getting just a little closer to kegging

[Evan]

well, i live in louisville, and the damn power is out...no idea when it'll get back on. so to warm up a little, i decided to walk around lowes check out freezers. i've seen on there i've liked, but figured i'd find one for sale, online, newspaper, through people i know...so i haven't pulled the trigger. been ordering kegs/regulators and other items in the mean time, just waiting for a freezer with the dimensions i wanted to fall in my lap. well it hasn't and while at lowes, i see the one i want is on clearance for about $20 off. so i snagged it up, they are bringing it over sunday morning (hope power comes on soon).

also i found out when i got to work today, my order from kegkits (never order from them FYI https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f19/online-ordering-rant-100024/ ) finally did ship, only 2.5 weeks past when they charged me, but it gets here monday!

so i have just one keg now, a freezer that can can hold six, regulators, a free CO2 tank (need to get it checked/filled). looks like i need some beer and air line, shank and forward sealing tap OH and temp control, and i can get this keg thing rolling! well for the time i might just buy a picnic tap and open the lid, until i get more kegs.

i can't wait for the day i have 4 beers on tap, and another 2 waiting in my very own keezer!

I used mine with picnic taps for 3 months before I bought faucets. The only downside to the picnic style is you open the lid a lot (well if you drink alot ) and I had to put damp rid in to keep it dry inside.

Sweet! Don't skimp on your beer line, get some good quality beverage tubing.

damp rid...add that to the list. well i only have one keg coming right now, haven't really looked around yet to see who has the best deal on used kegs. they all seem to be within a few bucks.
