It is absolutely unbelievable how quickly beer goes after you start pouring pints from a keg! 5 gallons in 3 weeks? This could quickly turn into trouble. I'll admit, I was definately not the only one drinking, but I was the majority stakeholder...
To all you guys and gals out there wanting to start kegging, go for it! It is fairly inexpensive to get started if you check out the right places. My freezer was picked up off of Craigslist for $50.00. I bought my Ranco temperature controller for about $60.00 (pre-wired). And I got a 2-keg dual-regulator kit from Midwest for $215.00 including shipping.
Admittedly, as with all other "side projects" in this obsession, more equipment has been purchased and has upped the total amount spent. More gas and beer lines, 2 more kegs, and a 4-way splitter to be exact. All in all though, I think I've spent right around $450-500 for all the equipment. I'm far from being done though....
Been eyeing up some of the "keezer" projects on the forums and will soon be ordering faucets and will be building something similiar to Jester's keezer (you da man Jester!). Sorry for the long post, but just wanted to let you bottlers out there know that kegging is fun, easy, and makes you drink more! To you guys out there with the kegging setups already, thanks for planting the seed!
