Best/Cheapest Kegerator Conversion Supply Site?
|
|
I think I'm going to bite the bullet and buy the rest of the stuff I need for a sanyo 4912 conversion. So where should I look for the best combination of selection, price and quality?

Kegconnection.com had the best price that I was able to find. 2 kegs, 5# tank, dual body regulator, ss dual tower, all hoses & fittings, and two perlicks for $413.

Cool. Thanks. Is it worth the extra money to split my gas line with individual regs?

Its worth it, but not crucial. Most of the styles I like are similar in CO2 levels so I get by without it...

Yeah, I'd be doing the same thing. My main concern was: what do you do if you need to force-carb one of the kegs? Do you increase the PSI and just turn the other valve off?

Usually one keg is saturated with CO2 so I can shut off the valve and serve from the CO2 in the headspace. Then I jack up the tank output pressure to force carb the newer keg for 1-2 days. I usually force carb at my serving PSI though so its not always an issue. I've found that force carbing at serving pressure makes it much less likely I'll over-carb the keg...
