Hi,
After home brewing for a little over a year, I'm ready to ditch the bottles (mostly) and start kegging.
I bought some used pin lock kegs this summer, along with a CO2 tank and a three guage regulator. The regulator has one guage for the tank pressure, and two for the line pressures. I just bought an Edgestar BR2000BL for my kegerator, and I'm trying to figure out exactly how I'm going to set it up.
The edgestar has a hole in the back for a single CO2 line, which doesn't do me any good with my two line setup. Plus my lines came attached to the regulator and the pin lock connector, so I'd have to cut them off and reattach them after I fed them through the hole.
I'll have enough room in the kegerator to put a shelf in the very top position, which would allow me to put the regulator inside the kegerator. While I would be able to cram the CO2 tank in as well, it won't fit with the regulator attached. My questions are:
1) Is it possible to have an extension between the CO2 tank and the regulator? Ideally I'd like this to be some kind of flexible tubing so that it would be easy to check and adjust the regulator, but I don't know if tubing could handle the pressure directly from the tank. If not, I'm thinking I should be able to create some kind of metal tubing that would run from the CO2 tank, up the back of the Kegerator, through the hole and attach to the regulator inside. Any thoughts on this?
2) My other question, which could completely ruin this idea, is can a regulator be kept inside the kegerator?
Thanks as always for your help!
