So, I connected the keg to my kegerator last night. Being that I had to change from Sankey to Pin Lock I had to change connectors for gas and beer. Of course when I connected the keg it started to leak. I cut a little bit of tube and tried again but it still leaked, I believe I have a bad connector and the new one should arrive tomorrow. Regardless, I did pour a small glass and though it was flat, it didn't have time to carbonate yet, it tasted pretty good. I'm sure once carbonated it will be a lot better.

 

Okay, keg is carbonated and it's not bad, it's not great either but it is definitely drinkable and enjoyable. I do not drink a lot of Brown Ale so I'm going to need to pick up some to compare. I will also bring a sample to the local home brew shop for some criticism.
