Having an absolute blast brewing these days. Got my CO2 system put together; a 20 lb container, bevy & gas lines with fittings (thanks Northern Brewer!); a double-regulator with wyes on each (thanks Keg Connection!) and four used cornies with replacement O-rings (thanks local guy selling them to me!). Right now I have a brown ale and an Oktoberfest carbed up and things are working as they should.
Found a great 12cf chest freezer on Kijiji for cheap and picked that up tonight. I've got a lager (my first one!) fermenting (used my first starter!) in our "spare" fridge that I'll move over to the freezer after diacetyl rest.
Got half a dozen or so batches planned for this fall and a ton of wine to make as well. Now I need to man up and move to extract brewing...maybe even try my hand at a small all-grain boil. What a great hobsession!
