TL/DR: I'm looking for the easiest way to set up a few (2-4) smaller (2.5 g) kegs in a dedicated fridge now that i'm getting back into brewing. Does anyone have experience with such a set up?
I'm getting back into homebrewing for the first time essentially since my son was born. I had just started half-batch brewing AG brewing, and given COVID restrictions on hosting, I'm probably going to continue to brew 2-3 gallon batches for the foreseeable future.
I had always bottled beer, and it was one of the reasons I stopped home brewing - cleaning, storing, sterilizing and filling bottles is a pain.
I see now that there are several options for smaller kegs (not available a decade ago when I was brewing regularly) - including 2.5 g kegs, and I'm hoping to get set up with 2-4 of these.
Have people had a lot of experience with these?
I'm hoping to avoid even basic construction (eg drilling holes to convert something a full on kegerator/keezer). My current plan is to buy a fridge and just "tap the kegs," and store them in the fridge.
Is this a terrible plan? Has anyone set up a series of smaller kegs like this rather than full on keezers full of corny kegs?
thanks in advance
