FAQ
What is a jockey box?
A jockey box is a portable draft beer dispensing system that uses a cold plate or coil to chill beer as it flows through.

What is the purpose of a CO2 tank and regulator in a jockey box setup?
The CO2 tank provides the necessary pressure for dispensing beer from a keg, while the regulator controls the flow and pressure of gas from the tank to the keg.

How do I know how much CO2 is left in my tank?
