Red Oak Amber Lager from Red Oak in Whitsett NC. They say they are America's largest lager only brewery. So I guess no ales, stouts, wits or porters.

Visit from a friend last night. We are both in NC for the weekend. He down from Ohio and me up from GA. He brought over 2 shifters and two bottles of Thomas Hardy Ale. THA is an aged barleywine. Amazing stuff. We drank a 2004 vintage and I am to take home a 2008. Poor me.

It's pretty great! I like cutting 2 weeks off my production timeline. I got some 32 oz growlers to take homebrew to go, so I still get to share my brews. To be fair tho I havent had to clean a keg yet...that may sour my opinion slightly

Just be careful taking the lid off when you do. The edges around the keg are pretty damn sharp and if you aren't careful you might end up with a rather impressive gash. I lightly tap the lid down with a hammer anymore.

Washing a keg is still easier than cleaning 48 bottles. Congrats and welcome to the world of kegging. For me, it's on to using a spunding fermentation in a keg.

Easy Peezy. You do need some kind of a brush for my 5 gallon kegs I use a long bottle brush. After you rinse it, a little dish soap and the brush scrub it from bottom to top then rinse real well (I do mine in the sink), wash the lid, take out and hand wash both posts and put it all back together. Put in about a half gallon of starsan, shake it up, pressurize it and leave it till you need it.

I am correct that you are not using nitro?

Good to know! I sanitized the kegs without injury but I will try to avoid the edges
