Hi,
In an effort to piece together a keezer as economically as possible, I am trying to find as much stuff as I can second hand. I recently purchased a tower of tappers, I got 7 taps for $115. I have found a guy selling some co2 distributors.
I am thinking I will wind up with a 7 cf freezer, similar to the popular GE model. It could fit 5 ball locks between the hump and the floor.
This person selling CO2 distributors has a few of them, one has 3 connectors on it ($30), one has 4 connectors ($40), and 1 has 6 connectors ($50). Are these good prices for distributors?
I am thinking I would like to have maybe 1 cider on tap as well as 3-4 beers, and possibly a root beer as well. I have a single stage CO2 regulator as well as 2 dual stage CO2 regulators (got them for $20).
If I want a root beer, I will need to use a distributor for that, correct? And then I would have another distributor with check valves for the other lines?
So I could have:
....................................................../--check valve -- root beer
CO2 tank - dual stage @ root beer psi -| splitter
......................................................\--single stage @ beer psi -- four way distributor with check valves
Am I correct in that logic? I know that if I had various styles of beer on tap ideally they would be at different pressures, but I think for a more quick and dirty solution, this is more practical.
Is $40 a good price for a 4 way distributor?
