We aren't expecting the homebrew to last very long. Last time we kicked one keg in 55 minutes.
I'm thinking while you are trying to store them before the event.

I happened to notice that a keg fit nicely in my 10 gallon igloo round cooler... that is until I put a thermometer in it to monitor mash temps better

Walmart sells a cheap trash can that will hold two kegs. I've used them a couple of times for tailgating, and they were cheap enough that I threw them out when I was done. They should keep everything cold for a day, but you need to drain and re-fill will ice if it is longer than a day.

I mentioned in another active thread that I'll be pouring two kegs for an upcoming neighborhood 4th of July party. Since I'm need of a new homebrew DIY project...I've decided to make these! I found these on the MoreBeer forum.
The only tweak being that I'm going to attach a tap right to the out post so I don't have to hook up beer line.

are those the original lids with a hole cut in them or something else?

looks like something else to me. The original seems to be hanging off the right side. I would bet it is 1/2" foam insulation trimmed to fit.

that's what I thought too but I wasn't sure. that's a nice idea in that you wouldn't damage the cooler if you bought one of those taps that goes directly on the post.

Hosting parties is a lot of work so I wouldn't mind bringing kegs to people's houses for their parties. How do you guys deal with cloudy beer due to transportation?

I keg clear beer. :)Honestly I've never had that much of a problem with much cloudiness. I don't do much keg hopping so I just go with it.Hosting parties is a lot of work so I wouldn't mind bringing kegs to people's houses for their parties.

even my non-dry hopped beers have yeast in suspension when they get kegged. I cold crash the primary but I hate to leave it in the primary long enough to fully clear due to oxidation concerns. this typically settles out within a couple of weeks but it is sitting at the bottom of the keg waiting to get stirred up.

There's always a bit in my kegs when clean them, no matter how clear I thought it was.

I could pour the clearest beer ever and for whatever reason there is usually a little sediment at the bottom of the keg.

Brew a Hefeweisen... it's supposed to be cloudy. :-)It's one of the reasons that is what I am taking. Plus it goes down easy with the German crowd that is used to BMC.

or just brew something crazy hoppy where people are used to it being cloudy

Huh? Crazy hoppy here is clear If I know I will move the keg I put the beer in a keg with a trimmed dip tube and then move it to a new keg before moving it.or just brew something crazy hoppy where people are used to it being cloudy
