Update on my search for a new beerman. The only place I can find within a 50 mile radius that can get my beloved Amber Bock in kegs only gets a visit from the disributor once a week! Soooooo, I am going to have to keep a very close eye on my kegs to make sure I order the week before I expect to blow empty, plus they only do Amber Bock in sixtels here instead of the half barrels I was getting before so I will be swapping out kegs three times faster. I guess in the long run that will be better since the beer should be fresher on a regular basis, I will admit that I have had a 1/2 barrel or two go past the magic 45 day service life in the past, but I didn't notice any off taste, maybe because I keep my system at 35 degrees instead of 38 I might get a few extra day, not sure, I just know I like my beer as cold as I can get it without having ice issues and 35 seems to be perfect. [?][?][?]Scott, does that beer strip thing work on sixtels?[?][?][?]
