I'm new to kegging, picked up two 5 gal ball lock kegs off craigslist the other day. I'm on keg connection looking at my options for a kit and I'm not sure what to get for my set up (looking at the two faucet fridge kit, going SS and Perlick 630).
First, I think I want the Chudnow dual body regulator. My assumption is that with this regulator I'll be able to have two different pressure levels for my two kegs, since there are two separate gauges for PSI. Am I right in assuming this?
Second, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to choose for the shank assemblies. I'll definitely get SS, but what size? It auto selects 4 1/8". Is that what I want? Or am I reading it wrong, and it's saying 4x of 1/8"? I feel really dumb for this question. :smack:
Third, is ordering a CO2 cylinder worth it, or should I just find it locally? $65 for a 5lb seems pricey, but I haven't tried to locally source any yet. Portland, OR if that helps anyone give me advice.
And lastly, a faucet wrench. Should I bother? Is the extra $7 for the deluxe wrench worth it?
