[GLLUG] Beer for Penguicon, GLLUG

[Lachniet, Mark]

I have cornelius kegs (old soda ones) with both types of connnectors.  At least two of them are perfectly good, as I had them full this winter when my garage was cold enough to be a fridge.  I'd gladly loan them to GLLUG (maybe even brew for Penguicon if I get off my butt) if I can have them back after the event is over.  IF there happens to be left over beer in them when they are returned, all the better.

I'll also gladly loan out my CO2.  I have a small one and a big one.

We went through a lot of beer this year.  People liked it.  We also ran out of beer on Friday, which left us none to offer on Saturday.

Do we want to bring more beer next year?  If we do, we're going to need to brew more beer, and we're going to need vessles to store it in.  I have the kegs we used this year.  I don't really want to buy more, because I won't use them.  As uit is I'll probably always have two empty kegs sitting around most of the year.

The kegs are basically useful for people who want to have a couple of parties throughout the year.  You buy a keg, bring it over on brew day, and leave it with me.  When your beer is done with fermentation, I put it in the keg and carbonate your beer for you.  You pick it up after it's been in the keg a week, take it to your party.  Things Beer will sell you the serving taps, as well as a nifty little gadget that lets you keep it pressurized off of a CO2 ampule.

Anybody wants to do this, let me know.  It's a bit of an equipment investment, probably $40 after you buy the keg, tap and the CO2 ampule gadget, but you'll be getting a party or two's worth of beer for maybe $20 in materials and some labor on brew day.

You can put wine in a keg and carbonate it for a sparkling wine.  My dad warns me though that keeping that around the house could be the end of your liver.  He did that once, decided it wasn't a good thing to keep on hand.  Good to have for a party though.
