Having now made a couple of beers, I have invested in a Korny keg (19l) setup and through some careful negotiation I have convinced the wife of the need for a new fridge so that I can use the old one to make a kegerator (which will be this weekend's project).
When I got the CO2 system, I got one with a dual regulator so that I can expand to a second keg. This will easily fit in the fridge alongside my current keg.
Now I have a couple of beers under my belt, I plan to experiment a little, so my plan is to make smaller batches of beer. Would there be any problem with using another 19l keg for smaller batches of beer. I appreciate that I will have to use a bit more CO2 for carbonation and dispense pressure, but would there be any other downsides?
I have noticed from looking online that the smaller kegs seem to be the same price as the large ones, and there also seems to be a lack of reasonably priced reconditioned kegs. So my plan is to buy a second large keg and use it for the smaller batches, with the flexibility to make larger batches when I want. Does this sound reasonable?
