5.0 from 3 reviews
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.
This course demystified building a keezer in simple steps. I am no longer afraid to tackle this project.
such a good start up course, got a lot of tips and helpful. just about to start my home draft system. thank you
