Have been brewing for a few years now, really enjoy making and love drinking the stuff. But am sick to death of washing, sanitising, capping bottles ect.
Thinking of kegging but have heard that the beer has a limited life span in the keg.
This may be a ploblem as i like to leave my beers a while to mature.
Also how hard is it set up a keg system?

Beer doesn't die in the keg. If anything, it's the best place for it as it is an almost total CO2 environment.
And it's the best investment I ever made! I'm NEVER bottling again!
It isn't too difficult to set up, just the cost. If you want great keg info, get hold of Ross on this forum, or at craftbrewer.com.au
Good advice, and he'll beat any price I found elsewhere. Well worth doing business with. And I don't work for him either.

I'm glad someone else is enjoying the cricket too.

Planning on getting back there some time myself. I'm lucky, I got to meet GT before he left- great character.
Makes me wonder if people on this forum ever meet up. Might start a post in general.

p.s. i was at the Grumpys Stammtisch last Friday, i think we had nearly a dozen brewers sitting around swapping our beers. Got lots of good feedback on ways to improve a few of my beers. The last bottle of my award wiining Boonies LCPA got shared around - lots of impressed faces! In fact, they thought it was better than my AG version which was a tad undercarbed. I only bottled a few...
