I carried on an email conversation with someone--I think his login name was
ignatz and he was somewhere at an "ih" at&t site--about the Rotokeg.
(Hello, are you still out there?)  He had the very devil of a time with the
thing.  It sounded like a contamination problem of some sort, but he was an
experienced brewer and had chased down all the possibilities that either of
us could think of for sources of contamination.  I don't know if he ever
solved it, but he was working pretty hard at it without much luck...so
caveat.

Our local supplier of homebrew equipment strongly recommends the soft-drink
systems for home-kegged beer.  There are several advantages--they're
available (look for used to save money); they're the right size (5 gallons,
which is a standard homebrew batch size as opposed to the 15 gal beer keg
size); they're designed for pressure; they're stainless and hence easy to
clean and durable.
