Hey all,
Planning on blowing my tax return on a 2 x 9.5L keg/kererator system. However, I need a little advice on converting conditioning procedures, I think.
I currently brew 12L brews pretty much once per week. In primary for say 4 weeks; bottle 2, minimum; drink, enjoy. They're good.
So we're looking at minimum 6 weeks before consumption.
How do people manage this in keg systems? Say I keep four weeks in primary FV, then keg. I'd need two kegs on tap - how many more to be in line conditioning? At t$120 a pop I didn't really want to buy more than 3 x kegs.
But atm, as I'm consuming a 9L keg a week , I've usually got 3 x brews conditioning in bottles at any time. That's at least 5 x kegs!
Does converting to a kegging system therefore necessitate either drinking green beer or buying like 5 kegs?? By the time I buy a fridge, a CO2 bottle, the kegs, it's a good $800 'investment'. Is it worth it?
Basically beginners guide to converting to kegging, I suppose.
Thank you!
