So while sitting at the bar at home I came up with an idea to cover plan b.

Home bar..

I have an old fridge sitting under the cabin... That works so my wife got me some birthday presents and I grabbed a hole saw..

Grabbed a keg from Woods up in Greenview, drilled a hole and let the fridge cool down and keg settle...

Went boating for a while and came back to the cabin and enjoyed my birthday present from my wife.. Now I look forward to sitting on the deck by the lake even more

I am going to build a table with a drip tray in it to sit in front of the fridge and may bring it home over the winter and paint it up..


So who else enjoys a nice cold draft brew at home? Show off those bars...

Considering this myself. How long will beer stay fresh in a keg?

according to micromatic beer fourms the keg should be good for 3 months with co2 on it. but i have not had a keg last more than 3 or so weeks... check the fourms out at www.micromatic.com lots of info there. that is where all of the parts came from

I am still fighting foam alittle bit but wonder if the regulator may not be bad. I had a bottle/regulator/tap given to me and I replaced the tap but not the reg. so I may upgrade the regulator at some point and see if that helps..

Not sure if we will be down that weekend or not. We will have some family staying that weekend, if the only cover that is on the Checkmate is the cock-pit cover then we are there..-

283....we can't seem to make it down until later friday night or early sat. One of these days I hope to spend more than 3 days there!

We have an old ice box that may just make the transition to a Kegerator....Ahhh, another winter project.
