Yet another Corny question (I'm investing in a couple of them, it seems). I just talked to the guys at the LHBC and they say that, in addition to the kegs themselves, I'll need probably $200 of gear to get started kegging (bottle of CO2 plus regulator plus tubing and misc).
So, as an intermediate step, if I want to use the Corny kegs for secondary ferments or lagering or something, what portion of the equipment do I need? The guy at the store seemed to think that I could just seal them tightly and there would be like no chance at all that they'd blow up or anything (seems reasonable, since I'm not talking about primary fermenting).
But... would that make it dangerous to open later? I imagine you could build up a few PSI from a month of secondary. Should I go ahead and get the regulator at least? Something else? Or am I needlessly freaking out?
