And I have to say I loved it. The beer was cold, clear, well carbed and very convenient. Want half a glass? There you go! While I was a bit nervous about the whole thing, it didn't leak or anything bad.
* "Finished": I want to bottle/keg a batch tomorrow. (The keg is 2.5) I knew the current keg full must be close to empty, so I bottled two pints in swing tops. The third only filled halfway, and had too much foam anyway. I had failed to chill that bottle or vent the pressure first. So, I just have to drink it!

I have a total of 14 five gallon kegs, with 7 of them pouring beer right now.

YEP I think he's hooked too, it's easy to do on most aspects of this obsession!
I'm working on catching to you Jeff, only have 6 five g. and 1 two and a halfer plus one 15.5 sanke. Have three pouring and four carbing. The sanke is waiting for the 15 G batch to finish fermenting, after we return from Nashville.

Ya, I like the flexibility of pouring what I want, although 99 times out of 100 it is probably to the rim.
Hoping to soon have 4 quarter barrels and 6 half barrels to play with. Even if I cut three of them up for keggles it still leaves me with 3 half barrels. That should keep me occupied (and looking for a bigger rig!).

I have 9 kegs but usually only have 3 tapped. I could use the keezer to keep a few more but prefer to keep that as a fermentation chamber.
I love what kegging allows me to do. I've saved 2 very plain beers just by keg hopping them. They weren't stellar but I wouldn't have kept them otherwise.
I also like the idea that I can pour as little or as much as I want without wasting any.

I'm a total keg man now too. Plus, I received a beer gun for Christmas & I must say it works great for growlers to go or bottling. I have 2 kegs pouring now. But man, 7 at once, that's fantastic. Something to shoot for. Cheers Beer Brothers
I'm able to fit three kegs in my keezer (but just two taps), and at first I wasn't sure if I'd ever be able to keep them all full and rotate through. But since I've got a lager in one of them that I don't intend to tap until April, now I'm wondering if I'll need to bottle one or two five-gallon batches.
Problems like this are the type of problems you want to have, though.

Yeah, too much beer doesn't suck.
I'm still using my mini fridge for both the mini keg and bottles. It fits a case of bottles plus a 2.5gal keg. It will, I think, fit two 2.5s and three sixes. Right now I'm just using the picnic tap.

Whatever works. I knew I wanted a permanent larger-scale dispensing system, so I went ahead and got a freezer, got my brother and his friend to do the conversion, and put a 3-keg/2-tap keezer together. If I figure I'd be upgrading anyway, I'm willing to go whole hog right out of the gate rather than take baby steps until I get there.

You may be right. I've made that mistake with pots and fermenters. But there are other issues here, lack of space and limited electric. Jane suggested a kegorator in the basement, but I don't really want to go downstairs every time I want a beer.
