And Now....Back To The Beer!!!!

Well, it finally happened.....I finally got everything together...well almost...and ready for my "kegerator". I found an old fridge and 6 corny kegs on Craigslist, bought the tank, and regulator on ebay, and the odds and ends, beer line, disconnects, etc. at Siciliano's.



The beer being transfered into the keg is my scotch ale that was brewed back in February. It has had a nice long secondary fermentation, and had a wonderful aroma coming out of the carboy. I tested a little of it and it had a really nice "warmth" to it, along with a nice sweetness, with just a faint hint of "pine" from the simicoe hops.












Here is the finished set up....well again, almost complete. I'm going to be putting two or 3 spouts in the door of the fridge. Right now, with the one keg, I have just a simple "cobra" or "picnic" tap for serving. The bottom line is it's still kegged beer on tap. After getting it in the fridge, I force carbonated it, setting up the keg with 30psi of CO2 for about 3 days, then turned it down to about 10psi for serving. Worked out pretty well. I have a hefeweisen in the basement still in secondary, and in the next few days or week, I'll get that kegged up as well.
