    Hey folks,

    I'm in the beginning stages of thinking about changing and old fridge out to a kegerator...
    My plan is to to take my side by side fridge and set it up to handle two pony kegs.
    My ultimate hope is to get a corny keg and try my hand at home brewing...And brewing to fill a small keg is, I think, easier than bottling...
    any thoughts from the home brewers out there....

    the down side to this...I loose a lot of space in the basement fridge, which would probably upset the spousal unit...

    Before we finally got good beer in Alabama, I was brewing:
    • 2.5 gallon water bottle as disposable, primary fermenter and source of water
    • 1.1 mini-kegs instead of bottles, a lot less inventory to keep up and simpler to deal with
    • canned malt but quality hops and yeast
    Now, I've switch to distilled spirits as the latent sugar and carb load makes beer impractical for my older, slower metabolism.

    GOOD LUCK!
