Looking To Start Kegging

B33rL0v3r · 09-23-2011, 06:07 PM

I'm looking to start kegging very soon and would really appreciate some advice on a good set up. I'm looking to do two 5 gallons kegs, or four 5 gallon kegs. Probably the former since I think I would need a chest freezer for the latter.

What is a good refrigerator?
I want a dual tap on top
What about CO2 regulators

Honestly, any advice would be greatly appreciated. I would strongly prefer not having to remove a freezer section from a mini-fridge if possible.

Thanks!

Get a kegerator that holds a 1/2 bbl keg. That size will also hold two 5 gal cornies. Most come with the single tower but can be upgraded later on. Some kegerators also come with a 5 lb CO2 tank and a regulator. I got mine off of ebay from a company in Canada for about $600. I've had it for about 8 years and just recently added a chrome tower with two taps. I also upgraded the faucets to Perlick 425s. It looks good and works quite well.

Something like this would do the trick:

A Sanyo 4912 is a good choice. You don't really need a tap tower. picnic taps work just fine.

Will that hold 2 corny kegs and a 5lb tank?

Mine does, yes. You have to take out the shelves and cut away some of the plastic on the door but it works great. Also holds a 6.5 gallon carboy if you get a temp controller and want to use it for fermentation.
