Now that many of our home renovations are done - we've had some time to begin brewing our own beer. We live in the great state of Utah, and it is great, don't get me wrong - but the liquor laws are just so backwards that we decided to take things into our own hands. So, we chose to keg our beer so we would not have to collect, wash, sterilize, and fill a gazillion bottles of beer. Our first brew (Goblin's Brew) was an amber that was actually pretty good after we waited patiently for it to mellow our. For the second batch we went with a kit from the Rogue Brewery, Dead Guy Ale. It is delicious but the verdict is still out as to how it compares to the real thing. We have to pick up a bottle for comparison.
This bucket sure was tough to open!
I had the complicated job of holding the end of the tube against the keg.
