Kegging Setup

[Darren Wood]

Hi all,

I'm about to make the transition into kegging and I'm getting all my ducks in a row. I've made a shopping list of all the things I think I need – would love your thoughts/feedback on it – a sanity check, if you will...

Thanks!

List looks good but what do I know, I still bottle, start kegging next year, I did however start a thread here about kegging so there may be some useful info here if you search it up? Good luck!

More beer line, 1.5m per beer tap minimum, recommend 2m, need enough to balance the pressure and therefore get a good pour, 1m for each co2 in, then depending on setup enough to get from the reg to the manifold, so 8-10 meters
I would get a three way manifold too, two serving one conditioning,

I ended up using 4mm beer line. Taps on fridge door, lines 2m long. Reg set at 76kpa temp 5c.

Micromatic regulator is good but I changed the low pressure gauge to larger diameter and less pressure than the one supplied to make it easier to set pressure within a couple of kpa.
I used all barbs wish I had used John guest now that I've got things sorted
