So... being totally new to this, and mostly clueless about kegging, I am wondering if I am missing anything from this list (or have anything here I can do without.) We are looking to put this in the living room (with a bar build around it) and for the most part want to do it right, but for as little as possible.
As I am in Canada I am planning on ordering from Ontariobeerkegs.com, since customs charges can often be the same as the price of what one orders in homebrew supplies (or so I have heard) at least this way there are no surprises.
Right now I have an old fridge (Kenmore, with 2 freezers on the left hand side?) and 5 old pepsi kegs (not refurbished.) DH will be looking into getting a CO2 tank through work. Inside dimensions of the fridge are 22x16x55. Will need to be cleaned (serious mold problem) so bleach? Or other suggestions? And would like to paint it (black enamel? Or some sort of appliance paint?)
We are thinking of running 2 taps, with 3 kegs in the fridge and the CO2 on the outside.
List of what is in my cart:
10 sets of Orings $22
12ft 3/16x5/16" beer line $6
18ft 5/16x9/16" gas line $18
4 way gas distributor $45 (only slightly more than the 3 way? so we thought it was worth it?)
Duel gauge regulator $50
5 sets of ball lock disconnects $60
5 cornelious poppets (do I need 10 for 5 kegs?) $15
keg lube $4.50
2 chrome faucets with shank (and handle) $52
Any help is appreciated... not really inclined to pay a bunch, wait for an order and then find out that we missed some small thing.
(Not on the list: hose clamps... DH says he can get them cheaper.)
