lol not sure the betadine is such a good option lol yuck...

Steve has a nice set up with a deep freeze that has a regulator to keep it at 38 degrees I want to say he has like 5 soda kegs in there along with the c02.

We havent done anything fancy yet until we decide how to build the bar out on the other side but he got some great tap handles for his bday and Dova etched our glasses

AMJ I agree with the bucket thing we use the clear plastic bottles. the only advantage to the bucket is the spout.

Unless you have rubber flooring in the brew room like we do the glass carboys can be catastrophic even with the snazzy handles and bags.
