I got really lucky on my kegging gear. I had brewed and bottled about 5 batches before I had an epiphany; my dad worked for Pepsi back in the '70s and I suddenly remembered that I grew up with a commercial soda fountain in my house. When I asked pops about it before going home for a visit this month he said we could take a look at the old gear and I could help myself. There ended up being 4 cornies, spools of hoses, all the fittings and disconnects, and a 20# co2 tank. Jackpot. When I got home I scored a mini fridge on CL for $20 and (thanks to this forum), got it working in short order. Kegged an American wheat and loving it.
So, here's the issue: I think when I had to physically watch the bottles of beer diminish I paid more attention. Now, it's just too easy to pour a glass without worrying. I used to have maybe 1 beer a day, now I grab draws much more frequently. It's probably just because it's new, but did any of you guys increase your daily intake when you switched?
Cheers,
