Homebrewing: Brew day was succesful!!!

C'mon man! You can't start a thread like that with NO details!

I'm about to keg my latest brew I think. I've been meaning to convert to kegs and I think it's time. Then it'll be time for another recipe... not sure what to go with, maybe a variation of the pale ale I made last year that turned out to be more of a scottish red.

Well my brew measured a 1.050-052 OG. Estimate OG was 1.047.

I think i used a little more DME than called for, but not complaining.

I'm coming close to kegging. However, i don't know where i'll put the kegerator. My fermenting freezer/fridge takes up alot of room.

If i convert to kegging, however, the time decreases.

You still need a good week in the keg though. People will tell you that you can force carb overnight, but the taste won't be right.

I have a small kegerator now, made for one 15.5 gallon keg. I'm also about to get a large upright freezer so even though it seems counter-productive I'm going to install a 2-tap system into the freezer with a temp controller and use the top half and door as just a beer fridge. I'm getting one that can expand to 4 taps but I'll start with two. Then I can use the kegerator as a fermenting fridge.

Damn. Well we are coming up then. Why don't y'all come to nola for the away game and we can hit the bars.

Well, i have a chest freezer with a temp controller that i use for my fermenting freezer.

Works great. Easier than the swamp bucket i used (igloo cube ice chest).

Though i do feel that that chest freezer would make a great multi tap kegerator.

Probably so... depending on the size you can probably easily fit 4 corny kegs and then either put two dual-tap towers or fit it with the taps on the front. Fratastic converted one into a kegerator and I think he has 4 taps on it... it's not huge either.

I've been looking at the conversion a guy did on homebrewtalk.com. It was also published in brew your own magazine. You've probably seen it.

I think it was a 4 tap. Looked pretty awesome.

But my need to set my fermenting temperatures outweighs my want for kegging.

And there's nothing wrong with bottles.

Yeah. But pain of cleaning all those damn bottle i have, and then you can cut down on your carb time with keg. But, for the moment, i'm staying with kegging.

I put instructions and pictures on our website in the blog section I believe. The pictures are not all of my kegerator, but friends as well. They are not pulled from the web is what I am getting at.
