Count me in!!

Just a collar for now and latter on I'll convert to coffin style. I went ahead and went with perlicks. Was going to go with cheap kegco faucet/shank setups but keg connection had a good package deal and you could upgrade to perlicks fairly cheaply.

$10 for me at the LHBS. Intial setup (3 cornie kegs, all connections, lines, dual regulator and 5lb C02 tank) was $200. Outside of that setup unless you buy/build a kegerator/keezer you're pretty much done. I'm dropping $600 into a 20.4 cuft keezer this weekend. Just order all the insides...

Okay I'm building my first keezer and drawing a few blanks on the things I'll need and exactly how to hook up the gas lines. I'm hoping to get everything ordered tonight and have the keezer done by next weekend. Any suggestions on below would be great. I know I'm going to need. - 3...

I've been thinking of building a kegerator for a few weeks now and was still undecided until this weekend. Found a local guy giving away a 7 cuft holiday freezer to anyone that would come remove it. Of course I jumped on it right away and drove to his house to pick it up. It ends up being a...

Thanks for the post I knew there had to be a way to do it without a beer gun and was hoping I wouldn't have to drive a hour and half back to the nearest homebrew store since I was just there yesterday. Got all the stuff to do it today without another trip.

Looking for a good ale recipe to make for Christmas (going with pumpkin for Thanksgiving.

So my Oatmeal Stout is finally kegged and carbonation is going well. I've got a few friends with Growlers that are wanting to take some with them to a BYOB concert tonight. I've never tried this (my first time kegging a brew) but I'm assuming that the beer will loose carbonation if I simply...

Good deal. I didn't think I'd done anything wrong but I always side with caution and prepare for the worst with things like this. Once I get my other two kegs filled its time to build my keezer.

Yeah I did put the tank in with it, not sure why I didn't realize what was going on as I typed this. I've actually been in the basement tightening all the lines and checking for leaks again while waiting on a reply. So my next question on this is are you not suppose to leave the keg hooked...

Okay so I kegged my first beer into a 5 gal corny keg yesterday. Rolled it around on 35 psi for a while then put it in the frig which is between 35 and 40 degrees for the last 24 hours at 12 psi. Went to check on it when I got home and the C02 in the keg has dropped from approximately...

Great thanks for the quick reply. I came out a lot better than I thought since the kegging kit has everything you mentioned but the picnic line and manifold. Now just to decide on what I'm going to do for a kegerator later on.

Okay so I'm completely new to kegging and need some help. I'm buying a kegging system (three 5 gal corny kegs) this weekend and need to know what all parts I should expect to buy so that I can dispense beer easily after finally using the system. I'm not in a hurry to buy the dispensing...

I just brewed my first batch (An Oktoberfest Ale) and while I've got the bottles and equipment needed to bottle this batch I would like to move up to kegging after this. I've put a lot of time into researching brewing beer but none into kegging. My questions are: 1) How much should I plan...
