So I just finished my order to complete my keezer. Current setup:
3 Taps
Dual Reg - one with 3 way distributor to cornies, other is going to a sanke connector for the few big parties I throw a year and roast a pig etc. Taps will usually be hooked up to cornies, except during parties were I'll run 2 cornies and 1 half barrel.
That being said, I have lots of freezer space for expansion should the need ever arise. I've read a few brewing books. I currently make wine, and after gearing for "basic" winemaking, then having to rebuy stuff because it was more of a PITA than a fun hobby, I'm trying to avoid the same mistake.
I don't (think I) need a 3 tier setup like I've seen. I was planning on either starting with stove top batches, or using one of the few turkey fryer bases I have. What are some of the biggest hassles you have doing it small time like this? What gear do you have that makes it troublesome? What are must haves that pretty much any brewer upgrades to once they make a few batches?
