Greetings from Raleigh

Hey,.. .Actually began brewing years ago, but have been in hiatus for a few years. I'm trying to get back into the groove full steam. Got tired of screwin with bottles/mini keg's etc and just stopped.

Have just built a Kegerator (many thanks to this site and craigslist) and am ready to go. Need help with carbonating while kegging. Got a couple batches ready to keg, but practiced first on a keg of water (should work,..right?) to no avail.

This site helped a ton building my Kegerator. Did the entire thing for less than $200 (just one tap so far,..have plans for three). Appreciate all the help!

Welcome

Howdy from the next town over.

Welcome

welcome... glad to hear you are getting back into homebrew.

i am also looking into building a kegerator as bottling is a bit tedious and i find myself making more and more batches these days. initial thoughts were to start with one of those stand alone freezers that could fit 2, 3, or maybe 4 of the 5 gallon kegs.

Any tips on how you made yours would be great. Sounds like you did some good work for fairly cheap. Nice work!

I got the fridge for free on craigslist, had CO2 tank and regulator, bought the tap/spout hardware,.. lines,..and a couple cornies at a local brew store here in Raleigh. Scour craigslist,..It's incredible what you can find there.

I like the chest freezer pictures I've seen here. I can see one happening for me down the road a bit. Currently I'm satisfies with mine, but can't get the carbonation thing down. I'll post a pic soon.
