WOOOOHOOO!!! YUS!!! My buddy drinks alot of beer at a bar downtown. In doing so he has developed a relationship with the bartender. He brings the bartender a homebrew, bartender buys him a beer. He has been doing this for a few months now. One day the bartender asked him if he had any use for some old pepsi kegs. Of course, my buddy replied. Come back tomorrow says the barkeep. Today he brings his homebrew in and plops it on the bar and the bartender says hey, what do you drive? A van he replies. Ahhh, GREAT! Pull it around back, we'll drink in a bit. He pulls the van around back and the bartender greets him with a big smile.... in front of a stack of 15 PEPSI KEGS!!!! FREE!!!! My buddy gave me 3 just for brewing beer with him.:rockin: :rockin: OMG!!!! I am so stoked!!!! So now I have 3 Kegs awaiting brew to be so lovingly received. I just got a keg set up from a friend (co2 tank and regulator, sanky keg(woohoo keggle time!) and the adaptor for the keg, the lines and a tap that is just begging for a fridge to call its home). I think all I need (other than a fridge) is 2 cornelius keg ball joint connectors and I am in business. Think I'll cut that old sanky keg connector off and put it in a shoe box just in case for some reason someone needs one I have one on hand. I keep seeing free fridges on craiglist, think I'll pick one of them up and cross my fingers it works. Anyone have any tips on cleaning out an old keg setup? Should I just run a new beer line? How does someone with big arms clean out a old 5 gal corny keg? Will I need to get a brush to clean out the out line inside the keg? Will beer line cleaner work? What would a good recepie for my first keg batch be? I like hoppy, maybe not too bitter hoppy, more Mac Ale hoppy, or Broken Halo hoppy. Man i'm so stoked!! I'm gonna stop typing now and grab a beer to celebrate! and one more rockin for the road... :::> :rockin: <:::
