I going to order this 3 keg "system" from ebrew, but it doesn't look like it's got everything I need to actually serve beer from 3 different kegs. Can any of you kegging pros out there tell me what else I'll need to get set up?

$165 + $28 for shipping seems like about the best deal I've been able to find. What do you think?

They've also got this thing, but it doesn't look like you could just have 2 kegs... I'm confused.

Well, from what I've read (and I'm a kegging newbie as well), you'd need two more picnic/cobra taps and probably two of those tiny CO2 cartridge things...although the second picture looks like a three way splitter for the CO2 tank. You'd still need ball-lock gas disconnects for each of the kegs.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm going to have some kegging questions myself in a few days.

Good luck and BREW ON:mug:
 
You will need a CO2 splitter or manifold with lines (which is what the second picture is) and gas disconnects, plus two more taps. Or you can do what I do with my extra kegs, just move the tap and CO2 around. Unless you are having a party, you don't need to have the CO2 connected all of the time.
 
OK. Thanks. I'll probably just wait until I get it and see how everything works. I can do the switcharoo until I buy the other parts. Maybe I'll just wait until I build a kegerator to get the other parts. :D

Cheers guys! :mug:
