I've never kegged, but those who do suggest cornelius (corny) kegs. The kind the soda comes in. Disstributors cycle them out of inventory fairly often. Lots of good kegorator how- tos on the YouTube too. And those kind of kegs don't take up as much valuable real estate.

Do you know how to keg? I understand it's pretty involved. Never done it, tho.

I don't do the G bottles. Gasket issue for me, too. They're spendy, too.

On recycling, no twist tops. They will not seal. And Corona bottles don't seat exactly right. I've never had one fail, but I'm just not in love with the way the cap looks on them. I make tomato waterpipes out of them now.

If you use anything other than amber bottles, keep them out of the light.

My first kit was a Coopers Canadian something. 3 weeks later I was amazed as fuck that I'd made beer. And it was right tasty.

I'm looking forward to cooler weather so I can try the White House recipes. Those will be my first non- kit batch.

Main rule is clean, clean and clean again. If you're unsure, clean.
