Just wanted to let everyone know I just kegged up my first 5 gal of homebrew. What a fantastic feeling Here is to no more bottling!

Congrts! How many you got?
Going with the picnic faucets for now?

You will never look back. It only took 4 batches back in college, for me to make the move to kegging. Only bottle for comps now, and the beer club.

Kegorator has 2 taps and I have 4 kegs. Wish I could have gone with a chest freezer setup but this will work just fine for right now.

Congrats.

I just realized Im a packaging freak, but ill save that for another time.

Dont forget to cut an inch off your dip tube. You will leave about 16oz in the bottom of each keg, but pour that in a glass and on the 1st keg and you wont want to drink it. Especially if its been in the fridge a week or more.

Always at least rinse out your kegs when they are empty.

Awsome move! Transfering, packaging and serving on C02 make all the difference. When AJ said O2 is a "bad boy" he was'nt kidding. I can't believe how much my beer has improved doing this.

Congrats!

I moved to kegging quicker than I expected that I would because I got sick of bottling quicker than expected. It was definitely a good move, for more reasons than I realized.

Right on! Bottling sucks!
