Corny set up advice

[Stephenj]

I've managed to source very well priced co2 so looks like I'm going to take the plunge. Think I'm going to get this, other than somewhere to store it is there anything else on top of this that I desperately need straight away to get going? Cheers.

Standard Keg Kit with Deluxe Party Tap

I can't think of anything else! You'll love it, cornies are lifechanging IMO.

 

[Stephenj]

Additional corny is 55 quid, so gonna bung one of those on the order as well. They are multiplying before I've even received the first one

 

[nixhaz]

Yeah, I just realised I can fit a 10L one on top of my 19L ones. I foresee another 3 minimum in my future!

Ditch the party tap (they are slow and ****) and get a flow control tap that connects directly to the post. You can get them from various outlets but I got mine at DarkFarm.com. Ask @Gareth Davies nicely and he might give you a discount for being a HBF member. For about £20, you won't regret it.

I' just bought one but with the tap that fits directly on the post, New tall fridge arriving Monday.

If you want more kegs TheHomeBrewCompany have 3 recon 19l for £155, but I bought 3 19l of their none refurbed ones and 3 seal kits for £1.50 each the kegs were £120 for 3 a bargain and to be honest never needed the new seal, but as I bought them I fitted them but they were ok

From the same place?

Not the same place as you, no. It was a Deluxe keg starter kit

Apologies if a silly question but can't find an obvious answer on the net. Does the flow control intertap fit straight on to the post disconnect that the beer line would attach to or do you need a specific one?

 

[Geoffinthewilds]

It fits onto a shank and you fit a JG (John Guest) fitting, will go take a pic of mine for you now

Eventually I'll have a proper keezer set up but not the space at the moment. Cheers for input.

Good luck with the keezer build, think I killed my kegerator yesterday?, drilled through the side to fit a wooden shelf and the fridge seems to go no lower than 6c, dam, so if its dead will convert it to a Fermentation Fridge and probably build a keezer myself
