I am proud to admit that I am a cheap bastard. When you're married with 2 kids and the only beer drinker in the house, the cheaper the equipment the better as justification for new equipment is hard to come by.
Since I've only one fridge, lagering has been out of the question, especially since I live in Florida and room temperature can be in the mid 70's. Well, I whined enough at work that some lady just gave me a fridge.
Now all I need are some kegs, a CO2 bottle, taps, hoses, and regulators. Any takers?
A tip - when whining, aim for that Fran Drescher sound. It seems to speed things up.
