| − | What do you need to begin?
| |
| − | Obviously you need a keg. Kegs are available used, refurbished or new. See [[Buying kegs]].
| |
| − | Also you will need:<br>
| |
| − | -hoses (how much hose? what kind of hose? balancing info)<br>
| |
| − | -quick disconnects (both a gas in and beer out)<br>
| |
| − | -CO<sup>2</sup><br>
| |
| − | -picnic tap<br>
| |

| − | Now, how are you going to get that beer cold? There are a couple ways to solve the problem. You could counter pressure fill a bunch of bottles, run the beer through a chiller, stick the keg in a tub of ice, or build a keggerator. Bottling off the keg is a good answer if you want filtered, bottled beer. Using a chiller or ice bath is good for partys (or AA meetings). But if you want several beers on tap all the time; you want a keggerator.

| − | A kegerator is simply a refrigerator for keeping your kegs. It can be as simple as a regular fridge with space for a keg or as elaborate as BrewPastor's.
