Keezer day is my own personal holiday today.
Over the last few weeks (perhaps months even) I have been slowly collecting the bits and pieces to start kegging.
I started out with the dual kegging setup from Midwest. They even give you a full tank if you pick it up locally. I've then collected a couple more kegs since then, as well as a 4-way splitter and various other bits and pieces.
I even kegged 3 batches of beer without having a way to cool the beer. I had a batch of India Brown Ale, an Autumn Amber and a batch of cyser just sitting there, waiting to be consumed.
Just yesterday, the guys from the local appliance place delivered my 14.8 cu. ft. freezer. So this morning I hopped down to one of the local homebrew shops and picked up a temperature regulator and now have my three kegs all hooked up to gas and cooling down.
I will admit that I just couldn't wait, my wife and I tried out the kegs just a little bit ago. The beer wasn't cold yet, but it still tasted pretty damned good.
I'm going to be just using picnic taps for a while, but as my financial reserves begin to rebound from the shock of buying a chest freezer, I'll start to buy some real faucets and make my freezer look a little more like something that should be dispensing beer, instead of something that should be cooling half a cow.
