My new baby

Have a question on how to keg your beer or just want some tips on bottling! Don't stick a cork in it until you ask the Borg!

LOL, that's funny.

Fortunately, my wife "gets it". She actually asks questions and tries to understand things - partially because I love this, and partially so she can come up with gift ideas when she needs to.

Just found this video on my phone from a couple of weeks ago and I don't see it posted here, so I clearly forgot.

Here's a quick look at the pour:

Yes, from the seemingly never-ending keg.

The funny thing is that I needed to kill a keg the other day and I thought this would be gone in the next pour or two so I took the other one and prepared to bottle from it since I figured I could kill them both this way (knowing that I would the Levitaton again last night). I sanitized the bottles, set up, etc. and then got one bottle from the other keg!

So last night I thought I would pull a single pint from the Levitation and kill it, too - but it keeps pouring.....maybe tonight will be the night.
