Whats the difference between these kegging packages?

phidelt844 · 12-03-2008, 10:07 PM

Slowly getting my feet wet in to the world of kegging, and saw numerous people point to midwestsupplies for the basic kits. Seems the usual recommendation was a basic 2 keg setup as follows:

Brew Logic Dual Tap Draft System- with Reconditioned CO2 Tank :: Midwest Supplies Homebrewing and Winemaking Supplies

This one's $199.95, but out of stock. At the very top of the description, it recommends a different package:

Dual Cornelius Keg System with 5 lb. CO2 tank (comes empty) :: Midwest Supplies Homebrewing and Winemaking Supplies

This one's $225.95, but for the life of me I can not tell the difference between them. At first I thought that one of them could control separate pressure in each keg, but since they both have 3 gauges, it looks like they both have that ability. Can someone help me out on what the difference is?

If I'm reading correctly, one has a new CO2 tank, the other a refurbished CO2 tank.

The other difference is that the cheaper one is currently unavailable.

May I recomend this guy as an alternative, I bought from him and he was great, plus you get a free set of extra o-rings for each keg you buy. http://stores.kegconnection.com/
