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

Oo I like that, properly outside the box thinking.could you install a bladder onto gas post and pump air in to mainain pressure?
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.
... 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 👍but do think no cylinder/faff/rental/refill has its merits.
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.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.
That sounds like a leaky corny or you can defy physics 🤣🤣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.

A couple of things here. Firstly, farts aren't flat, what with them being made up almost entirely* of gas.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.

Sorry, when I said it won't hold gas, the corny itself is full.A couple of things here. Firstly, farts aren't flat, what with them being made up almost entirely* of gas.
Secondly, I've never found the shaking or rolling method of carbonation to be either effective or accurate. Either does nothing or ends up over carbonated. Best way I've found is the fire and forget method, set it to serving pressure and leave for a week.
Thirdly, As said above, you've got a leak somewhere. Replace your seals and even the posts. Cheap to do.
*We won't discuss the alternatives here.
By full do you mean to the very top or to the bottom of the gas post? Because it shouldn't be above the bottom of the gas post. Unless you want beer coming out of all orifices. Of the corny that is.Sorry, when I said it won't hold gas, the corny itself is full.
I wonder if I should leave a bit of headspace? I have a habit of filling my cornys to the top, and there's nowhere to actually store much gas.
So as I drink it, it gets more carbonated. Does that make sense?
