All- I always find so much help and experience on this site... I hope someone can give me some advice. I'd like to get into kegging after doing this for long enough with bottles. I'd be looking at doing 5 gallon batches at the most. A couple of questions:
1 can I do a 3 gallon batch in a 5 gallon keg or will I have issues with that?
2 I'm considering just doing a refrigerator with a picnic tap. How would this be http://www.cornykeg.com/catalog.asp?prodid=688453&showprevnext=1http://www.cornykeg.com/catalog.asp?prodid=688453&showprevnext=1.
3 also considering the ease of a kegorator. How would this be. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Kegorator-Beer-Dispenser-Mini-Barrel/5679263.
The bonus is that it includes a regulator and 2.5 gallon co2 tank (obviously going to plan on upgrading the tank fairly quickly).
4 finally, is there a major difference between ball and pin lock kegs if I'm just doing the homebrew route? Thanks!
