Hello everyone,
I'm sure every newbie asks this, but here it is.
I want to keg and am looking at equipment.
I am thinking of just keeping some growlers full in my fridge to keep the beer cold and keep the rest in the keg. I don't have a kegerator yet, and probably won't till next year. Is this a decent idea or do others have a better solution?
Equipment: Most people I know of say ball lock is the way to go, the others are indifferent... I've heard very few pin lock recommendations. Would you agree?
I almost bought from kegkits.com. Thank you for the sticky!!!!
Has anyone had any *recent* experience, good or bad, with anyone else? I am looking at some equipment from williamsbrewing.com
What about new vs used kegs. I've heard the quality of used kegs has gone down hill in the last couple of years. Is it worth buying a used one for $35 or should I go new.
As far as tanks go, there seems to be a lot of hype. The brewshop not so close to me (but the closest one) will swap them, but you pay over $200 to do that. They claim they are certified. Are the ones you buy online certified? Do I need to have a certified tank to have it filled by other CO2 suppliers?
Any comments are greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
WT
