I'd really like to get off the bottling. I have a number questions I could use help with. I searched the current forums without too much luck, and I tried to sort through the archives, but they really are hard to navigate. For starters:
CO2 - What are the best places to get CO2 refills? Can I buy tanks from the refillers? I was thinking it would be good to have one 20 lb for home and a 10 lb for backup and road trips. I hear I could get CO2 refill from welding supply store or fire extinguisher stores - would these be OK to use? What brands of regulators should I look for, or avoid? I'd like to be able to have two different pressures available. Does it matter if I did a Single primary regulator with secondary regulator? Or dual primary?
Keg - Pretty sure I want to go with 5 gal. ball lock, mostly because seem to be more common. Are the Plastic tap fittings OK or should I go stainless tap fittings?
Thanks for your help.
