    After 2+ years i am officially making the jump to kegging. Bottling 15 gal on Saturday killed me. I know the basics of what I need (kegs taps regulator lines) bit what other equipment can you not live without?

    Is it a double regulator set up or 3 way manifold? Or maybe a 20# tank? Just looking for ideas so I don't have to buy stuff twice thanks

    It depends on what you're trying to achieve. Dual regulators and secondary regulators are "better" than splitters and manifolds. But if you're going to serve beers of the same co2 volume, it's pointless. So ultimately what are you wanting to achieve. I say build it, so you're not re-investing to upgrade.

    I also recommend bev seal hoses. And I recommend swivel barbs on your hoses, so out I can swap couplers easy. I don't sweat pin over ball. It's all the same to me.
