Yep, there is no comparison between the keg and bottles. Just wait until it has been in the keg for 1 - 2 weeks.

Friend's wife, to friend: "You mean if I let you buy a keg system you won't need all those bottles?"
"Yep."
"It'll take up a lot less space in the garage then?"
"Yep. A lot less."
"What will you do with all the spare space?"
"Haven't planned anything for it yet."
"Can I use it - the spare space I mean?"
"Ahh..... O.K."
"Alright. You can buy the keg stuff.... but don't put it in my space."

This is my first night of getting home to the new keg system. Wow what a difference! I am using a Carlton Draught style mix that I have always bottled. The taste after three days in the keg makes the expence worth every cent.

Disclaimer: I am on my second glass the beer has not gone to my head, it really tastes that much better.

Happy brewing folks.

Moby,

You can guarantee that the beer is just about perfect when you have about 2 glasses left in the bottom of the keg! Breaks a man's heart.....

Very good point that. I have 1 50L and 1 18L keg. Once the 50 is out it gives me time to get the next brew going. Also lets the second keg mature nicely.

I to make my own Beer. I prefer dark beers or lagers.
I gave up washing bottles years ago and went to a keg system, best thing i did.
Here is a pic of my temprite system that i take up the beach when im camping. Nothing better than beer on tap up the beach.
