Re: Kemo's South Austin Pizza Oven

It would be great to see what you are thinking about for oven idea. I have been at fault several times for highjacking a thread to get involved with different material. By no means was I insinuating you were. Go to the main forum area and choose introductions. There you may open a thread and discuss your ideas. Welcome aboard.

Re: Kemo's South Austin Pizza Oven

Two Dog, I take it you are in the planning stage. Do you know the area and size? You may want to open your own thread to get details going, it would be a bummer to highjack Dave's thread.

Actually this is Kemo's thread..........

And I didn't think he was hijacking it.

And I don't think Steve will mind if we talk about kegs.......

But what I don't understand.... what if you buy a keg of beer, and you want to keep it for several weeks or even a month... I know, once you tap it, that it has to stay cold, but don't you have to keep it pressurized too?

And Les.. I agree. Probably just a mini fridge for me!

Re: Kemo's South Austin Pizza Oven

I have one of those "Keggerators" mine is made by Sanyo and I think it was a FRY's Electronics purchase or possibly an HD purchase. I dont really remember. I got it in an exchange of sorts. Back when Vince Young played for the Longhorns a few years back, a buddy of mine was lobbying hard for a certain number of football tickets. I just happen to have season tickets, another buddy of mine split the cost for a block of 4. Long story short, I bartered the Keggerator for single ticket entry to Ohio State, Oklahoma and some other team. That year I could have paid for my entire season tickets by just selling Ohio State and OU, so I think he got a deal

The thing works great. Mine will hold a 15.5 gallon keg and has a CO2 bottle that came with it. It basically looks like a mini fridge, like one you would find in a hotel or barracks. They come with everything you need including tap and all connections for american beer kegs. I need to take a few pics and post. Its been one of the best appliances ever in my household. The longest I have ever had a keg was 2 months. The first beer was as fresh as the last. Lately, the kegs arent lasting as long. I wonder if im getting ripped off with a keg that shows up half full?

I keep threatening to purchase a European coupler and start trying out some of the German beers like Spaten. Guinness would be really cool in the winter time but you gotta have a really special setup for that.

In any event, Beer and Pizza go together, IMHO. So if you are gonna go bawls to the wall on the Pizza Oven, dont forget the keggerator for the Beer! Its like having Cornflakes without the milk!

Re: Kemo's South Austin Pizza Oven

Dave,

I noticed some people are requesting that you build a keggerator! There are tons of articles online showing how to do this with a standard fridge. With as much room as you have, I bet you could have the tap on the side of the pizza oven and hide the keg cooler and CO2 bottle somewhere out of site. Now wouldnt that be interesting?

What?! How can I get a free subscription and beer?

Re: Kemo's South Austin Pizza Oven

its a magazine that is actually geared towards people that own a pizza restaurant. so there is alot of advertizement. However, they often have recipes and other interesting tidbits.

a buddy of mine that used to run a CiCi's had one at his house and I nabbed a subscription form.

Pizza Magazine - Pizza Today - the top pizza trade magazine in the pizza industry

like I said, its kinda commercialized, but it does have some interesting articles.

I guess they earn revenue from the advertizers because they dont charge for a subscription.

I agree it does have some descent articles, I used to receive it while I was a manager for Domino's Pizza. (That's where I developed my Mad Skillz at pizza making)
