So like a fool I can't find the lids to my 2 Ball Lock kegs. Will pin lock keg lids work? I'm considering just buying 2 of the beat up kegs from AIH and being done with it.

I don't have a counterflow device to fill from my kegs to the bottle. I am wanting to enter my beer in our groups collaboration contest and wondered if it would be ok to tap from the keg to the bottle and sit for 2-3 days capped? Or would it flatten out? Any other solutions?

Anyone here condition their beer in the keg using sugar/water vs force carbing? Thinking abt doing it to my Belgian dubel.

What is the best site you guys have found to get a basic kegging set up from? I already have a CO2 tank.... I guess I would just need regulator, kegs, and hoses. Ultimate plan would be to do a Keezer... so eventually taps and a distributor would be needed as well.
