I'm starting to think I must be weird cos I actually enjoy bottling beer - I don't see it as something evil. It also means that I can enjoy any number of different beers in a session and I've got a choice of about 10 different brews to choice from as I write. Unless I can find room for a number of kegs, I'm limited to drinking only a few at a time. Bad luck if your brew is ordinary or would benefit from a six months rest in the bottom of a cupboard. Lastly, am I unusual for a home brewer in that I have a social life ? I'd look strange dragging a keg to a mate's place for a bbq. That's why Aussies invented eskies, so I can take my beer with me !! Maybe the next thread is "What do keggers take to a bbq .. if they are invited !!
