What is the absolute cheapest set up to get into kegging?

Nope. Two picnic taps will cost you well under $10. As long as you have a CO2 tank, you can force carbonate (you can't force carbonate with a paintball bottle or a party pump).TheBone said:Now I'm getting picky, huh?

As for budget, if I could do something for less than $500.00, that would probably be ideal.
Here is a local seller. $425 asking price and ready to go.TheBone said:at this point.

YooperBrew said:I have an apartment sized fridge that I bought second hand for $40. I also bought another keg as the same time, so I could have two beers on tap and one extra keg.
Evan! said:Very doable.
Here's my bill:
Sanyo 4912 Fridge: $200 new
4 kegs: Free
2-tap tower w/o faucets: $80 (sale @ AHS)
Ventmatic Faucets: $30 for 2
Co2, dual-regulator, miscellaneous tubing & disconnects: $230
So, even with free kegs, that's over $500. If you didn't care about the tap tower and went the picnic tap route, you could easily get a chest freezer for $150 that could fit 4 cornies, the co2 tank, and picnic taps. Then, I'd imagine you'd be looking at...about $400, unless you found some great deals on stuff (like free freezers on craigslist)...and that's not counting the kegs (I don't know how much they cost).
