First time posting here! Awesome site with tons of information, so thanks to everyone.
I used to bottle my beer but now I have a spare fridge and went and bought a 20lb C02 tank, couple of corny kegs. I am overwhelmed with all the information out there so looking for some help in getting the right equipment and parts for a dual tap system (for now, but I will upgrade to more taps later).
What I have currently?
- 2 5gallon corny kegs
- 1 20lb CO2 tank
- purchased Micro Matic 842-2-PP regulator (on the way)
Thinking of getting
- CMB barbed end ball lock disconnect for gas
- CMB 1/4" ball lock disconnect for liquid
- 1/4" to 5/16" swivel nut for the liquid QD
- brass barbed nipple 1/4" MPT X 5/16" barb
- Red gas hose 5/16 ID, 9/16 OD - 24' for two lines and some extra (is this a lot?)
- EVABarrier (Not sure what size diameter or length) - I heard 10ft per beer line is recommended. Is that right?
I want to go with Duotight fittings with the EVABarrier but I am not sure which one to get and the number considering my setup.
I have decided to keep my CO2 tank outside and drill two holes for the two gas lines so that I have enough room to add additional kegs in the future. I know I need the shanks, taps and handles. Any recommendations on what size to purchase? Any think else I may be missing?
Thank you!
