I'll get things started in this forum...for those of you with kegerators, what's on tap right now? I have a 1/2 barrel of Dark Horse Crooked Tree IPA.
Mine is a homebrew kegerator I built out of a chest freezer. I have 3 kegs on right now: Honey Golden Ale, Hoppy Amber Ale, and Jalapeno Oak Stout.
Finishing up a 1/6th of North Coast Old Rasputin, and should be getting Nugget Nectar this week. Also have a 1/6th of Evolution Morning Wood (BA Coffee Stout) I'm holding onto for St. Pats day, but it's on the second handle, kinda quietly..
I just added a second tap this past weekend. I currently have a 1/6th of Firehouse Hops on Rye and a 1/6 of Moonlight Death & Taxes.
Just picked up a 1/2 Barrel of Iron Horse, Quilters Irish Death. I suspect it wont last long once word gets out to friends.
I'm preparing to upgrade to a 5-tap system, which for now will consist solely of homberew. I have an Amarillo Wheat and Cascade Kolsch carbed and off to the side. A DIPA with Citra, Centennial, and Sorachi Ace is carbing alongside a hoppy brown (Chinook and Centennial). Next week I'll carb up my Dubbel. With that, all 5 should be ready for our March 3 moving date.
I tapped it a bit over a month ago just switched the lines on it last Saturday and it is still drinking wonderfully

Just finished up a 1/6 of Troegs Javahead stout, and picked up a 1/6 of Dominion Oak Barrel stout to tap tonight. Trying to get my stout fix in before moving to the hoppy stuff in the warmer months.
I bought an old, beatup chest freezer cheap: Then got to work fixing it up: It's the fastest kegerator ever built. And for inside the house: Pic was taken at an old apt.
I have Christened my new dual tap kegerator with the following: 1/6 Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye. 1/6 Wolaver's Oatmeal Stout I have to tweak my kegerator before I replace those. I need longer lines, right now I am drinking 1/2 to 3/4 foam pints.
What do you think about the Ruthless Rye on tap? I think it's a bit "tamer" than the bottles, but I'll have to check the keg date to see if I've just got a slightly older keg than the bottles I was just drinking. It's still a great beer, even if I'm paying a premium to have it on draft (can get equiv. ounces in bottles cheaper than the 1/6bbl).
In the process of converting a chest freezer or a fridge. I have most of the pieces except for the fridge/freezer. I have a test keg set up in the garage filled with Vanilla Cream Soda (yummy). Just trying to decide which way I want to go, leaning towards a fridge at the moment.
You may be right on the "tamer" aspect, yet I find that with most keg/bottle comparisons I do. Still a solid beer in my opinion. I paid $65 for the keg, about the same as bottles in my area for the same quantity.
Good God.. You have a half barrel of Double Crooked Tree??? WTF! That puts my log of Sculpin to shame! Damn It!!!
I have SD trading buddy who got a keg of Sculpin when they released a bunch for Super Bowl weekend...is that when you got yours?
I cut off my commercial couplers a while back and only pour homebrew now. Currently on: Berliner Weisse Black Saison Pumpkin Ale Fox grape wild ale On deck: Smoked saison More Berliner weisse I was debating buying a sixtel of Nugget Nectar but after having a bottle of it, I think I'm going to pass this year.
Tap 1: House Pale Ale Tap 2: SN Tumbler clone Nitro line: Stone 15th Anniv Clone On deck: Schwarzbier, Chocolate Peanut Butter Stout, Imperial Brown, Black Saison? (second runnings of Stone 15th with saison yeast pitched), 2nd runnings of a RIS, "funky" ipa (used acidulated malt and pitched Brett on it, aged on oak).
