Corny Kegging For Dummies

Okay, so I'm 6 batches into my revived hobby and I'm tired of bottling.

Can anyone point me to a sight that illustrates the basics of home kegging using corny kegs?

I can get my hands on a CO2 tank, I've found a local shop that will do a 10lb bottle swap for $22.

I've found several places to get the corny kegs for between $30-$35 each (though I'm still willing to dumpster dive to save money).

Now I just need to see and understand the connections, the hoses, the regluators, etc....

I know the immense wealth of knowledge on this forum won't dissapoint.

(Okay, now I'm brown nosing)

Here is another great resource on Soda Keg Maintenance.

As for those cornies, go to www.adventuresinhomebrewing.com. They have kegs for $18 a piece.

Do it.

You will never look back.

$22.00 sounds pretty steep for a tank swap. Is this a welding supply house?

No. It's an "Airgas" franchise that specializes in...well...gas.

The upside is that it's only a 5 minute drive from my work. I'm not having much luck finding welding shops in my immediate area.

Ya cheapest around here is 17.50 for a 5lb tank.
