I was fortunate enough to recieve a kegging system from my father-in-law over the holidays. He gave me two cornies, one primary regulator, and two 5# CO2 tanks.
I'm trying to figure out how to use this set up and what I should add. I envision that I'll one day have 3 or 4 kegs on tap at one time. That being said, which do you think is the best option:
1) Sell one (or both) of the 5# tanks, buy a 20# tank and get a secondary regulator with 3 or 4 ports.
2)Use one of the 5# tanks for serving and one 5# tank for carbing. Buy another primary regulator and a 3 or 4 way distributor for the serving tank.
3)...ideas?
I think option 2 would be easiest on my wallet (and SWMBO does the bills), but I've also heard that 5# tanks will end up costing you more in the end due to the increased frequency of refilling.
I'd love to hear a suggestion from an experienced kegger. What would make most sense?
Thanks in advance!
