Here's a site I came across that I have not seen mentioned before. Best prices I've seen:

Ol' Grog said:Appreciate that David. Just one more thing, your talking about traditional conditioning as in priming with sugar and let set for two weeks, right? What if I wanted to go CO2 conditioning? Could I add the CO2, shake, let set, inject some more, etc. etc. until it has the appropiate volume. Would all those steps have to be in a refrigerated area or can it be done at room temp? The reason for asking is that room is a factor. If I get these two kegs and a chiller that will fit just two kegs, could I be conditioning one more and have it ready when I need it, or store it, at fermenting/bottling temperatures? Or does all the CO2 require cold conditioning???
Thanks.
Ol' Grog said:Just one thing else, I'm about 90% decided. Is there anything else you'd like to see with this kit? Is there something messing? I'd like to have two brews on tap. That's eventually my setup goal. Do I need a manifold or anything? I appreciate your reply's as I'm going into this earlier than I should but at this point in my life I have the money and if I don't spend it, the wife WILL!!!!! It's my turn, dang it!! Boy, this is becoming a fast favorite hangout of mine. May have to "up" my membership.
rdwj said:The only thing that I don't understand is that they seem to be listing all the tubing together as if you'd use the same for the gas as you would for dispensing. I have 3/16 for the beer side, which makes balancing a bit easier, but I have 5/16 for my gas. I've never seen anyone use 3/16 for gas.
You don't need a manifold for 2 taps, just a splitter. You can do it a couple of different ways. If your tank is inside the fridge, you probably want the one that fits right on the regulator with two shut offs. If you're going to keep the tank outside, you probably want a bulkhead to get the line in the fridge and then split it in-line. You can get a fancy one with shut-offs or a simple splitter.
If you keep waiting for the best deal to come around, you'll never get a keg! I put my system together from scratch by buying a couple of used cornies, scoring a regulator on eBay, and leasing the CO2 cylinder from the local welding shop. It probably worked out to just over $100. The eBrew kit sounds nice...go for it!Ol' Grog said:Boy, the closer I think I am to buying a system at a good price, I find another. There are some differences. Single regulator vs. double regulator. That only comes with one keg. Man, I'm confused now more than ever.
