I've been looking at an iKegger system (https://www.ikegger.com/). Homebrew is great fun to brew (and what I've made has been pretty decent if I do say so myself, if it wasn't I'd just tip it out) but bottling at the end is painful...
Had the PL stout last night and was a fan, haven't had the mosaic yet.
Yeah, I was thinking one of the 23L (4L + 19L) systems to start with. Self-carbonating is a winner, and you can also easily transfer from the 19L to the 4L if wanting to take somewhere.What size do you want? I like the look of them. Bottling is a nightmare. My batches would always give me a full keg (18-19L) plus a handful of 450mL swingtop bottles. Have stacks of various bottles under the stairs that will never get opened.
I ended up adjusting my grain and water quantities to produce just a full keg but I like the idea of putting that excess into a 4L minikeg I can take to mates places, picnics, whatever.

You can get the premium kit (https://www.ikegger.com/products/the-complete-23l-home-brew-keg-package) which gives you all the stainless steel fittings and works off a sodastream bottle, so that's the one I'm eyeing off currently. Seems like a pretty neat solution and as per you post above, will clear the 8+ boxes of bottles out of the garage too

I've also heard IIPA referred to as an Imperial IPAIPA is Indian Pale Ale
IIPA is a doubleIPA
more hops and a bit higher in alcohol/malt to carry the bitterness from the extra hops.
It's mostly just marketing wank these days. Practically the same beer.
Any recommendations? I love a good stout in winterI quite liked it. It's certainly easy to drink for such a big stout.
So many good stouts to look forward to now we are in winter.

A local fan favourite is BrewBoys Ace of Spades.Any recommendations? I love a good stout in winter
Same same.That's what it is.
Yeh quite like Coopers stout, will have to give the others a go if I see them. Not much choice up my way though, only tend to get something half decent when I'm down near Perth.A local fan favourite is BrewBoys Ace of Spades.
The Pirate Life stout is good.
Coopers stout is gutsy AF and quiet yeasty for a stout. I love it.
Every other SA stout has been decent without being great. Each local brewery has theirone style they're know for which isn't stout.
I find that stout just isnt popular enough to ever be a marquee style with in the craft beer industry.
Bit exxy but there are a lot of good beers online. Postage would be a killer though.Yeh quite like Coopers stout, will have to give the others a go if I see them. Not much choice up my way though, only tend to get something half decent when I'm down near Perth.
Haha don't think we get uber out here, have done the online beer thing a couple of times but it's not the same as going into a decent bottle shopBit exxy but there are a lot of good beers online. Postage would be a killer though.
Maybe grab an uber and take your esky

Yeh I love the Nail Stout, will get some next time I'm down. The local bottlo where I am closes at 6 and has a choice of export, vb and occasionally some fifty lashes.Nail oatmeal stout and 4 Pines stout are both readily available in 6 packs at a heap of places, and both very good beers.
Can't go past Founders Russian Imperial Stout for mine. Not to knock Feral Boris though, it's fantastic and it's reasonably priced and readily available.
I love a lot of what Nail does, but their oatmeal stout doesn't really do it for me. I like my stouts heavy, thick and syrupy, which is why I go for the RISs. Whilst not a stout, the Hughe Dunn Brown is fantastic, and it would be a dream come true if the Clayden Brew imperial porter was around much more frequently.
