I want start to Keg my beer. I have a fridge set up the a dual tap. What other then Kegs are needed? What size Hose and connections? It will be a Pin lock set up.

Thanks
 
CO2-tank ->regulator ->gas line ->gas disconnect -> gas-in post of keg
liquid-out post of keg -> liquid disconnect -> beer line ->picnic tap or other faucet.

Gas lines are usually 5/16", beer lines 3/16".
 
What arcane said, plus more taps...I started out with 2 and now can't see myself with less than the 4 I have now ( and I want more!!! :) )
 
If you have 2 Taps then you will need
1 Co2 tank
1 Co2 regulator
gas line ( 1/4 or 5/16 is fine)
a splitter for the gas line( to go to 2 kegs)
2 ball lock gas disconnects( I prefer mfl flare fitting with 1/4 barb fitting screwed on, it makes it easier to disconnect for cleaning than the Regular barb fitting disconnect)
2 ball lock beer disconnects ( with same connectors as above)
3/16 beer line and clamps for all hose fittings
not sure if you have shanks, faucets and tailpeices, but if you don't you will need then as well
