So this weekend went yardsaling with the girlfriend and found a NIB beer brewing kit and got it for $8
I brewed my own beer about a decade ago. I had a small space, and I quickly tired of the cleaning, sterilizing, bottling procedure so I eventually gave the hobby up after about 15 - 5 gal batches and gave my equipment away.
I have been thinking for quite a while of getting back into it since I now have the space and the kids are grown I have more time.
I really want to use Corny kegs to avoid the bottling hassle.
Money is tight right now so a kegerator and forced carbing are really not possible. Plus we would never really drink the beer at my house since beer drinking outings aways occur at events or other guys houses so portability would be necessary.
So will using a Corny Keg, naturally carbing, and using a hand pump and tap that attach directly to the keg work good? Any problems or concerns? What about using a paintball CO2 tank for dispensing? Taste concerns?
Also is there a perfect sized container out there for putting 5 gallon Corny Kegs in with ice?
Thanks for any help!
