Help....keg for hubby

The Pol · May 12, 2007

Hey guys this is the famous SWMBO. I am wanting to buy my husband a kegging system for father's day. I am so lost it is unreal. I know that he wants a single regulator, 5 gallon keg, the hose thingies, the CO2 tank thing....I have no idea which is better between the ball lock or pin lock or where to get these things for the best price. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks

Don't you think he'll see this thread?

The Pol · May 12, 2007

Does it matter now? It is either I post it here, or not get it at all, because I am clueless... what is a regulator? How many hose thingys does he need? Where is the best place to buy this thing?

What's a SWMBO?

Go with the ball lock kegs. They are a bit more common and easy to work with. You can find complete systems on line or if there is a home brew store near you they might have them. Here are a couple:
Don't worry about a CO2 bottle. He can get one from a welding supply store on an exchange program.

SWMBO as I hear is what this web sites call us wives "She who must be obeyed". I kind of liked the abbreviation LOL

The Pol · May 12, 2007

Ball lock...got it. No CO2...got it. And I will check out those websites thanks. We have a brewing store in town but they are tiny and family owned so I don't think they'll have what I am looking for.

Wow!

The Pol is a lucky guy. Wish my SWMBO would get me a keg (Or let me buy one at least

) She makes all the dough though...

How about this...

94 dollars, all except the CO2

I'd do the upgrades...

Barbed Fittings will be supplied unless you upgrade to the quick disconnect fittings. These will allow you to add other options to your kegging system...well worth the $5 upgrade.

The dual guage regulator is for inert gases. If you might use Nitrogen to dispense a stout this is a good idea, otherwise save the $10.

You might look here for different configurations: http://stores.ebay.com/Tom-Hargrave-Sales

I'd probably just get the CO2 tank from your local airgas dealership.
