Kegging and Bottling / Re: Never keg'd before,

« on: December 02, 2009, 07:26:28 pm »

Thanks to all.  I just bought a 2 corny keg system from http://stores.kegconnection.com/Detail.bok?no=324 The dude that took the call answered my questions and was very helpful.  Based on this experience, I will do business with them again in the future.

Kegging and Bottling / Never keg'd before,

« on: December 02, 2009, 08:09:22 am »

I dread having to clean and sanitize bottles (I currently use flip-top pint size and magnum bottles), so Santa has committed to delivering a new system.  But I don't know which set-up to get. 

I brew 5 gal batches and will drink a pint or two every other day or so.  My question is; Do I get a 3 gal mini draft, a couple of party pigs, or a 5 gal corny?  I'm leaning toward the 5 gal corny given that I'm trying to decrease my time spent brewing, but does the beer stay fresh for the 5 to 6 weeks it takes me to consume it at a rate of a pint or 2 per day?

Ingredients / Ever tried persimmon in your brew?

I saw some great looking in-season persimmon at the market and wondered if anyone has ever added it to their mash?  Anyone?
