3 - stale beer? im not sure if this is a valid concern but id be weary of a kegerator keeping a half barrel fresh for a month.

.. i want to brew my own beer though. no idea how. but i want to try.

Cleaning isn't that hard you just have to be sure to do it between kegs. Most good beer comes in 1/6 barrels now which is about 5 gallons which isn't that hard to go through. Also if you like variety homebrewing is the way to go. I have 5 taps for 5 different brews in my keggerator and 4 are homebrew. Homebrewing is quite easy and there are many ways to do it depending on what scale you are looking at.
