Keg

My partictular keg is a 2.5 gallon keg by AEB. 14½" tall, and 8½" wide.

Since the trailer should be capable of carrying a 5 gallon keg at some point, the max size should be 25" tall, and 8½" wide.

Genuine Innovations Cornelius Keg CO2 Charger

CO2 Cartridges

The injector will work with commonly available threaded CO2 cartridges.

These are very expensive at bike shops, upwards of $5 each for 16 gram units.

3/8-24UNF-1A thread. Note: Schreader valves are 5/16–32 thread.

They can be got for much cheaper, the key is to ensure that the cartrige is made up of pure CO2:
