Review: The Cask Widge

cask widgeHappy International Beer Day! I just finished celebrating by brewing ten gallons of smoked stout, and I'm looking forward to a draught of blonde ale from my kegerator later today. I've been homebrewing for about two years, and it's a fun, practical hobby. Variety is the name of the game, both in terms of beer styles to produce but also in terms of the methods used to produce beer: extract, partial mash, all grain, single infusion, decoction, boil-in-a-bag, 1 gallon, 5 gallons, 10 gallons -- you get the idea. The hobby facilitates the purchase of a tremendous amount of equipment for each of these different methods. The latest addition to my zymurgy hobby is the cask widge.Like most homebrewers, I started out bottling the beer I produced. While this makes it easy to share my work with friends and colleagues, I find it to be a tedious, time consuming process. When I bought my first keg, I swore I'd never bottle beer again! Kegging is so much easier, so much faster, than bottling. But it's not without its problems.
