I don't have enough kegs to go around so I leave my beer in the secondary until it's ready to go. I generally hit mine up with 25-30 psi and let sit for a couple days in the kegerator, regulate down to service pressure, let sit one day, then enjoy. I haven't had any problems. Then again, I'm...

Very, very nice setup. I imagine it looks like walking into one of those little bars in an upscale hotel. Sadly, a basement isn't an option in SoCal and I'd have to demo several walls and be down two bedrooms to achieve something like this at my house.

Hello all. I've been a "member" since '05 but I've been out of AK and the homebrew game for a few years. I'm glad to be getting back into brewing and back on the forums. I guess I shouldn't have made my handle so specific. :/ Al

Take it however you like.

Apparently I run in much different circles.

Okay, maybe I'm just dense. What's with the picture?

Is there truly such a thing?

I used to post quite often and still check the boards ocassionally. I've spent 10 of the last 24 months in Iraq with horrible internet connections. The new layout seems to hog a bit more bandwidth and my patience isn't what it used to be. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a bit more time at...

Did anyone check out those prices? Holy crap, I don't even buy beer that expensive for myself. I love my dog and all but she'll have to be content with whatever I'm drinking. :mug:

Let's just say a little bird told me. I'm glad to be back online and the forum.
