If you choked on the price check out KEG950 because essentially they do the same thing. However the mini-regulator is one the coolest products in our catalog under 1 lb as voted upon by the MoreBeer! crew. Why so cool?,,The mini-reg features total portability with all the features of a full size regulator. Basically when you put lots of features in a very small package the price goes up and this is no exception. The regulator has a range of .5-1.5 bars which equivocates to 7-21 p.s.i.. This means that unlike KEG950 that shoots in CO2 at an un-calculable amount, the mini-reg allows you precisely dial in pressure and keep it there. It utilizes its own disposable 74 gram CO2 cartridge, which is the largest size that can be shipped full. This is also a two stage mini-regulator, meaning that is takes the pressure down from 800psi to a lower pressure and then to your set pressure of around 10psi. Two stage regulators are the only way to have consistent pressure. There are now mini regulators from China that take the pressure from 800psi to 10psi but they will not maintain that pressure. One 74 gram cartridge will dispense one 5 gallon keg.,,Comes with regulator, one gas in quick disconnect and the associated hardware. 74 gram CO2 cartridges, KEG962 are available separately. Your brew buddies definitely don't have this!
