Title: Regulator for a corny keg
Post by: cunnol on April 15, 2016, 06:04:15 PM
So I just purchased my first ball lock corny keg (well three to be exact)

Here's the kit I've bought

Kegs

Disconnect

Adaptors

Tubing

I'll be picking up the co2 cylinder on Monday so think the only thing left to get would be the regulator.
Would the following do the job and would I need the 4mm adaptor along with it?

Any advice would be very much appreciated plus any extra tips for a complete novice like myself.
Cheers!

That regulator is a good price Cunnol, it looks like it couldl do the job. It looks like the SWP-2047 that I have seen other people use and I was thinking of purchasing.

The HBC are out of reqs and won't have them for another month.

This is another one I was looking at, but it is more expensive.

Really good guide on kegging

Could an experienced kegger review the requlators and see if they are fit for purpose ?
