Welcome - I lived in trumbull for a few years, just moved back to MA a month ago.

I used to live in MA (born & bred) until we moved to CT 4 years ago.

AWESOME! I'd love to see your pictures as you go.

Are you using the gas beam design, or plumbing pipe along the back of the frame?

Where did you get your "keggles" if that's what you have?

My first keggle was from sabco w/ false bottom, then I picked up a couple of kegs locally and converted them. Gas beam, and not really any picks. Hopefully my brother in law the plumber shows up today to run the gas line. I still have the control box and wiring to tackle. I will try to get some pics soon.

Did you build the entire frame with square stock, or did you build partially with angle stock?

I was think if I pass on the gas beam, and use square stock for all verticals, and heavier gauge angle stock on the horizontals, I could save enough cash on the frame to have someone cut and weld it up for me . . . as metal work is not my thing. I could probably handle the plumbing, and the electrics.

Where did you "find" the two additional keggles locally?

Good luck with it! Looking forward to seeing what you've done.
