Hey guys, I'm COMPLETELY new to kegs, and I want to get a beer kegged and carbed by next weekend, which means that I need to order my fittings and stuff today.
Currently, I have the keg and a 20lb CO2 tank.
If I may ask, what kind of fittings are these and what all do I need to carb/dispense? I mean <b>everything</b>. I have to place the order today.
I know I need a regulator, tubing, and disconnects. Is that all I will need? If so, what else?
 
Sorry, here's the pic.
I'm crazy stressed and going out of my mind today.

You have a pin-lock keg. You need to make sure you get pin-lock specific disconnects. In addition to regulartor, tubing and disconnects, you will also need some kind of tap.
 
I actually got this keg from Zac, good guy.
I also have another 4 that I plan on filling up as soon as I can. :D

Pin lock, okie dokie, that helps. Is all the tubing a standard size or is there a specific size I will need? (man I'm a newb)
Also, should I get barbed or threaded disconnects?

Thanks!
 
You want the pin lock gas and liquid disconnects....I'd go with barbed, you don't need hose clamps if you have the right size hose. Get gas line, (not sure what type, experts chime in here?), and about 6-8 ft of 3/16th inch beer line, (not just regular tubing, you want beverage grade, so you dispense without foam). You'll need a tap...a picnic or cobra tap is cheap and easy, (plastic tap you get on all store bought keg taps).


Enjoy!
 
Ok, I figured it out and got my order put in.
I was going to order from Brewmaster's Warehouse, but they can't sell to other Georgians. o_O
Bizzare. We do have some weird laws down here, I must say. At least we can homebrew legally!
 
I prefer the threaded ends to the connectors. Easy to remove and clean without
the worries of a line coming off.
