What am I missing????

[mcfarlandp]

I am planning on making the jump to kegging here shortly; I have been a loyal NB customer thus far and would like to remain so however their "basic" kegging system is around $130 but does not include the co2 tank; I came across this at the kegconnection for $134 http://stores.kegconnection.com/Detail.bok?no=426 What is missing in this kit? Here is the NB kithttp://http://www.northernbrewer.com/brewing/kegging/draft-systems/five-gallon-keg-system-used-keg.html

The NB kit does not have a co2 tank. Is the keg connection legit? Also, if I plan no more than two kegs at a time; how long would a 2.5# co2 tank last?

Any help/comments would be greatly appreciated.

I'm happy with my kegconnection setup. No worries there!! If you can swing it get a big CO2 tank. You'll make up the extra cost in CO2 refill savings. Cheers!!!

Maybe they dont want to include the CO2 tank so you can customize that portion and like mentioned above, get a bigger tank if room allows

First, the Kc kit has a 5 lb bottle. Second, KC just has a better price on their kits. Maybe because they are more specialized. #5 of CO2 is good for 4-8 batches.

The local place I have for C02 just did a swap of the tank. So I paid for a new shiny co2 tank but first fill needed to swap it out for a used tank... Swap was $11... they said if they certified the tank and filled it would be close to $50. and I'd need to come back for the tank. If you can find a used CO2 tank, you'll be better off.
