When kegging your beer is it possible to transfer from a soda keg to the regular style beer keg.  I only ask because my kegorator is set up a certain way and I don't want to change it.

I take it you've purchased 'Mr. Beer'.

After my Dad and I came back from San Antonio we went over to his house and went right to the closet where we stored the batch of beer we made.  The beer is finished and the head in the frosted mug was a sight for sore eyes

Wooooooooohoooooooooo!!!!

So after reading about all this beer< i got jealous and had to give it a go. I ordered the "True Brew K6 Gold Kit" and picked up the recipe and supplies to make an Amber Bock.

here it is step by step.....

These are my tools. I started by sterilizing everything with the provided cleaner c-brite (basically bleach).


I had to do it to the Carboy as well


Then I got out the goods:
Malts
1.4L Amber Malt extract
.7L Dark Malt
.7L Glucose
hops
16gr Northern Brewer Hops
21gr Tettnang
Grains
168gr Wheat Malt
84gr Crystal Malt
84gr Chocolate
Yeast
1 pack of lager yeast





So I put 1.5 gals of distilled water into my pot and set it for 150 deg. I then added the Grains and let it steep for 45 mins



I then pulled out the grains and turned up the heat to 185 deg



Once it was at 185 I poured in the liquid Malts YUMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!



I set it to boil for three minutes



I then added my Northern Brewer hops


I then let it boil for 50 minutes, normally it's only 30mins but I am making a beer that only uses 2 hops packets.


after the 50 minutes I added my second hops bag the Tettnang and let it boil of 10 minutes



I then pulled it off the heat and set the pot to cool in the sink.


Once it was cooled to 95 degs I siphoned the wort into my carboy filled it to the 5 Gal mark. I then added the yeast. And sealed it up with the airlock.

I forgot my SG is 1.028 or 0.7 on the balling scale.......

cool!

I havn't baught anything yet and no i'm not going with mr beer.  I found a package online for about $120.  A buddy of mine showed me how to pop the ball lock off a regular keg and from there he just siphons it in.
