well here it is gents, a year and 5 months into the hobby and thar she blows (well she's not blown yet )In the mug is a tasty sample of my dry stout (current incarnation: 6lb 2-Row or Marris Otter, 1.1 lb Roast Barley and 2.2 lb Flaked about 40 IBUS of EKG)

Congrats, next you will want to get that tank out and move another keg in. Stout looks great.

It's a wonderful thing. I remember my first kegged beer - an ESB, it was so damn tasty...

[Winkydowbrewing]

ah yes...bringing back memories...but why do you have 2 bottles of window wash in the fridge on the door?

[ncbeerbrewer]

Congrats ET. That beer looks great, nice work and enjoy the awesome benefits of kegging vs Bottles. Looks like a nicely stocked fridge. I agree though if you can run the gas line under the seal of the door you can get that tank out of there and have 2 kegs. Good Luck and enjoy man!! Thats a great Dry stout I plan to brew again this winter.

ET: Congrats. Everyone who gets into kegging wonders why they didn't start it earlier. Every time I go downstairs to tap a beer I remind myself how lucky I am to be a homebrewer who kegs & dispenses draft beer. I'll assume those bottles in the door are actually ET's delicious Czech Lager made with pilsner malt, some Munich and Saaz hops along with the Wyeast 2001 Pilsner Urquell lager yeast. Cheers!

ha ha thanks! as to the window washer - close ken. Those are actually a gluten free lager with spicy saaz hops that I made for my gluten allergenic girlfriend. Turned out quite nice actually. I am loving this for sure. I checked and the tank can sit on the back ledge and two kegs fit in perfectly, I just don't have another keg worth of beer to put in yet haha - brewing on sunday to remedy.you guys helped me get here for sure, I'll keep the updates rollin' in!

That's awesome... get another beer ready and get 2 kegs in there. That's what I do too... 2 kegs and 2 five-pound tanks sitting up on the compressor shelf. Enjoy, Amigo!
