Hi, I have been reading a crap load of material regarding kegging and kegerators... I have 3 ball-lock corny kegs (and use them with disconnects, a cobra tap, and cartridge style CO2 thingy)...

I have a full size fridge in the basement that I keep these kegs in and drink from, but now I want a 10lb co2 tank and a couple taps coming through the door.


Below is what I see from SIMGO in Canada:

REFRIG.CONV..

CONVERT A REFRIGERATOR INTO A BEER DISPENSING UNIT. ALL THAT'S NEEDED IS THIS COMPLETE INSTALL KIT AND AN OLD REFRIGERATOR.

ALL PARTS SOLD SEPARATELY TO MAKE UP THE KIT:

1 77-5068 WALL MOUNT DRAIN AND SPLASH
1 21-6479 5 LB. CO2 CYLINDER
1 77-5303 TAP AMERICAN COUPLER




Okay so, I called them because I do not know what these things all are, and the guy said "ah we don't really use that pre-made list" so I told him what i want and he talked me out of it (not sure why... maybe they dont like making money?)...
but anyway,

all i have are the kegs, and a couple of the disconnects (one gas, one beer).

Is there out there a list of parts for a system like what i want?
one co2 tank,
one regulator
a splitter of sorts (for 2 kegs getting co2)
all appropriate hoses and legths
shanks,
taps,
drip tray..


not sure if I am missing anyhting...

cheers in advance for any good links. :)
 
My advice is to figure out if you want any particular or 'premium' parts first. I just went through this (ordered yesterday). The new style perlick faucets w/ creamer (575ss) and a high end dual body regulator were important to me. If you're picky about the drip tray (I was) that can be a deciding factor too.

Once you have that most vendors can help you out (call/email if you don't see a part you want), but if you're as picky as me you'll be able to narrow the vendor list. Check out the 'vendor showcase' forum here to get some ideas of vendors.
