Hello there, I am already sick of cleaning bottles and wasting money on caps. Plus, dealing with the yeast in the bottom of the brew is never fun either huh? If it's going to be poured in a glass why not eliminate the middle man: the bottle. So I am looking to upgrade my mini-fridge into a draft setup for the 5gal kegs. From reading around I am somewhat confused as to what exactly I need. If i sported the money for this setup: http://www.beveragefactory.com/draftbeer/kits/shtk.shtml
Is that enough to convert my current mini-fridge into a draft setup? I know I would need to buy some corny kegs but as for carbing equipment and the right hoses and what not, what else do I need? Thanks guys, I am quite naive in this new field of study.

Oh yeah, I am a certified pneumatic engineer from paintballing if anyone remembers who Dan Bonebrake is. :off:
 
That is just about everything you would need to convert the mini fridge. That's enough to get you started, until you want a four-tap kegerator built out of your full size fridge like I just did. :D Same stuff, just more of it.
 
Buy a couple cornies (I recommend ball-type) first & figure out how many your fridge will hold. Don't forget to allow about 2 inches for the connectors, some mini-fridges aren't tall enough. And as brewsmith mentions, you may get frustrated only having one tap!
