Proper Kegging Technique

I always liked the idea of brewing beer and when I did my first batch I was exceptionally happy with the results. However bottling in a small apartment was painful and after two batches I called it a day until I'd bought a house.

Well...now I have a house.

What am I going to need to get a proper kegging operation going and what am I going to need to know? How different is the process from regular bottling? What valuable lessons from fabulous disasters has everyone learned? And what sort of fridges am I going to need to do this? Can a large dorm fridge work or do I need a full-size unit and to get comfortable with a drill and some sealing materials?

Thanks..

EC

All you really need are kegs, a CO2 tank, regulator, and proper beer and gas hoses. Sounds like you're looking at putting taps on a fridge...I didn't do that, becasue it just sounds like too much hassle between the building and the constant cleaning of the taps. I jsut put the filled kegs in a fridge and use cobra taps to dispense. Here's a a link to the best kegging info I've ever found...

They have two setups, one for refrigerator tap the other just the normal picnic "Cobra" tap. I have bought stuff from them a couple times, and they are great. Good prices and good shipping.

As for instructions, look at
