\"My<\/a><\/p>\n

This just arrived. When I’m back from Belgium, my Kegging kit and Kegerator conversation kit will arrive as well. I decided to jump right into kegging. It will be a cost savings over time and, if I am completely terrible at brewing beer, I can always use the kegerator for the purchase of commercial beers from local breweries. I may still bottle a few beers as my kit came with caps and a capping mechanism and there’s no shortage of bottles around the house. I save all of them for recycling. Kegging will be an awesome way for friends to enjoy my beers and I have a few 750ML flip-top growlers that friends can fill if they want to take some beers home.<\/p>\n

Brew day is this Saturday. I’m still contemplating which recipes to do for the first two beers. I do know the 1st will be all malt extract and the second will be a partial mash. Stoked to embark on the next evolution in loving beer. I’ll try to get some photos of the brew process. I expect to do a very poor job on my first go but that’s what makes this so much fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This just arrived.
