Thanks! It has certainly been a conversation piece when we've had company. Of course it helps that beer comes out of the front ;)

Didn't think of the building a keezer out of a car trunk. That's a brilliant idea for a themed bar or garage man cave. You'll have to let us know if you ever build one.

Thank you. Honestly I really didn't know how I was going to get from the concept in my head to the finished product when I started. As with most projects I undertake....I ended up figuring it out along the way. Fortunately I did have any huge mistakes I couldn't recover from ;)

Thanks! It really has been nice not having to go to the garage every time I want a beer! The short answer is, no…..I don’t get liquid C02 in my beer. I was initially worried about the same thing. But….I really really really didn’t want the bottle taking up precious space...

WOW.....Thank you all for the responses!!! Sounds like secondary fermentation wasn't really necessary for this particular beer. Given the additional risk of contamination, aeration, etc... I will likely opt for a longer primary next time I brew a lighter ale. I am actually interested in tasting...

Let me start by saying hello. I am a long time craft beer lover and first time brewer. This is my first post on HBT but I have already found a ton of incredibly useful information and tips. Question first......I'm not sure whether to bottle my first batch now or let it ride in secondary...
