My birthday is coming up soon, and I need to give my wife a wishlist. I want to start kegging, but I need to be pretty specific to tell her what I need. My local HBS offers this, look at the bottom of the page:

I'd ask for the 5lb CO2, and a 2nd keg. Also, how many cubic feet should a mini-fridge be to comfortably hold 2 kegs? Thanks all.
 
Check out this bad larry:

There are probably even better deals but this is what I got. Seems to be a good price.
For the fridge, depends on the floor space, etc. Cornies are 9" diameter and the CO2 is about the same. You can have your CO2 outside the fridge, you'll just have to drill a hole for the gas line. The height needed is minimum 26"-27" to squeeze it in. I'm sure others have their thoughts too.
 
I think you answered your own question. (buy a wide fridge, feed your addiction).

oh, and a big mug!
 
Wow, those seem to be pretty good deals at Kegconnections and Midwest. I've purchased two premium systems from Kegconnections and have been happy with everything. The Midwest setup has the added benefit of individual keg pressure.
I guess check shipping costs too.
 
I appreciate all the quick responses. I just need to figure out if it's cheaper to have it shipped, or to pick it up in the local store with the additional keg. Thanks.
 
if yo upick it up can you buy a full co2 tank? I dont think that they can ship pressurized, zymurgical terrorism and all.
