Mods - Not sure if this is appropriate place (That Tent) for this thread; if it's not feel free to move it.
So...here's my question...I am a homebrewer and was thinking about brewing a batch (5 gallons) or two and bringing that beer with me.
I know *no glass* so bottling that beer is out. No biggie. How about kegs? And I'm not talking about your full blown kegs you see at the bar...these are along the lines of the old "soda kegs" or cornelius kegs, if you will.
I believe someone asked that back a couple of years ago and was told no "corny" kegs either, nothing bigger than a Coors party ball. I would go ahead and risk it for some sweet homebrew.
They might ask about a nitrogen/CO2 setup (thinking it's nitrous), so I would bring a manual tap (although I seem to remember corny kegs having a weird tap).
Q- What will we be allowed to bring into the campgrounds? (Coolers, food, beer, kegs, stoves, etc.) A- You can bring coolers with a consumable amount of provisions into the camping area; however, they cannot be brought into the Centeroo / concert field. SMALL grills and camping stoves will be allowed. No kegs, No pig roasts, no 55-gallon drums!
Thanks M&B. I actually had printed off the .pdf of the info guide but hadn't gotten around to reading it yet.
I hope when I get an email response from them they say "hey, those are really small, sure you can bring them in". One can hope, right?
I know it would be really hard to hide a keg in your car...at least a traditionally sized one. Since the corny keg has a much smaller footprint, I'm hoping to get lucky.
Definitely arriving on Thursday, my buddy and I are planning on meeting up with several folks to get in line EARLY Thursday AM. Hopefully it will be good to go if I can just bury it under a bunch of stuff.
And I could always tell them it's a spare propane/gas tank for the pop up camper we're bringing.

honestly i'd try to hide it. is it small enough to roll up in a sleeping bag or something? if you could get it in there you should be golden. the thing about arriving thursday is soemtime they check your car and sometimes they don't so you have the edge there
I drove right into B-Roo last year on Thursday mid-afternoon without a problem. I didn't have a keg, but they simply asked that I open my trunk, took a quick look (didn't touch or move a thing), a let me on my way. Didn't even look at the interior of my car. I think that the REAL problem arises in trying to keep a keg cold. The heat is unbearable, and keeping it on ice will cost you a fortune at festival-ice prices. Yeah, it is doable. It would really suck for it to get confiscated though. Your decision.

It should be no problem if it's placed hidden in the camper. It's a pop-up camper. Has anyone ever seen them make someone erect their camper upon entry if it's a pop up camper? That would be annoying in the least, and labor intensive. Just curious...

I don't know what the BFD is about kegs. Disguise it as part of a potty with seat on top. No one wants to look in a potty!
I'm with you. Only because I'm sure we're all responsible folks here who actually know how to clean up after themselves. Unfortunately theres alot of assholes at Bonnaroo, and the campgrounds would be like a graveyard for empty kegs come monday.
I'm RV'ing this year. After I check out the situation (size) of the RV, I'll put some thought into bringing a keg.
I've never taken a RV to Roo before. Does anyone how thoroughly they check the interior at the gates?
I was born in the back seat of a Yellow Cab in a hospital loading zone and with the meter still running. I emerged needing a shave and shouted 'Time Square, and step on it!

i disagree. like glowsticks, keg shells are a valuable commodity to hippys. if my neighbor left their shell after they departed from teh roo, i'd totally toss it in my car.
when you get a keg you have to put a $100 deposit on the shell
*i like coconuts, you can break them open they smell like ladies lyin in the sun** *Hell I don't even know where I am** *for now I must sit here and ponder the yonder: The herbivores did well cause their food didn't never run** *We listen, if it feels good We shake** *You made a big impression for a girl of your size, Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes.**
My kegs are 5 gallon cornelius kegs (5 gal.) - and I actually bought the kegs I have, they aren't rentals/deposits. Trust me, I will be bringing them home with me, I need to fill them with beer again. That Honey Wheat I brewed last night...let's just say that it will probably be gone by that Thursday night at 'Roo. The wort tasted damn good last night.
I do whatever my Rice Krispies tell me to...
