That puts me on a good schedule to keep the kegs in the keezer filled. I have been brewing every two weeks or so lately. That puts me on a good schedule to keep the kegs in the keezer filled.

I did try putting together an Oberon Clone, but after all the ingredients were in the cart I was pushing $70. Sure, I'd have some left over, but I really wish they had a $50 kit or something.

How often do you like to brew?

Plus there are sometimes extra ingredients leftover (based on the unit sizes) to use for the next batch.

Works pretty good. I'll be putting together a post about it real soon.

The fridge would totally be the way to go if you can do it. Could do some lagering as well.

Thanks for the comment!

My next purchase will definitely be the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale clone kit from Austin Homebrew Supply.<br><br>How did you make your swamp cooler? Anything special, or is it like mine with just a big tub filled with water and some ice packs. I actually have an old refrigerator that I was going to convert into a fermenting chamber but I just haven't gotten around to it. It's been a while since I've brewed myself.
