Hello!
This is the mini kegerator I have:
Homecraft Black Stainless Steel Easy-Dispensing Tap Mini Kegerator Cooling System, Includes Reusable Growler, CO2 Cartridges, Removable Drip Tray & Cleaning Kit, Beer Fresh For 30 Days, 5-liter Amazon.com: Homecraft Black Stainless Steel Easy-Dispensing Tap Mini Kegerator Cooling System, Includes Reusable Growler, CO2 Cartridges, Removable Drip Tray & Cleaning Kit, Beer Fresh For 30 Days, 5-liter : Appliances
I’ve never done a home brew before, so I’m a bit confused and needing advisement on how to utilize my home brew in this machine. The brew kit I’m starting with is the craft-a-brew kit. I understand that to use this machine I can’t follow the craft-a-brew instructions exactly because I won’t be bottling, but that’s about all I know!
So:
1. This kegerator is compatible with a heinekeg, the plastic growler included, or a 5L metal keg. So do I put my brew in the plastic growler, or a metal keg?
2. If I’m using the growler or keg, what is the difference in the process? Do I prime one the keg altogether instead of right before bottling?
Thanks in advance!
