Aug 10, 2012 at 13:09 comment added jsmith Found a complete system on craigslist for $85 used. I'm thinking I may get it. Right now I can only brew to a capacity of 10 gallons. Would I be able to move my batch into the keg after fermentation without it going bad? I assume keeping C02 in the tank would prevent oxidation, but is there anything else I need to be worried about?

Aug 6, 2012 at 15:33 comment added jsmith Nice, that's actually a lot cheaper than what I was expecting. Is a 5lb tank enough for kegs of this size? Would there be any benefit (other than less refilling) if I went with, say, a 20lb tank?
