The debate has gone on (hold on, while I grab a beer), (ok I'm back) about bottles vs. kegs. I have a keg, and my original plan was to bottle since it would be easier to transport. 22oz bottles are easier since there are less bottles. I may bottle some in 12oz also just so we have a few 12oz beers to carry around.
Well, that's still the plan for the IPA, but plans have changed for the Hefeweizen! I recently came across a cheap kegerator for $150, but I missed out and someone got to it before me. That got me thinking... I could make my own for cheap. I may have a lead on some cheap components on eBay. Just think of it as me getting paid back for selling my old brewing equipment at a loss, then buying new equipment again. This may make it all a wash. I will be purchasing a co2 tank, tap, hoses, and a regulator, as well as a second keg! If all goes as planned, we will be drinking Tecova Hefeweizen on tap in the California summertime weather!
Ok, I'm off to peel labels off bottles. Oh so fun! At least there's less since they are 22oz bottles!
Cheers!
