Starting Kegging Equipment

[EZFrag]

Ok. I have my kegs and fermenters. I about to buy a freezer for my keezer. I have an idea where I will be getting my CO2 tank. I was wondering about my regulator. I was wanting to have 2 kegs in my keezer for tapping. I was wondering if I need a regulator for each or is all I need is one at my CO2 tank. And If I want to transfer from fermenter to keg with co2 pressure, the will involve another tank and regulator?

Can't help with the second question regarding moving beer from your fermenter to the keg via gas, but can help you with your first question. One regulator will work just fine for serving your beer. If you have two kegs, chances are that you may need to carb one batch in one keg while serving out of the other. If that's the case, you'll actually want a dual regulator setup. This will allow you to set the pressure for your serving keg at a lower pressure compared with the keg you are carbing.

In my setup, I have a dual regulator with a 5-way splitter attached to one of the regulators. This allows me to have 5 kegs connected to the regulator set to the serving pressure and 1 keg connected to the regulator for carbing. I hope this helps!
