[Farzam]

My friend had a 3 keggerator

They said it was the best thing they've ever bought.

How much these go for these days? I had an opportunity to buy one for $50 the other week but wasn't sure.

Also, there was a mini taps set up. Took 3 5L poneys. I just dunno anything that comes in 5L. WTH comes in 5L?

5 liters? isn't that those little fridge kegs they sell in the supermarket? those are an astronomical ripoff...

ran the idea past my dad tonight while we were at a chuck berry show, he seems to think my uncle has a refrigerator he doesn't want anymore, so if i can score that, i'm about $150 in parts + beer away from kegeratin'.

Yeah I did the math, 5L = 169oz ~ 14*12oz
A 12 pack is a lot cheaper then the 5L.

Seems like what I was looking at was for micro brews. A lot of micro brewery's can't afford to maintain full size kegs OR they don't bottle. 5L is for bars that have many micro's on tap that don't see enough sales in 30days to warrant a full keg. The micro taps I saw was for the home snob that can't get the beer in bottles.

Local home brew shop could sell me empty 5L and CO2 charging system for my own brews but really didn't know of 5L distribution in the area and gave me the number of the distributors in the area.

Man, I was hoping for a nice in between. Bottles take up a lot of fridge space but a keg is to much for causal use on the weekends.

mmmmmm im thirsty.

anyway, i had a friend with a kegerator, he would charge $5 for a bottomless cup. anyday of the week. havin a party this weekend. $5. wanna come over and watch the game? $5. i think of it as an investment. just start an honor system so you dont have to police your shit or carry around a bag of cups constantly. that probbly wouldnt work tho. maybe on slow days

that's a good idea. my friends are leeches. i'll give them the option of keeping beer in the fridge or giving me five bucks for unlimited keg.

we had a kegerator in college... sat right in our kitchen like a water machine... we threw parties and it was always BYOB or 5 dollars to drink from the keg... can't tell you how many we floated in my time at WVU.

PS... if you get a kegerator, you also need to get a liquor bottle rack with shot pourer... it's another must have for drunks.

these guys i kinda know made a kegorator. just used an old fridge, nitrogen tanks i think...maybe just compressed air and ran the lines to a tap in the fridge door.
