After a year of bottling I finally made the jump to kegging. SWMBO picked me up a dual keg system as a thank you after I got us into a new house in a nicer neighborhood (renting). It ended up that the second fridge that was in the basement of my new place didn't work, so i went out and bought a chest freezer.
So i'm slowly going to start working on a keezer build, i was planning on putting it in the basement here, but it won't fit so it's now sitting next to our fridge. I'm going to end up building a collar, planning on making it tall enough and i should be able to fit a third keg!
I'm carbing up my scottish ale at the moment, i just ordered a temp. controller today. So i figured by the time i get that the brew will be carbed up and aged a bit more (it's been in primary a bit over a month, i've been holding off so it could be my first kegged batch). I've been running it at 20 psi since it's at 60 degrees. I took a sample, just to test and see if it was working. I feel like it's my first batch all over again, i can't wait to drink it.
Next up i need to get another batch ready to drop in that second keg, i'm planning a cream ale, so i can get another up and running fairly quickly. Then onto building the collar and eventually getting some taps and handles, i'm perfectly fine with just running the picnic taps for now. This all should be interesting as i am far from a skilled craftsman, hell, i can't even call myself a craftsman.
Ugh, sorry about the ginormous pictures.
