I had to lay out a bit of cash to get these kegs up and going with tubing, disconnects, O-rings etc and it felt like they were going to nickel and dime me to death--was starting to regret it.
A few months later and I'm very happy kegging. I'm serving from 6 kegs with picnic taps. I brew 7 gallon batches so I bottle the 1 to
1.5 gallons post fermentation that won't fit in the keg to share. I just add 2 grams of sucrose per 12oz bottle for conditioning at ~ 2.2 vols/CO2. 3.5G for 22oz bombers.
My kegged beer tastes fresher and brighter than the bottle conditioned stuff. I brew mostly lagers and it really shows in side to side tasting.
