That's a good point, maybe I'll pick up one of those. the only thing keeping me from doing that is that my garage fridge is about 43 degrees and I like it colder

Thank you so much for your response. Yeah, I was thinking that I could just shut down the keg at the source (I'm sorry, I forget the terminology) and take that connection and hook it up to the cornelius keg. does that make sense? (sorry for the noob terminology)

I have a kegerator with a half-full keg of Molson Canadian. My wife bought me a home brewing kit for Christmas and it has been a week since I put my first homebrew in a cornelius keg (with a separate co2 tank carbonating it). I don't want to wait until the half keg is done. is there any...

Thanks much! I spent so much time putting together a kegerator how-to that I haven't had a chance to get to the good stuff. Several kegs of Molson Canadian later, I'm ready for the home brew

Perfect, thanks so much! Yes, I'm kegging so that will be nice to be able to skip that step.

Sorry, I'm still catching up with all of the lingo (I hate being the noob). The local store provided me with a 5 oz pack of sugar (I hope that is enough detail). So I can skip that step altogether if I'm going to force carbonation later on? I skimmed that topic earlier and I was going to read...

I've read conflicting opinions about how much sugar to add to a homebrew that is going to be kegged. Some places said that you should cut the sugar in half, other places said by a third. Opinions? As I said in the title, I'm about to make my first batch. My wife bought me two different...
