Spare a keg?

Has anyone got an extra keg they would be willing to lend out for the few weeks around Cerveza de Mayo? My schedule got away from me, and it looks like the only way I'll have time to brew the IPA I had planned for the party is to skip dry hopping so I can bottle it early enough, or borrow a keg so I can carb it quicker.

…actually, this might be a good excuse to finally buy myself a keg. That might be my new backup plan, but still, if you've got a spare you're willing to lend (or one you want to sell cheap!) I'd love to hear from you.

Hey Brock,

Hey Brock,

Sorry, but I do not have an extra keg at the moment. I can tell you though that dry hopping may still be an option if you do get a keg. I am dry hopping an IPA as I type this in one of my kegs. I just use a hop bag and hang it from one of the keg handles with unscented/unflavored dental floss. It's thin enough that it doesn't really break the seal on the keg, and the beer can be carbing while dry hopping! A word of warning though... once you go keg, you never go back!

Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza.
