I do want to get a Soda keg system going but am going to wait until I have
room to put another fridge. I think until then I may purchase the Tap a
draft for a temporary basis($80 with extra bottles not too bad), I don't
like bottling and usually fill 1 liter flip top bottles for my smaller
batches. I guess I would still have to bottle condition. Does anyone have
any personal experience with the the Tap a Draft system, like how long will
a bottle last in the fridge?, Do they bust frequently? etc.

Thanks
