Can anyone pls help, I am wanting to brew a home brew style beer in a stainless steel keg that can be put straight into a fridge with a tap on the door. Can I brew in the keg or do I need a vessel then transfer it? Can I purchase a low cost microbrewery?

Get a brewing kit from a local homebrew shop. They'll also sell you all of the ingredients for your beer. The beer must be brewed in the fermenters (glass jug or plastic buckets) and then transfered to the keg at time of bottling. Then you can put the keg wherever you want it. Brewing in the keg will not produce the results you're wanting.

You have to brew in a seperate vessle then transfer for a few reasons. All the equipment will cost you a bit of money but will work out as good economics within a realatively short time. Im assuming you already have a frige with a tap mounted on the door or side of frige. If not, this is possible and works great.

The best thing to do is buy a kit from a brew supplier either online or better, a local place they will sell you the kit, ingredients, and give you a lot of free advice. If you have a question...ask it! Most guys are willing to help with any question. Expect to spend between $90 to $120 on your kit and ingerdients. Most of your first purchase you'll be keeping forever the only thing you'll have to buy again in the ingredients. Get educated and have fun.
I'm jealous, I always wanted a fridge with a tap!

You can't serve straight from the container that you ferment in. There'll be too much sediment in the beer.
Homebrewers generally brew five gallons at a time (about 2 cases worth). You can buy a homebrewing kit from homebrew supply stores. You can also buy kegging systems designed for homebrewers that come with five gallon kegs.

it may be very complicated to keg a house brew using fact the quantity of air interior the desirable is a element in how carbonated the beer gets. it somewhat is completed, yet in straightforward terms by very experienced brewers. right it somewhat is a extra valuable concept. detect a brewing save and purchase what are talked approximately as "growlers". I extremely have one. those are extensive bottles that carry some six-%. of beer. they are costly yet stunning. and of direction you are able to serve your individual beer at a social gathering - I presume you and anybody else is 21.
