This Is Why I Love My Brewshop Kegerator…(Slight Beer Porn)

Do you ever have one of those nights where you’re just not sure what kind of beer you’re in the mood for?

First we start with a sampling….

…and people wonder why I brew so much…





Then we move on some larger glasses…
Sorry about smudging an otherwise beautiful beer glass…wanted to keep it “work safe”.




Eventually, once I’m done puttering around in the brewshop, I’ll pull a full pint of something and head upstairs to be with the SWMBO…

“Only one beer tonight?” she’ll ask…

uh huh…

*drools* I am muchly jealous.

This is another push towards getting a house instead of a tiny tiny apartment. Anybody wanna sell me a house for a dollar? I'll go as high as five, but that's it!!

You should love that, its a beauty. At what point are there (dare I say it?) too many taps?

BM, you are awesome! Thanks for the laugh this morning.

Very Nice! Not what I was expecting after seing your BK & IC

Nice... you love those triscuits too! They are in at least 1/3 of the pics you post normally... Haha.

WHAT???NO BLOND ON TAP? from your post on the years take, that was your most brewed beer.

That's awesome, BM. Love the setup, and love the variety!

Maybe I'll have to have you help me inaugurate mine too, once it's built!

That is a lovely story! Just lovely!

Judging from that glass on the left, it must be chilly in your basement!

I have got to get my kegs set up.

I love your brewshop too

That's a beautiful sight, BM.

Very nice. I really need to add a couple more taps

BierMuncher, that is amazing. I'm showing those pics to SWMBO to convince her that I can build one too...

Dang, I gotta put that fifth faucet on. What the hell made me think that the 5th keg would ALWAYS be in some stage of lagering or cold conditioning. More often than not, it's ready to drink before the previous four kegs are kicked.. Oh well, another perlick and shank is just a phone call away, better get to getting.

The blonde is upstairs...on my "public" tap.

Man, that's the setup to have. 7 taps going in total with gourment Tricuits. I'm jealous too :rockin:

So the public gets to use the phallic beer dispensing device, eh?

Looks like you stole the old man's vintage beer glasses, or found a nice ebay deal.
What are those, circa 1970's?

Man, you must brew ALL THE TIME to keep 7 taps flowing

That's what I keep thinking. I'm feeling the pressure just to keep TWO taps provided with properly conditioned beer. It doesn't take too many billiards nights with friends to wipe out several kegs. I've got 10 gallons in primary, 15 gallons cold-conditioning in kegs, but only about 4 gallons available to serve. Gotta feed the two-headed beast! (Can't imagine having to feed the seven-headed one...)

When you think about it, he doesn't have to do any more work than anyone else once he builds up the stock. If you've got 7 good beers flowing, consumption doesn't really change.

I have 4 faucets and I always have more kegs on deck. The trick is, you don't THINK about brewing when a keg is about to kick. That's why you need at least 50% more kegs than faucets.

I suspect giving out samples at a shop is illegal in Oregon (we have some really oppressive laws), none of the places I've been to do it. The Oak Barrel in Berkeley always had a few on tap.

yeah, they usually have one of their own brews and sometimes stuff from triple rock i think i'll head over there tonight.

I hope one day I can accomplish what you have done here
:rockin:

I just hope someday I can enjoy Triscuits like you do.

Dude, when I grow up I wanna be just like you. That setup is badass!! How much ya think you have invested there?

bob

BM, you make it hard for others to live up to your standards!

It's not a rosey as you think, here is

That's it. My New Year's resolution is to have 8 taps by the end of the year.

i want to have 4 taps w/ 3 year around brews and a tap for a seasonal batch

And those were my vodka drinking days...

I've got 4 taps, 3 kegs, 2 kettles, and a 1 brewday per month wife...LOL!
