- Well, many times friends and I would buy a keg of beer, putting a deposit
- on the keg itself, and also on either an air pump, run by hand to restore
- some of the pressure as the beer level goes down, or a CO2 regulator &
- fittings as John DeCarlo mentions. The first alternative was the
- easiest, because the distributer had these pump fittings handy and did
- not require a very large deposit. Also, for regular keg customers,
- some distributors would trust us( we were such at one time) and waive
- the deposits.
