You can't use a hand pump unless you plan on dispensing the keg in 1 day. If you want to keep the keg on tap for any period of time, you'll need a beer gas (Nitro/Co2 mix) for the guinness, a nitro regulator to regulate the beer gas pressure, gas line from the regulator to the coupler, beer line from the coupler to a stout faucet. In the beer equipment store, here, there's a stout tapping kit.

It does not include the coupler, or the gas tank. The coupler, you can get, it sounds like. You would have to find a local gas supplier to see if you can get beer gas. (75% nitro/25% co2).

You'd have to check with Canadian customs regarding duty fees. Those fees aren't charged by MicroMatic. Those fees are charged to you by your government.
I'm hoping the keg can be in a room temperature without going bad before opening? I'm planning to have a tub of ice, it worked great and fast with the 30L keg. So what your saying is that I buy those equipment and I'll be able to drink Guinness for a month+ without it going bad :O I just hope the equipment don't cost more then a 50L keg. I'll have a look into this atm.
