Works slick.
Keg, then fill growlers or bottles as needed.

Thanks for the input. DIY? You obviously don't know who you're talking to.

I will look into working that out. I do have a bit of time. Guess I'll start extract. All-grain eventually.

I think that is the way to go. You can get great results with extract brewing. You'll get a handle on whether or not you enjoy the process. If you do, then look into all grain.

if you can buy the parts and slip the rubber stopper over the racking cane, then plug it into a pre-made hose.. You are good to go.

That's the plan.
