Regulator on Amazon

[ryan_howard]

Wondering if anyone has any experience or opinion on this regulator from Amazon. I'm concerned it's too "low-end."

I did pretty well this weekend on getting some kegs and a CO2 tank via Craigslist.

Thanks!

If you're looking for this price range, i would get this one instead:

You don't need a flow meter, you just need tank PSI and output (keg) psi.

Here's the brandname reg for beer serving:

btw i have a bunch of these i got 2nd/3rd/?-hand when i got my tanks (total craigslist score), the output gauge is what is most important to get right. You would adjust the pressure knob/screw and stop when the desired psi is on the gauge. Some of mine are beat to heck and have surface rust but are spotless on the inside so i'm fine with using them. I wouldn't use it on the space shuttle of course... (ok, the new Ares rocket if you want to be a stickler about it)

The screw valve is a PITA btw, i yearn for the knobs on the taprites.

Hey, that's great. Thanks! I didn't see that one with my first searches. I'll keep scouting Craigslist for sure. The advantage of Amazon is the free shipping - really cuts down on cost.

Thanks again!
