Well, you came to the right place! Welcome! I think your first consideration should be how you are going to chill down your just boiled wort to pitching temps in that crazy Arizona heat!

Welcome.

My advise for kegging is to plan for the future. You will probably think to yourself that a couple kegs will be enough, but that will change. You don't need to buy a bunch of kegs first, but maybe get a co2 distributor bigger than you think you need.

I just recently took a day trip to Havasu with the wife. We stopped in at College Street Brewery and sampled a few of their brews. Very good and very refreshing, it was frickin' HOT. The Rueben on Rye was damn tasty, too!

Welcome to the forum! ... From a fellow Zonie. Havasu has a small but active homebrew club. I've met some of the folks and one that splits time between Havasu and Prescott. Everyone I've met has been super nice and knowledgable, so check out the club if you are interested.
