Building a Home Draft System
great course. building a keezer seemed overwhelming until i took this course. the descriptions of the components were enhanced by watching the demonstrations of each step. i am excited to build my own draft system now and actually start kegging my beer.

Building a HDS
I didn´t give 5* because I think it could have more video demonstrations, but in general it´s good information.
Building a home draft system
great refresher - pity I didn't know this stuff when I built my first Keezer years ago! :)
great basic class
Great demo!
Glad you demo’d the keezer!
All good !
Explanations are good and it's helpful having the videos to actually see the components and differences between them. One suggestion though, I'm from France, and actually all over Europe we use different units, psi, Farenheit, foot are not so easy. Why not have both ? Thanks,
