I already have a kegerator at my house. So what would be involved (Cost and equipment) to keg my homemade brew instead of bottling it. Since I am going to have to buy bottles anyway, I was thinking I could just keg it.
Thoughts?

Depending on what you want to do, you'll need new ball lock/pin lock taps for cornie kegs, the cornie kegs themselves...
If you want to add on to your current setup, add on a gas manifold to T off the gas, more gas and beer line, shanks, and faucets. ...thats it...
Figure 30 bucks a keg after shipping, replacing the o-rings, and lubing, $12 a set for taps. Lines could run around 10 bucks, shanks are like 20 each, faucets are another $3-40 depending on what you get (cobra spicket, standard faucet, shirrons, etc).
sirsloop said:You really should carbonate at serving temps. You will need higher pressures to get the same level of carbonation at room temps, which will require a secondary regulator. PITFA IMHO.
