If I was thinking about a basic keg system using my existing spare fridge what equipment would I need? Corny keg and a tap through the fridge door.
And 1 more bit of advice, an over carbonated beer can can pour (roughly) half head half beer and the beer will appear to be flat, but this is still overcarbed.Ciderman said:Excuse me for not wanting go read through 158 pages but...

Very good point. My mates kegging setup is everything above but instead of taps just has a few of these resting in his keezer.Liam_snorkel said:to add to phoenixdigital's post - if you can't afford decent taps first up - save your cash and use a plastic bronco tap in the meantime. They pour really well and will still come in handy for keg cleaning & party setups once you have your good taps.
I know not what I do, apart from planning 10 kegs on tap. I have 2 cobra fonts (1 each side of the gold T-font).Cocko said:11 kegs I count... R U fkn Syria? Fark mate, awesome.
I love you right now!Les the Weizguy said:I know not what I do, apart from planning 10 kegs on tap. I have 2 cobra fonts (1 each side of the gold T-font).
Bought some brand-spanking new Andale connectors, and Mark (MHB) sponsored me a gift of a 6-way gas connector with check valves.
Also bought these taps on eBay recently

and currently trying to source a gas cylinder (as my F-size bottle ran out and was returned to the parent company).
Coming together slowly.
Gonna need a bigger font.....Les the Weizguy said:
Excellent information, thank you. So on taps, can you recommend something? I assume the Craftbrewer tap you posted at $89 is a cheapy, what sort of price for something decent. I only want one tap at this stage, I don't drink enough beer (yet).phoenixdigital said:At a bare minimum what you want is

I would recommend not skimping on taps. If you buy a cheap ebay one you will likely end up with no manner of foaming issues.
Secondly for starters make your beer line at least 3m in length or again you will get foaming issues. When you are more comfortable with kegging you can start looking into balancing your beer lines.
Just some tips to save you a world of annoyance for your first time into kegging.
You sniper. <_<Les the Weizguy said:

Might be worth saying where you are so people might be able to recommend a good local source where you can see some options, buy the gear etc. if not maybe check out the website of a site sponsor and then give them a call. Every one of the site sponsors I've dealt with have been incredibly helpful and knowledgable about the products they sell, but not all will carry what you're after.Ciderman said:Excellent information, thank you.

You tight-arse. $5 more and you would have had those taps.timmyf said:You sniper. <_<
