Serving Guinness on tap at home!

[Dor]

Great news! I just converted my kegerator over to pour guinness for the winter. I wonder how long a 15 gallon keg is supposed to last one man?

yam yam

too bad I've renounced drinking Guinness due to its un-veginess...

if you ever get Wrasslers XXXX on tap let me know, 'cos I'll be coning over to pull a few pints :-)

Sláinte !

I believe a keg has 96 pints in it, so we should be able to figure this out. If you drink 10 pints a day, it'll last just over two weeks, no?

I've always wondered how long a keg is good for if it is kept cool and I hear varied answers every time I ask someone. I've got two mini fridges at my parents house sitting unused and I always wonder if I made a kegerator if I could drink the goods fast enough.

I could always get one of the smaller import kegs too. Hmm...

[TREMORS]

Forget SSL's, Neve's, etc

This is what I envy
Is there a Beerslutz.com?

My buddy and I lived together forawhile with a kegorator, and it was incredible.
It was so incredible I dont remember most of it
Never could get a nitrogen tank to pour Guinness, though.
Always CO2 and a pony keg of another good beer, or sadly..bud light often.dfegad

Non US kegs are supposed to be 13.5 gallons.

All Guinness brands are free from animal matter and from contact with animal matter. However, isinglass, which is a by-product of the fishing industry, is used as a fining agent for settling out suspended matter in the vat. The isinglass is retained in the floor of the vat but it is possible that minute quantities might be carried over into the beer.

To the best of my knowledge most Guiness for export outside Ireland is pasteurised and re-gassed and not technically "Real Ale", therefore there would be no residue of finnings in the beer.

Yeah, i got lucky and found my local brew shop in Berkeley was able to provide the nitro blend tank for guinness. 7 days & my first keg of guinness is about to kick. Can't say I didn't have help from some pals polishing it off. Guess i'll have to pour some Boddingtons once the weather gets warmer.

[indie]

Oh man, this keg thread really has me thinking I NEED one in the studio!!!
I'd just have to pace myself

[big country]

I used to have a kegerator back in the day

I used to think having a kegerator and disco ball was a sign that I made it.

I used to make my own beer so I used cornelias kegs so I could have three

kegs on tap at any time . I had a lot of friends

did you have to get a new tap ?

you also would have to get a tank for the nitro.

beer has a shelf life of three months .

that also depends on how much sugar is in the beer, beer with alot of sugar

can last a long time.

when you brew your own that changes a little , plus you dont get hang overs

off home brew , its not pasturized like the stuff you buy in the stores, so it has

all the healthy contributions beer has to offer like vitamin b3 . if you ever get a

hang over the best thing to take is b3. plus the dead yeast is supposed to be

good for you to. its like buying OJ or any fruit drink or vegitable drink in the store

they take out all the good stuff with cooking it ( pasturized).

[big country]

beer is nothing more than yeast c rap

yeast eats the sugar from the grains

poops alcohol

farts co2


good shiit

Yeah, i got the slow pour euro spout, guinness coupler/tap & traded in my CO2 tank for a nitrogen/C02 tank. I ordered the conversion kit online so it didn't take much thought.

Pasteurization wouldn't change the fact that there could be minute amounts of Isinglass. I really couldn't care (I'm from Iowa, there's meat in the air!), but I would imagine that most vegetarians would!

Me? I use Irish Moss. But I'm trying to avoid chill-haze. A little left over yeast never hurts anything. . .

Lucky bastard. . . Guinness on tap!

I Salute You!
