Keg a Thon

Well, the new walk-in cooler was installed today, though it won't be fully operational until Friday afternoon. 

That said, I had the joy of indulging in one of my most cherished duties:  Keg Cleaning.  This time, with a vengeance.

There were 22 of them in all.  Thirteen of them will be used to keg off an entire batch of Oktoberfest.  The rest will be used to keg off some of our house beers in order to free up the serving vessels.

This is chump change in comparison to the keg output of places like the Water Street Brewery or the Milwaukee Ale House, but I think they have gads of underlings ready, willing and able to help out.

The tough part is going to be hauling them over to the walk-in cooler once they're filled.  Without the luxury of a forklift (or even doors wide enough the fit a pallet through) it's going to be a keg-at-a-time operation.
At roughly 165# per filled keg, I am considering having my spine reinforced.
