So I have a lot to be happy about: I got a new promotion at work and found out I'm going to be a father in 8 months.
Awesome, right? It is for me.
However, I'll be moving in with my parents for about a year or two so that my fiance and I can save up for a house and we can move out of our ****ty, mold infested, electrical nightmare that is our current town home.
Unfortunately, I won't have room for both my homebrew set up, and my kegerator. Something's got to give.
So which one should I keep?
1) Keep the kegerator, and utilize the services of my LHBS/Brew-on-Premise spot to keep the keg beer flowing. They let me design my own recipes so it's still technically my beer! It is more expensive, though, and largely removes me from the brewing process. However, that also means no clean up.
2) Keep my brew gear, but drastically reduce my brewing capacity. I already BIAB (sort of), but with a burner, a chiller, a SS brewtech fermenter with FTS, a 15 gallon pot, associated hoses, and all the bottles I would now need; it takes up too much space. EDIT: also, with a baby, I probably won't have much time for brewing.
So option one? Or option two?
