What are you drinking now?

[Swarley88]

I need to dig the one you sent me out of the stash and try it.

Its a pretty great BBA Stout. I like it a bunch. I had the Barleywine too. That still needs some age to it.

Looks like a good night.

It was. I polished off the four pack of the stout. Had some Ultimat Vodka. If you ever see that, get it. Good vodka, but the bottle you get is the real prize. All glass, thick and heavy, labels come off.

Some jackie o'$ nut brown ale.. might have to brew one soon.
Hope to get a few growlers tomorrow at the mcbc taproom grand opening! ! Super stoked to have a brewery 200 ft from my work.

What brewery is that?

 

[mcbaumannerb]

Jackie O's is in Athens OH ... a great brewery who unfortunately has a pretty limited distribution area.

IVe heard of them, I was talking about the MCBC taproom he was talking about

 

[hawgwild81]

I hope he sent some Bomb! and Noir.

I sent some Bomb! but no Noir. The whole state only got like 10 cases of Noir and it was gone before anyone knew it was here. The upside is Prairie can't sell Bomb! In OK because of the abv, so we are getting supposed to be getting more shipments of it.

Water with this quick breakfast.

 

[Matthias]

Coffee, and water. It's above 0 this morning so that's a bonus.

 

[Hello]

Coffee..it's cold here.

(I am certain to be kicked out of the club soon for this BS)
What would you do...buy a basic keg setup with 3 picinic taps until it is a better time to splurge on the fridge shanks and perlicks (I don't think I'll bother with anything else and just do it right the first time) OR get a 2 faucet setup for slightly more knowing that a third faucet can fit & it is what I really want so I can have 3 kegs on tap?

Basically the price difference, because I need the kegs, will be this:

Basic: $217.30 + $140 for two kegs (I have one already)
Faucet setup (2): $282.13 + $70 for the other keg
Faucet setup (3): $377.10 + 140 for the other two kegs

I wanted 3 for variety and/or cider. I would like to never bottle cider again...my luck hasn't been super with that.

I would go something like a kegging setup with 3 way manifold, or regulator depending on how you want to do things, and 2 taps/shanks. You can always add on a cobra hose for the third or use the third gas out for carbing while waiting for tapping.

Alternately if you are going on the 1 regulator per keg, you can get a dual pressure regulator and buy an add-on regulator for it to make it a 3 when funds allow.

I've got a massive lager chamber right now. Just wrap it in your warmer to keep it from freezing in the five degree air and I'll set it right outside the door.

Water and coffee ...

That might work here for a few days, but it's supposed to be highs in the 50s -60s here next week. I wish I had a bookie for the weather. I think I'd be cleaning up on the weather here today. Forecast is still saying 4"-8". Not going to happen.

When I switched to kegging I focused more on collecting kegs first to get away from bottling because I hate it with a passion. I used picnic taps for a while and still do at times because I have about twice as many kegs as faucets currently. It all comes down to personal preference. Perlicks don't make the beer taste any better, but dammit are they pretty!!!

On the coffee.

 

[Setesh]

I still use picnic taps as I can't put a collar on my keezer at the moment. They work fine but I really want faucets.

I'm drinking coffee ATM. I think I might go grab a pint for lunch though.

Now you lost me.

Water. I need to go buy dog food. I just realized the pooch is out and we're expecting an ice storm. And me without a chimney to use.

Nice lineup! I'll be there later to help you drink those.

 

[Hello]

Water. I got my dog food and Petsmart was crazy busy. I have bread, milk, and beer. I should be okay.

When I switched to kegging I focused more on collecting kegs first to get away from bottling because I hate it with a passion.

On the coffee.

I just understood that the Perlicks weren't just pretty, but they offered some sort of protection against sticking. I'm a one woman show here as I cannot get my dog to drink. Even though I go through motions of drinking far too frequently to not drinking during the week, I just want to be sure I don't end up with stuck faucets.

I think what I'll do for now are the picnic taps. I have a birthday literally right around the corner and mama is likely going to ask me what I'm interested in as a gift. So I can get the taprite regulator with air distributor and spend the "savings" on two kegs. I've put in an offer on eBay for two kegs that'll save me $25 if accepted but I am doubtful it'll be accepted. I think I dealt with this yahoo before and he was firm on his $45 a piece and $27 shipping. Not far from Kegconnection.

I appreciate all the help.

If that deal doesnt work on Ebay, check out beverage elements. I would trust buying from a retailer like that, then someone off ebay. The quality of keg has a higher chance of being better from beverage elements IMO.

+1 for Beverage Elements! I bought my second keg and a CO2 bottle from them a couple years ago. Couldn't have been happier. I bought one of the single handle ball locks which are a pretty good deal although I think they're more expensive now than what I paid then. But it's a good keg. Came completely cleaned and pressurized. I didn't have to replace anything.

The perlick design is forward sealing and doesn't stick as much. It is also easier to clean but I have noticed that they tend to drip a little more than a standard faucet after you pour. Not an issue if you have a drip tray.

Stupid people have got me going Irish on my coffee

You sir, do not mess around!

I have to shake this -15 degrees off somehow!

Vanilla lemongrass kombucha out of a half pint glass. Too sick for a beer, but that doesn't mean I can't drink out of a beer glass.

Water and two steaks for lunch.

The snowpocalypse is starting. Guess I should heat some strike water and mill some grain. Leaning towards another lager. CAP or IPL?
