Free gas. 18 litre corny fill instead of 19?

could you install a bladder onto gas post and pump air in to maintain pressure?

Oo I like that, properly outside the box thinking.

Ferment sugar solution in a second corny and use a kegland inline secondary regulator or spunding valve to feed regulated pressure into the corny on tap.

Yup. Use cheapo bread yeast, make as much as the cylinder will hold. Prolly a 4litre brew. That could work.

I like people that are willing to try ideas out to see if they work and admire your willingness to give it a go @MashBag but ...

but do think no cylinder/faff/rental/refill has its merits.

... I can't help feeling that it sounds more of a faff than just using a cylinder 🤣 that being said make sure you keep us updated if you do decide to go for it 👍

Is there nowhere local that you can get a cylinder without an ongoing rental? I paid a deposit and the about £20 for a refill which lasts me over a year

I have got one.. And prolly a local supplier. Just think, when prefected, this might be better. Wish me luck.

I've found that if I completely fill a Corny with 19L of beer, it's as flat as a fart, because as hard as I try, I can't get it to hold gas. I've shaken it, rolled it about, even played catch.

If you like that thing, great.

I naturally carbonate my beer during fermentation and do a closed transfer. I have a full keg of carbonated beer plus a couple of bottles.
