I have posted previously on this

I use bag in boxes as they collapse when the beer is dispensed, thus not allowing air in
Try Simon Vine at Jigsaw

Bag in box and cardboard box very cheap and reusable

I`ve used them for years, if primed right they stay fresh for at least 2 weeks.

but don't you run the risk of them splitting under the pressure?

 

[chrisp]

I have not had any split under pressure, as they are double skinned, but you do need to regularly vent the pressure

My conditioning cabinet failed when I was away for 4 days recently and the tap blew out, where it got too hot and expanded however, dumping 4 gallons of Timothy Taylor all over the floor :sick:

I'm looking at alternatives to bottles (sorry for hi jacking the thread)
I know cornies are the way to go but can't afford them right now

I have several budget kegs but never get a good result with them so may try these polypins or the small kegs you can get as I have a despenser for them
