Where are you located? I found kegs on kijiji for pretty cheap and picked up a used 10lb co2 tank filled filled for about 50 bucks.

In saying that, I order most of my hardware from OBK.

Hey guys, i am getting tired of bottling and i need some advice buying my first Kegging setup.

Is this a good first kit? And is this a good deal for this kit?

I appreciate all the help i can get with this, i have no keg equipment whatsoever and looks like this would cover all my needs.

Thanks

1. Easy to clean
2. Easy to modify for line balancing
3. No fridge alterations or Freon worries

1. I have yet to find a cobra tap that hasn't began to drip or leak after a few weeks worth of use. They are fine for a party, but not everyday use IMO
2. No pretty taps to impress you friends

OBK is great. ya you can piece together some hobbled crap from craigslist or just pay for new stuff...

just depends on the budget, where are you chilling the keg? you might want to consider a better faucet then that thing, but hey it prolly works fine.

I am really on a budget for this so i don't mind if the faucet drips a little, i can always upgrade later, right?

Yup. You can also just store the cobra tap in a half glass of diluted starsan or something, and wipe it clean before use.

It aint pretty, but it works.

Brulosopher did a pretty good write up about how he fills and uses his pin-locks.

Cool, that was helpful.

I guest using only StarSan between batches is not enough right? Oxiclean is required too?
