brewing beer leads to happy life
Here is my situation. I have a refrigerator in the garage that I want to turn into a kegerator. I have the money to do it and its burning a hole in my pocket.
I would like for it to have 3 total taps for now.
2 5 Gallon Corny kegs for my home brew. I can fit more than that but for now only two.
Now dont flame me for this next part, but I would also like a third tap for kegs that I would like to buy commercially from my favorite local craft brewery. I have room for a 15.5 gallon keg and the two 5 gallon cornys in my fridge along with a Co2 tank also Im pretty sure.
I need to know what I need to buy equipment wise. I have just bought two ball lock corny kegs from craiglist. I know I need new O rings and keg lube, but thats about it. I have been reading and researching like mad trying to figure it out but need help.
The brewery I want to buy beer from has the 15.5 gallon ½ barrel and the 1/6 barrel also.
Are the connections the same for those sizes of commercial kegs?
Ideally I would like to get the 15 gallon keg when I buy, but I have to directly ask how long will it last and remain fresh and tasty in the keg when its hooked up on my system?
If it would be bad in the time it would take me to drink it then I would like the option of the smaller commercial keg or possible others from other companies.
What equipment is needed for the corny kegs and how does that differ? Would one Co2 tank work for all three taps if its setup correctly? Would it require a big multigage regulator?
I would appreciate any advice and answers you might have.
