Last Saturday while walking the dogs around the neighborhoodwe wondered by a garage sale about 2 blocks from home. Curiousity got the better of us, Lee found a trunk she liked which had leaning against it a c02 tank. Why do I need a c02 tank? I need it to attach to the Cornelias Keg that Chris found, thus making it possible for us to keg our home brew. The c02 tanks to buy new with a regulator go for $100 - $200 so I was curious about the price. A deal was struck, I could have the tank for $20.... bargain.
This Friday Chris and I will be transferring our partial grain amber ale into the keg, apply some c02 and let it condition. This means we will not require any priming sugar. We will wait the usual 2 weeks before sampling the brew and if required let it sit a bit longer. A Scottish Ale will be brewed tomorrow along with an Aussie style Draft requested by one McLean.
The weather has been pretty amazing since the start of July, and doesn't look like changing anytime soon. We have spent a lot of time outside soaking it all up, bringing our reno work to a halt. Once the good weather is gone we will have plenty of stuff to do inside the house.
