And that includes the 4-keg 20-gallon kegerator in the garage.

Who needs to spend $4,500 for one when I can just take your homebrew

Thank you Matt!

Cold *** beer is good and all but not the biggest fan of drinking beer in heavy amounts...makes me feel "Full"?? Not since i started BJJ do i avoid drinking in heavy amounts... feel fat lol sound gay but yeah hate feeling "bloated" ...So 4500 would suit me better in my STi's motor lol.... When i feel like getting Fkd up i just smoke a fat bowl and order two "Adios ****** ***kers"...

Brewing/Fermenting
8 gallon kettle: $95
Home-brew specific burner: $125 (turkey fryer can be used too, $40)
2-10 gallon Igloo coolers converted to mash and lauter tuns: $300
dorm fridge for temp-controlled fermenting: $free
Temp controller for fridge: $35
3 Fermenting vessels: $25 each?
Wort chiller: $50
Various odds n' ends: $40

Chest freezer turned kegerator ran me about $400 with top of the line taps.

Whole setup looks to have cost me about $1100. My pale ale recipe costs me about $25-$30 (depending on if I need more yeast) for 5 gallons.

Fermenting under pressure let's you ferment hotter (therefore faster) without the off flavors you'd get if you fermented hot without pressure. However, they're definitely talking about something like a blonde ale.

Either that or your overpaying for a really shiny machine to make really crappy beer.
