    I am building a bar and want to install two taps: one for Guinness and the other for an IPA. I don’t know much about systems. What do I need? I would like the kegerator installed under the bar. Any advice is appreciated!

    I am not a kegger so I can't answer you directly, but if you scan backward thru past threads in this forum you might get a bunch of info that will help answer your question.

    Other BA members will likely chime in with more help soon.

    I did a quick search and see what look like a lot of good options, but asking seems like a good approach

    Nitro beer isn't particularly difficult.

    Nitrogen regulator. A tank of gas that is 25% CO2/75% Nitrogen. A nitro faucet. You'll need a "U" sanke coupler for Guinness. Dispense at 30 psi more or less.

    IPA is no different than any other beer dispensed with CO2.

    Look through the many posts, you will have to thoroughly know the principles of draft beer kegerators. If you ask without having first done some troubleshooting, you're going to get blank stares.

    Cheers
