So just finished this tonight. Still some finishing touches to go, and i only have two kegs, but its definitely a step in the right direction.

Just got my stuff in the mail yesterday. (sorry about the grainy pic)

unfortunately, they made a mistake and left my 5lb tank off of the order (it's being shipped to me now)
full keg system to come soon

yessir.

The plan is to use the black 20oz cyl, the single-body regulator, and the 3gal as a portable system.

Jmac00 · Post by **Jmac00** » Tue Feb 08, 2011 9:45 am

will be a good system for sure....i'd love a 3gal or two but they're so damn expensive. Seen a few for cheap on craigslist though in maine, but not going down anytime soon.

if anyone's going through and picks this up and wants to split up a few things...i'd be interested

Jmac00 - I have another question about your kegerator. What size shanks did you use for your taps?

Jmac00 · Post by **Jmac00** » Tue Feb 08, 2011 10:26 am

the ones i got were from other purchases i did, and these were included. Two of them are about 4.5" and one is like 8" or so. I have one that i have to still install, and its about 3.5".

I couldn't see any pics, and got confused as to how many kegs there are. Might be worth a roadtrip, but not in this weather.

i wouldnt mind a couple 3gal ones, perfect size for half batches. (which is what i usually make)

I will post a pic of the inside when I am home tonight. The tank is currently sitting on the inside lip over the motor. Worked out well for space

there's no pics...and yes, its confusing...i've emailed a few times with no reply...of course i could call the numbers but won't til i'm able to grab em or something. They were originally listed for $200.

As promised. Its a little messy at the moment, plan to clean it out again when I put a third keg in. Am also thinking I will need a new regulator

Jmac00 · Post by **Jmac00** » Tue Feb 08, 2011 11:10 pm

Looks good...what's wrong with your regulator?

JEH · Post by **JEH** » Tue Feb 08, 2011 11:34 pm

Nothings wrong with it. I just want with with three separate gauges for each line coming out. Right not I have just split the one line split into two, so would be nice if i could control the carbonation separatley for each keg. Its possible the piece i need is not the regulator but something else.

Jmac00 · Post by **Jmac00** » Tue Feb 08, 2011 11:41 pm

aaahhh ok...secondary regulators. Basically just a regulator body with the top gauge...then attach them to each other via a coupler and make a bank of regs. That's the route i'm taking as well...already got the regs...just need to find some couplers...left hand thread is not the easiest to find locally.

Here's a pic of my kitchen fridge!

My place is pretty small so I didnt want to take up any real estate with an extra fridge. Its slightly ghetto but... its 2 different cold beers on tap.
I modified the dip tubes so they reach into the bottom corner of the kegs ( kegs dispense clear brew right down to 200mL).

Eventually I will get a proper kegerator but for now this seems pretty ideal to get started with.

LOL. I can just imagine what my wife would say

I was saying to Chris when I picked up my kegs last week that this is all just an experiment to find out when she screams "STOP!" I already know that putting two kegs in the bottom of her fridge is past the limit!

Jmac00 · Post by **Jmac00** » Sun Feb 13, 2011 6:08 pm

she would barely notice a 2.5 or 3 gallon keg...could hide it behind some bread or milk cartons..lol

That's awesome.

the kegerator lives!!!!!!!!!!

took my bar fridge, and replaced the door shelves with a piece of aluminum-poly-aluminum.

The 5lb and dual-body reg fits perfectly.

Fridge holds two corneys (barely)... I'm just using a couple picnic faucets for now, but I can see myself replacing that set-up with a two-tap tower within the next few years.
