I'm still a novice with kegging, even though I've just bought a bunch of what I need to get started. Here's what I have:
6 kegs, ball lock
co2 tank/regulator,
5 way gas line splitter
ball lock liquid out + hose + picnic tap X2,
ball lock gas in + hose X2
chest freezer w/ johnson controller.
Now I want to convert freezer into a collared keezer, with 4 taps coming through collar (expandable to 6). Strictly speaking about the kegging/dispensing side of things (in other words, not involving the keezer build itself) could a couple of people could look over this and confirm it's all there? I don't want any delays once I start putting on faucets and hosing because of missing pieces.
For each individual tap, I need:
gas hose, gas in QD, hose clamps.
liquid out QD, liquid hose (w/clamps), shank, nut, tailpiece, washer, faucet, tap handle.
Is that it? Assuming all stainless, w/perlick 425's, ~3" shank, and cheapo tap handles, how much should each tap set be, I'm getting about $80 +tax and/or shipping? is that right? anybody know who has the best bottom dollar online?
for gas hose, how long is good? just long enough to reach plus 1' maybe? for liquid hose, should I figure 10'?
anything else I should know that isn't obvious by a novice kegger?
