I'm considering getting into kegging my homebrew, since washing 22 oz bottles every few weeks is starting to get tedious. I'd like to do this as cheaply as possible, so I've been trolling eBay for kegs to try and get a deal.
I've got a bunch of questions about how I should go about this:
1. Ball lock or pin lock -- Does it matter?
2. Am I correct in assuming that I can buy a CO2 tank and regulator from a welding supply shop for much cheaper than I can online?
3. Beyond the kegs and the CO2, what else will I need to buy (disconnects, hoses, etc)? What is the best (read: least expensive) place to buy these things?
4. Are there any online references for the kegging process?
5. Any tips/suggestions/gotchas that you can mention to help me along?
Thanks in advance!
