Kegging Initiated

[maxieboy]

Looks good to me! Looks like 5, maybe 6 kegs will fit in the deep part. Awesome. I’ve been limping along with a fridge doing double duty as ferm chamber and kegerator but recently freed up the cash for a new chest freezer. I already have all the parts for a 4 banger. Keezerator here I come!

There is one major drawback I have found to kegging.

The kegs empty faster than bottles.  I think mine all have black holes in the bottom.  :o

Kegging is awesome. The kegging process is easier and less time consuming than bottling and they seem to find a way to become empty rather quickly. That’s why I like to keep at least four in the chamber at least semi-loaded at all times with a couple waiting in line.  ;D

Critical equilibrium seems to be reached when one has more than 7 and brews 10G weekly.

100 gallons of beer brewed, never bottled a drop. Keggies rock.

As far as appliances and the wife… use one of her tricks.

“Oh THAT freezer? I’ve had that for years…”

ROFLMAO!!! That is fantastic…

My wife says to me this morning…“hmmm, having those beer taps could be dangerous.”

Holy &^$&, Batman!  :o You either throw a lot of parties or you must have a liver the size of Rhode Island!

All I can say is that I got 4 kegs recently and kegged my first beer.  I’ll never bottle again.  But, we drank the whole 5 gallons in a week which was a bit scary. Having beer on tap, at my fingertips, at any hour of the day may be too much temptation for someone like me.

Thought maybe I should shake the kegs once in a while so I’d be forced to wait for them to settle back down but I’d probably just end up drinking the foam.

I have 4 now and I can tell you that I’ll probably have 4 more real soon!

I got me a pitcher to fill from the keg so I don’t have to keep getting up.

That’s not lazy, it pragmatic ;D

I’m seriously considering moving the kegerator out of the kitchen and into the living room next to the couch. But then how would I get my exercise?

Exercise, schmexercise.

Didn’t take me very long to fill up the freezer.  Got the three way gas distributor successfully hooked up so I can keep four kegs on the gas.  Once I get the collar built and move the gas outside I’ll have room for six in there.

Ever since I started brewing I have friends… In fact there’s a shelf over the fridge where I put hooks for a few mugs…friends are getting their own hook and bringing a mug… Also, whenever we go visit someone I fill up at least one, sometimes two growlers…it goes quickly.
