New member, first post.
I've spent a considerable amount of time searching and reading previous posts and researching, trying to learn from the experience here.
First, i'm not much of a home brewer yet, I'm working on it, but I absolutely love craft beer.
I am building a home bar, which includes a kegerator, that I will be filling with kegs of local craft beer until I am to the point of kegging my own. Sorry if that gets me hate, but I entertain a lot, and this is the most efficient way to serve quantities of great beer in my home until I'm kegging my own.
The kegerator I purchased is Marvel 61HKBSFRX
It is a stripped down, discontinued model that needs the rest of the required equipment to get me up and running.
As this is my first kegerator, I have no idea what additional equipment I need to get to the point of pouring beer for friends in my home. So, I'm hoping your collective wisdom can give me a bit of a shopping list to complete this project.
You'll need to know:
-This will be mounted under the counter in my bar.
- I plan to have either 2 or 3 taps. (I figure it better to have 3 and not need one, than to have 2 and wish I had one more).
- I would prefer stainless over chrome when given the choice.
Things I'm aware I'll need:
Tower, lines, CO2 tank.
What am I not aware that I need? How can I make this a really great setup that I can enjoy for many years to come?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
