I’m getting interested in kegging. I’ve been brewing and bottling my own for about 6 years now but the bottling is really a hassle.
If anybody has any advice or tips on this I would sure be appreciative.
Brew On!

Conditioning an Octoberfest brew ready late August. Currently enjoying a great IPA, a fine copper ale, and a Dynamic Pilsner!

I have not brewed seriously for a bit-moving from a house to an apt kinda cramps things
I still do small batches of hard cider to use in cooking (Beef Rib Marinade)
I always favored making stouts, Scotch ales and Bocks. And Hefe Weizen-the flavors really come out in home brew

Like last week I am having a Nut Brown Ale. Last one. I have a six pack left that I am going to set aside for a few more weeks.

I have a bohemian-style lager in a secondary right now and am thinking about the next batch in a couple of weeks. Any suggestions? I’d like it to be a nice summer beer - crisp and refreshing, fairly low alcohol (around 4 - 4.5%) and not too bitter, but I like a hoppy taste. I did a pretty successful Witbier a few months ago, with orange and coriander flavoring. Post your recipes, if you have ‘em.

They don't have biere d'alsace Fischer listed. Great 'beer', great old-fashioned stopper bottles. I still have a bunch of the bottles that I use.
I've been told by a distributor that I can't get it in the States, anymore.

How is that Copper Ale you have? Was it an extract kit?

Sorry, should’ve said I am a grain brewer - that recipe looked interesting, so any grain bill that corresponds to the extract recipe?

Midwest seems to have some good prices for kegging systems.
http://www.midwestsupplies.com/kegging/kegging-systems.html
You need to take the empty gas bottle to a welding supply place and fill it as it ships empty. BUT you can cut out the 2 weeks in the bottle time and get rid of bottles.
There are FAQa there on kegging and on More Beer
http://morebeer.com/
Of interest to some is that More beer not only has several under 50 cents per beer kits but also has free shipping if over a certain amount,

Liberty Cream Ale is a regular for us. We brew it almost every other batch as everybody likes it and its fast/inexpensive.
