Beginner Kegging
Hi guys,
I have had a bit of a poke around on here looking for some advice and answers to my questions. Haven't had much luck so far. Maybe someone can help.
I am relatively new to brewing with about 6 months under my belt. I've had some success and some disaster, namely exploding herbal tea experiments, extremely fizzy beer and also the opposite extreme of flat beer. I have been experimenting with different extract kits as well as a few batches of wine.
I have a crude setup that I got off an older chap who hadn't used it for a while. Its sufficient, but I am growing a little tied of the bottling process, getting fed up with sediment and I'm keen to solve my carbonation issues.
Thus I am determined to switch to a kegging system, from what i have heard, this seems the likely way to solve all of my issues.
My local brew shop does not stock anything in regards to this and i am having trouble finding out what I need and how to get it.
I have been on trademe but as i don't really know what I am looking for, it's a little hard.
My aims are:
- Have the ability to have 3 kegs on the go (most likely start with 1 due to financial constraints).
- Adapt an older fridge (still to be acquired), to house these 3 kegs, with taps on the side or door.
- Possibly the ability to attempt brewing from scratch one day down the track
If anyone out there can help me out with the WHERE FROM and the HOW TO, it would be greatly appreciated.

That's exactly what i'm looking to do thanks Gary. Plus the fridge I acquired is a little to good to go drilling holes in. Some English brand but only about 5 years old. The cheapest gear I have found so far seems to be this

Just waiting on a reply to see if they will do it cheaper with a picnic tap instead of a beer gun and without the soda-stream adapter.
Thanks

Fridges tend to dehydrate anything stored in there, hence wrinkly mushrooms, not soggy ones. Your CO2 cylinder will be fine.

Hi Paul, where in the country are these cylinders you know of? Just enquiring with local testing station to see if they can convert one if I can track an old cylinder down.
