I went to the local brewshop yesterday simply to collect some grain and came away with my first keg complete with all the bits and bobs needed to serve up my own brews. I did have some explaining to do to the wife but sold her on the "but there will be no more bottles lying around" line.
My plans were to prime in the keg and use one of those nifty handheld CO2 dispensers to give my lightly carbonated ale a helping hand to reach the glass.
Then I remembered seeing some vids on making a Real Ale beer engine like the ones below:

Wondering if anyone has tried this or can think of an alternative.
I understand that some of you may not think this is a big deal but for a English man living in exile this is my beer nirvana
Cheers,
Lee
p.s. tried to include a pic of racking off into my new keg. indulge my excitement
