Did you go through with this purchase? I just received the N. Amer. Outdoors SAF-T fryer for Christmas yesterday. I'll probably try my first batch within a week or two. Let me know how it went! I'll jump back on here after after I use mine and give you all an update.

It doesn't leak when I keep the gas connected, but I do not want to force carbonate it too early...

My sister is getting married soon, and I'm planning on brewing an IPA/Pale ale for the reception. I normally do partial boils, and keg after fermentation. Having a kegerator for normal beer dispensing, I usually force carbonate for 48 hours at 30psi. For this batch for the reception, I plan to...
