Back story:
I'm getting married in May and am getting ready to entertain 250 guests in the future in-law's back yard. I have had a firm stance that kegged beer is a must even though the wedding planner has strongly advised against it due to equipment malfunctions. Therefore I am in charge of making this happen.
Experience:
I have a two faucet kegerator I built for two 5 gallon corny kegs with a 5 pound CO2 tank.
Requirements:
-Reliably serve 4 beers simultaneously on tap(Newcastle, Great White, Boddingtons, Lagunitas IPA)
-No physically pumping to pressurize kegs
-Under $500
-Have faucets mounted for ease of pouring
My Plan:
-Put all four kegs in keg buckets and keep cold using ice.
-Use one 10 pound CO2 tank to provide pressure for all kegs
-Mount four faucets to a piece of wood that will be behind the bartender
-Use my current regulator
Equipment(all prices based off amazon)
2 x D Keg Coupler ($46)
1 x G Keg Coupler ($60)
1 x S Keg Coupler ($43)
4 x Beer Faucet ($90)
1 x Four Way CO2 Distribution Bar ($60)
1 x 10lb CO2 Tank ($70)
50 feet x Beer Line Hose ($30)
Total = 400
Obviously my main goal is getting it to work without hassle on the big day. But I do get to keep everything and eventually I'll build a keezer and use some of the parts. I'll probably hold on to the sanke couplers for parties and what not.
My question is whether I am even going about this the right way. Is there a much simpler way of doing this? Or is there some glaring flaws in my plan? I would love any input as I am sure I am not the first person to do something like this.
Thanks!
