Last week I was pleasantly surprised when, without prompting, my wife said "you can keg your beer rather than bottle it right...? why don't we start doing that?" In hopes that others may share the opportunity to pause, contemplate and then reply "well, the equipment does cost a bit initially, but I suppose you're right that it would be more convenient..." I thought I'd share my technique... leave bottles everywhere... A have a couple 12ers of empties in the laundry room, a couple more in the guest bathroom / fermentation area and a few more in the garage. My wife isn't a fan of clutter, and is now really pushing this kegging idea...
So...what should I get? I've read the threads on this forum pointing out the pros and cons of midwest's brew logic 2 keg system and reached the conclusion that it would probably work well for me, but to keep my wife happy, I need to store these things in a generally streamlined fashion and would love to have a self contained tap in the kitchen...is there a pre-packaged kegerator system compatible with the aforementioned kegging rig that won't totally break the bank? neither of my LHBSs have kegerators...any chance to cut a deal with a merchant that sells both kegging and refrigeration gear? If I can get this whole project done right inside of a $5-600 budget everybody will be happy...anyone have a shopping list for me? Thanks in advance...
