Kegging

Bottling homebrew is a process, when your done you have a backache and beer all over the place. I started with only 12oz bottles then moved to 22oz bottles/12oz bottles. Once I split a batch of cider into a 2.5gal oak cask and 22oz bombers. Next step....KEGS!

5 gal corny kegs is the easiest way to go. Get the kegs, get a CO2 tank and regulator setup, plumb it all up with tubing and viola! beers is kegged.

Over the next (insert time period) I will compile all of the necessary components to keg. Including a cold storage unit (fridge, freezer,etc) and probably make a bar to facilitate this dispensing method.

Time is money...less time spent on bottling = more money spent on house projects. Weird equation but its a mathematical truth.

"Bottling time equals $/house project X Scf (your spouses correction factor) X 2 days(Saturday & Sunday prime project time) divided by your weekly salary. "

I will be looking for willing volunteers to help drink the beer.
