The next step was to start buying small kegs of beer and build a kegerator to complete my man-cave. After about a week of research, I planned out my 5 tap keezer:

Planning
After going over my finances for the past year, I realized that a very large portion of my disposable income was going towards nightlife related expenditures. A few months ago, I decided to invest some of that money into a pool table and entertainment center to motivate me to stay in rather than go out. I'm now spending significantly less on entertainment, and with the money I save by not paying cover/parking/ridiculous drink prices, I have been able to step up the quality of spirits, wines and brews.

Day Zero
Ok, so in a stroke of compulsiveness, I decided to start brewing and kegging my own beer. For two weeks I lurked the homebrew forums, watched every howto on youtube, and read every post in the homebrewing sub-reddit....I know as much about brewing as anyone can without actually doing it, so I have decided to take the plunge, buy the equipment, and, in true 21st century fashion, blog about my experience.
