chamber, which can be surrounded by ice, and a flow control faucet to balance the beer flow on the way out.
Now, you can buy these pre-built, directly from Dogfish Head for (at the time of writing) $298.00. While this is great for commercial breweries and some heavy pocketed home brewers, we have to face that fact that most of us home brewers are cheap and always looking for ways to save as much money as possible."

PET-a-Draft mini beer keg system
"It solves a few issues for lovers of home-made and craft beer:
- Beer going flat once the growler has been opened.
- Having to clean and fill 48 bottles to store your batch of home brewed beer.
- It allows you to use 2 liter pop bottles (PET) which is cheap or your glass growlers.
Apparently you can get 3 liter pop bottles in the US. Or buy 6 litter PET bottles from Tap-a-draft. They use 38 mm caps, same as beer growlers.
You only need a few parts and it requires very little skill.
Assumes you already have a CO2 tank and regulator
DON'T use this without a regulator set at less than 40 PSI !!" - Lompie

See here for the party tote that goes with it!
