The cosmetic modifications were pretty major also. I finally cut a hole for the thermocouple to pass through, it can be seen next to the barbed fitting on the inside of the chest. I finally got tired of looking at it just dangling over the edge. The other modification I made was to clean up the unruly routing of the gas and product lines. The easiest way i could think to do this was orient the kegs so gas lines were on the outside and product lines in the center. This turned out to work great and the results can be seen below.

So you bought something for twice the amount that holds half as much..... I'm confused.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.thebrewingnetwork.com/Beer-Gadgets/The-Portable-Kegerator This is one reason that you would want a 2.5 Gallon keg. Another reason is if you want to give some away you can bottle half a batch and keg the other half. Or you can make a small batch of experimental beer that you wouldn't want to waste an entire 5 gallons on. One other thing you could do is make soda. The possibilities are endless.
ReplyDeletecouldn't you just fill up a normal keg half way?
ReplyDeleteYou could but the problem is that you need to purge the air out of top so it does not oxygenate the beer and that becomes difficult since there's not a way you can make sure all the oxygen gets out.
