Kegerator

Got some Kegerator parts for my anniversary! Hooked it up last night!

Got a couple of tap handles on order and will probably make some custom ones down the road.

Freakin sweet. Check your PM.
For everyone I haven't met, I used to live in Evansville and was a member of OVHA. After moving home to Jasper, and missing having good friends to brew with, I decided to try to start my own club. I am happy to say that I have been the president of the Dubois County Suds Club since 2006 (although I still miss my OVHA buddies)!

Got the tap handles on. They have a nifty little insert that I can put whatever label I want in there.

I bought a kegerator yesterday and I've yet to hook it up. In fact, its still in the back of my wife's Outback. I know I'm going to need to buy some extra parts in order to hook it up to cornie kegs. My question has to do with the regulator. The unit came with a single gauge regulator. Will I need a dual regulator and, if so, can I salvage the one that came with the unit? Of course, I've never kegged so this is putting the cart before the horse somewhat. Thanks.

Jeff,
The regulator with the kegerator should be just fine. You'd want to have another regulator only if you want to serve another beer at another pressure, or are force carbonating one, while serving another. To gas more than one keg at the same pressure, just put a 'T' or manifold on your line inside the kegerator.
OR load up on some fine beer, and invite some of the OVHA members over for a mid-month impromptu meeting, and we could get you set up and running! :beer4
You gonna buy one, or be one?
.....I'm gonna be one!

Eventually I'll replace the single tower with a two tapper. In the meantime, I'll use a picnic tap on the second keg. Also, is it possible to fill the 5lb CO2 canister from a 20lb canister?
