Congrats on the step forward. I used my cobra taps for about a year before installing the tower on my fridge. Would suggest picking up a third corny (trust me... you'll want it) when you buy your other items. Also, get a regulator that has two low pressure guages. Here is a link to where I picked up my set. I thought it was pretty reasonable after all of the extensive research I did (and adding a third keg to the bill didn't add much). I have not had one problem with this setup. Here is the link to Midwest Supplies for the setup I got. Since you already have two kegs, you can look at one of their other packages and the price will go down. I would suggest calling to actually place the order. Oh, and don't forget to have them toss in some keg lube too. Comes in handy.And on the seventh day he said "Let there be draft beer in thine house."I have taken the first steps to starting my beer fridge/kegerator. I moved my GF down from gainesville and we brought back her old fridge. Its a lovely shade of olive green circa 1965. It had been sitting outside for about a year so I cleaned it up on Sunday and let it air dry. I moved a bunch of stuff around in the garage and plugged it in, the compressor started and as of this morning is cooling down nicely. The only thing I might do is replace the seal around the doors because it doesn't always seat correctly. I have two corny kegs to use for homebrew, so now all I need is gas, reg, taps, and lines. I will add pictures later and update this thread as I get more stuff, I can't afford it all at once right now.Cheers,Rich

CraigslistBad news. The fridge stopped working last nightish. It was plugged into an outlet with a breaker and it kept setting it off. I tried one without a breaker and it still wouldn't turn on. The fridge was about 45 years old and had spent the last 8 months outside on my girfriends carport. Luckily, I did not have any homebrew left in it. So no ruined beer.I guess its back to the drawing board.-Rich

Homebrew law: you can never have too many cornies.Would suggest picking up a third corny (trust me... you'll want it) when you buy your other items.

+1 while I agree with that statement I say this:Homebrew Law: You can never have too many freezers. I have 4 and wish I had a fifth so buy two off of CL and you will be ready to rock and roll for sure.Homebrew law: you can never have too many cornies.

sounds like a mythbusters episodeI would definitely put that tank on the ground. If it ever falls, you may have a rocket.
