Got my kegs and CO2

[kvanconant]

So I got the expensive parts out of the way.
I scored 2 5 gal ball lock kegs and a 20# co2 tank with co2 in it for $140. Got a fridge and chest freezer for free so I can build either a keezer or kegerator.

Now time to convert my bar I built into a wet bar with beer on tap.
Can't wait!

Wow! That sounds like an awesome deal! I just dropped $260 on a used 5 gal ball lock, and a used 5 lb aluminum CO2 tank filled, along with the regulator, picnic tap hose and various fittings. Was this a craigslist score, or did you find this deal at your LHBS? Can't wait to read about the finished wet bar!

The kegs and Co2 tank were craigslist scores.
The bar I built a few years ago to serve beer on tap for cookouts and family get togethers.
Really the only other things I need is gas and liquid tubing, fittings, and the taps. Since I got the expensive parts out of the way pretty cheap I can go ahead and spring for the higher end taps to go ahead and put in my bar.

I'm building the taps into my bar and running a keezer underneath my bar.
So I can run the lines out of the side of my collar and just tap them on my bar.
I should be able to hold 4 kegs in my keezer once I build it.

Do yourself a favor and use 3/16" ID tubing and 1/4" barbs for both gas and liquid. You might need to install a new outlet barb on the regulator, but you'll avoid losing gas to unexpected leaks, which is fun for nobody. Also, with only one size to worry about, repairs and expansions will be that much easier. Congrats on the new system, you'll love it!

Awesome thanks for the tips!
I will change them out today.

Thanks.
