It's been a long time coming. First, someone gave me 4 cornies (a long time ago). Then, months later, I bought a couple ventmatic faucets when there was a great deal on eBay. Months after that, I bought a 2-tap tower when AHS had a sale on them. Then, last week, I ordered the rest of the equipment from kegconnection.com and bought the 4912 from Best Buy:
Over the weekend, I installed the tower (what a PITA) and cleaned the kegs really well. My dual regulator, beer lines, o-rings and disconnects arrived in the mail yesterday---one of the dials on the regulator had been broken in shipment, but luckily, I had scored a single regulator along with the co2 tank in a craigslist score, so I just swapped out that dial and got to work---the replacement dial should be in the mail.
I racked the Steffiweizenbock and Hobbled Goblin into sanitized (and lubed) kegs, and put them on 35psi. Now all I do is wait...
Bottles on the left, kegs on the right. So much beer!
The door still won't close if I leave those shelves in there---I think it's because the dual regulator is so long, because when I had the tank and single regulator in there, the door closed okay with the shelves. No worries, not like I need the shelves anyway. So as soon as the force-carbing is done---tomorrow night maybe---I should be able to pull my first pint!
Now I just need a drip tray (waiting for the long ones at AHS to go on sale again!) and we're good to go. Special thanks to buford for his excellent pictorial instructions on the conversion, and to ohiobrewtus for helping me understand how to work this contraption...
