    Fridge or Freezer?

    The compresser just went out on my 4 tap fridge. Since I have to start over now, I was wondering what would be the best choice for a new kegorator. Should I go with a upright freezer or a fridge like last time? Any help would be great.

    Dry hop 2 times?

    I was thinking of dry hopping 2 seperate times. First with one type, then rack and then dryhop with another. Has anyone tried this, or will I be able to tell that I did this at all.

    Dry hopping my way

    When I dryhop I just dump whole hops right in. Then I rock back and forth once a day for a week or two. Why do I do this? Well I fell that it alows more of the beer to come in contact with the leafs. Is this OK, does anyone else do this?
