Default Kegged Homebrew has changed my life

Ok, that's a little dramatic but this is the first weekend that I've had my own brews on draft downstairs. It's been an amazing weekend.

Isn't it wonderful! I resisted for quite a while, then really kicked myself for being such a dumb@$$.

Enjoy!

I said the same thing for a long time. If you have the space to bottle, you have the space to keg. I'm kegging sans-keezer right now, and the homebrew is at 55 degrees -- perfect!

Kegs are the only way to go! I brewed Saturday and in between doing the mash, sparges and boiling I kegged 2 different batches from separate fermenters, plus cleaning everything. There's no way I could have sanitized 100 bottles, filled and capped that many bottles in the same time, at least without losing my mind.
