Thanks in advance for anyone with kegging expertise that has a minute to reply to my thread!
I won a new kegerator in a contest (Beverage Air BM23) and I've been researching for a week the best way to set up for multiple homebrew kegs / taps / regulators and I'm a little confused with all of the set up options. I'd like to have 3 taps and I have room for 3 or possibly 4, 5gal kegs. If there's room for a 4th keg, I'll probably use for aging (barleywine, stout, etc.) and it doesn't have to be on tap. Could really use some good advice on the following:
1. Ball/Pin lock or 1/6 sixth kegs (I'm not seeing anything currently on my local CrgsList). I'd like to have the option to dry hop my IPA's in the keg.
2. Perlick 525ss 3 tap tower, basic 3 tap stainless faucets/tower, or add 2 chrome faucets to the original single faucet tower that is currently on the kegerator. I want good, easy to clean faucets that will last.
3. 3 gauge regulator (2 separate keg ports) with one port split to 2 kegs or standard dual gauge regulator with 3 port air distributor. I'd like to be able to force carb with an available port without much hassle.
4. 5lb or 10lb Co2 cylinder, or (2)5lb cylinders. Looks like the 5lb will fit the best on the back shelf inside the kegerator and I can fit 2 of them if that is a good option.
Thanks again for your input!!!
