What is everyone doing with brewing lately?
I'm building a jockey box beer dispenser. I am not sure if there's a better name for it, but it is just a small cooler with a large stainless steel coil and a tap. I can fill it with ice and have cold beer. Should make for a nice evening on the lake in a secluded cove.

Verry cool! And yes, that's what its called. So what type of beer do you brew?

What is the advantage of the jockey box over taking a small keg in a cooler? I have a single tap kegerator for corny kegs and use picnic taps and charge them with CO2 as needed. We have a gathering coming up in October and I was thinking I might have some Octoberfest Marzen ready to share.
Just kegged a Summer Ale, Gaarden Hoe, last night. It was my first pressure fermentation. I let it reach two points below final gravity, then sealed the fermenter. Two weeks total and it's carbonated and just about ready to drink.
It's been a fresher version of Sam Adams Summer Ale. I was concerned about too much coriander at 1 ounce, but it was just about right. We're pleased with the result. We still haven't had time to brew our Oktoberfest marzen, next week I hope. Jim
