in process of building one. wondering if there are any downfalls of going with stainless steel fridge? my worry is it it will show dings/scratches more over time. if people spill on it and gets dirty. is black a safer bet down the road in terms of looking good in few years.

I would like to a small keg option something like 2gal. money is not an issue but space is. i live in condo so no room for the large kegs for now. i searched net found "tap a draft" and "party pig" anyone have any feedback on these?

what do you use to decide when ready to bottle? cause my reading says its ready but the airlock will still bubble every now and than. i have the coppers kit w/ the S shaped airlock and i saw on vid that said the two bubbles should be even levels of water when its ready.

so while researching cleaning.. i read that you shouldn't use tap water to rinse. sooo my question is... i used tap water to brew with? i boiled a gallon to mix w/ the coopers kit than rest was cold tap water.. its been one week its my first batch should i expect bad results?

aside from brewer store or online. anywhere else i can purchase sanitizer? my grocery store didn't have any. would like home depot maybe?
