So you want to start kegging your beers, good it's about time.
What do you need to begin?
Obviously you need a keg. Kegs are available new (make list of vendors of new kegs) or refurbished (like wise with refurbished).
Also you will need:
-hoses (how much hose? what kind of hose? balancing info)
-quick disconnects (both a gas in and beer out)
-CO2
-picnic tap
