I just bought a setup from scratch from brewkegtap, owner was very helpful, checked over the list of items I was ordering to validate that I would have a working system. Had a minor problem with one of the kegs he replaced it immediately, would recommend.
 
Santa is bringing me a transfer kit for the conical this year, with a view to buying Kegs around March (my birthday).

I don't have a LHBS anymore, so where does one buy Co2 canisters for kegging?
 
Will 19l kegs work with soda stream cylinders?
Yeah, but it's a hella 'spensive to do it. If you wanted to force carb and serve you'd get about 3 kegs out of the bottle if you went for 2 vols of co2. If you were just using it to serve you do about 100 litres.

If you want the calcs for funsies every vol of co2 is 1.96 grams. And if your beer finished fermenting at 20c you'd have 0.86 vols of co2 already in it - say you wanted 2.1 vols of co2 in the beer:

g to carb = vol beer * 1.96 * (co2 vols reqd - residual co2) = 19 * 1.96 * (2.1 - 0.86) = 46g

g to serve = vol beer * co2 vols reqd * 1.96 = 78g

For the entire total = vol beer * 1.96 * (2 * co2 vols reqd - residual co2)

This is presuming the beer is the same volume as your keg.
 
I get my gas from sellers, £10 for a new bottle filled! Didn’t even want a deposit. They never asked what I wanted it for, I just walked in off the street.
