Mmmm we're going to have to try some more Troegs to replace the elves when they're kicked. I'm more of an amber person, how do the two you have on tap compare?
SPATEN LAGER. Munich.
Normally fairly light amber in color, but this new one is rather dark light stout color.
But it's just good ol Spaten. The flavor never changes. I'm thinking its the hops that change the color slightly this keg.

We tapped our second elf 2/22 and untapped it to tap a 1/4 Lord Chesterfield. Since the Yeungling comes in tall 1/4s, they're both residing in the kegerator and waiting for me to do the dual tap mod.
The remnants of an American wheat I didn't kill before heading off to Florida today. When I get home in three weeks, I'll have a keg of APA ready to go.
Malt is the soul of beer... and yeast gives it life..
but the kiss of the hop is the vitality of that life!
My three favorite beers: The one I just had, the one I'm drinking now and the next one I'll have.
Just hooked up my kegerator. Since St Paddy's day is just around the corner I went with Killians. 2nd pour out of unit was perfect!!!!6 barrell cost $39.00 in Western Maryland!!!

Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery
and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might
be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself,
"It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than
be selfish and worry about my liver." ____________________________________________
First keg tapped in the new system (pix and post mortum to follow) is a 1/6 of Magic Hat HiPA. It's cold, it's carbonated and it's NOT foamy. It's also thanks to this forum and all the knowledge here in. Let the system "stabilize" over night and the very first beer, which was sitting in 20ft of line, poured near perfection.
I converted a Haier mini-fridge and immediately went out and bought a 1/6 of my new favorite local brew: Horseheads Brewing's Chemung Canal Towpath Ale. So smooth...there's nothing like it!
I have a quarter of Michelob Ultra, I guess domestic light beer is like eating at McDonalds, nobody drinks it but they sure sell a lot.
Hey, if you enjoy it, then drink up! I used to bag on light beer drinkers, but thankfully I've come down from the beer snob cloud. I was on the craft beer snob band wagon there for a bit. But now I just feel that people should drink what they enjoy. I still drink (mostly) craft brew, but I can't think of a sane reason to insult someone for their beverage choice, regardless of what it is. The brand of beverage in a friend's hand is not nearly as important to me as enjoying a cool one with a friend.

I got a 13.2 gallon keg of Guinness i just taped this weekend. it took a while to get all the stuff for the nitro system but it is worth it!!!!! I also got 10 gallons of Coconut Porter Homebrew and 5 gallons of Hard Apple Cider Homebrew!
I just tapped a 1/6 of Sam Adams White Ale. I also just purchased a "G" type coupler, so I think that I see some Bass Ale in the not-to-distant future!
Any of you guys live near North Florida. Having trouble finding sixtels and slim 1/4's around here. Anyone have any information for North Florida availability? Thanks for any help!
Right now, just regular old Bud, I just finally hooked up the kegerator again, so I need to make sure I had everything working good. Today I'm stoping by the Global Beverage Warehouse, and seeing if they can get me a list of every possible keg/beer that is available, then, the taste testing begins!!!!
