Equipment and Software / Experience with Kegco Kegerator and/or BeverageFactory.com?

« on: August 31, 2012, 06:48:33 AM »

Looking at getting a kegerator. Don't have the time or inclination to DIY. I'd like to get something that I can order to my configuration and have it arrive and just work. I'm looking at this model from BeverageFactory.com:

Does anyone have any experience with this model? Any feedback on buying from BeverageFactory.com would also be appreciated.

Thanks.

General Homebrew Discussion / Small Batch questions

« on: August 22, 2012, 08:26:09 AM »

Now that I've got a few 5 gallon batches under my belt, I want to start doing some recipe crafting, etc.  I'd like to dial in to a pale ale that really works for me.  I don't think I want to do it in 5 gallon batches.  Seems like too much product for what I'm considering a series of incremental (and sometimes competing) experiments in recipe changes.  So I'm thinking about doing 2.5 gal batches.  The question I have, is what equipment do you use for fermentation (primary and secondary)?  Mostly concerned about oxidation while sitting in the fermenter(s) with a lot more headspace due to the lower liquid volume.

Any insights/suggestions/recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Kegging and Bottling / Mixing Commercial and Homebrew Kegs on one system

« on: August 08, 2012, 10:38:49 AM »

Hi.  Newb here.  Recently started homebrewing and have a couple of batches under my belt.  Not ready to start kegging yet, but definitely see the appeal.  I've been looking at getting a two-tap kegerator system for the home, and would like to have the option to have both a commercial 1/6 keg and a home brew keg on tap.  Is that possible with the CO2?  Does each line have it's own regulator?

Thanks in advance,
