My new beer toy

Sign in to disble this ad
O.K folks, I decided it was time to make another addition to my brew-house.
For years I have kegged my own beer and served it with pic-nic taps from the confines of a modified chest freezer.
I decided it was time to invest in a kegerator. When I started researching the prices of kegerators I was amazed at how expensive they were. I had no idea that my idea of expensive was actually lower end. Kegerators that are in the $400.00 to $800.00 price range are, for the most part, inferior to commercial grade kegerators. Many of my friends recommended I put down some money and buy a commercial grade unit (Beverage air, True, etc.). I could not believe that these units cost as much as $1,500.00. I was having a hard time justifying the purchase of a kegerator for that much money. So I started searching Craigslist for any used kegerators of this caliber, I found nothing. There were tons of lower end units, but not what I wanted. I finally decided that I would suck it up and purchase a brand new Beverage air kegerator. Before I headed out to the restaurant supply store I took one more look at Craigslist and found what I was looking for. The ad was just few hours old. It was for a used Beverage Air kegerator. I was all over it and ended up paying $500.00 bucks and saving $800.00. This unit is two years old and is everything I wanted.
I brought it home and dismantled it. I cleaned it from top to bottom with sanitizers and soaps. My beer pours at about 37 degrees F.
I am in beer heaven, CHEERS!!!
Now I have my homebrew on tap that way it deserves to be dispensed. [IMG][/IMG]

It is indeed badass to the nth degree.

Homebrewing is economical, and tastes delicious...except when it doesn't. Then it's like 20000 times worse than Natty Ice.

Eww. Natty Ice.

Where's the nitrogen tank? Pretty lame having only a C02 tank and no nitrogen.



Just kidding!!!!!!!

That's a great setup and I'm actually pretty jealous.

All I've got is a dedicated beer fridge that will hold a couple of C- kegs.

I need one of those. I converted a full size fridge for homebrew kegs and I'm sure it's killing my electric bill when on!

yeah, this things is hard to resist. When I arrive home I have to keep moving so that I don't get tempted to drink beer till all my work is done. I still have to order a few parts for it, but this thing works great. Even the tower has a dedicated refrigeration line that runs to the very top. This eliminates foamy pours.

I found that I probably drink less when the kegerator is in action. If I just want a taste, I can pull a few ounces and I'm good to go. I don't need to drink a whole bottle. At least that's what I tell my wife.

Heh, true dat. I tried an all malt kit that was free with my homebrewing kit and it tastes very funkified. If things don't improve in 2 weeks, I'm dumping it like an ugly chick.

Very nice. Special note though: I notice the sticker that says "There's Nothing Like A Guinness." Please tell me you're not serving Guinness at that temperature.

What percentage of the total you spend on beer over your lifetime would this be?
