    Side-by-Side Kegerator/Ferm Chamber

    Thanks. I like the wire shelves because they don't block any of the circulating air like a solid shelf would. I like the way you just have the angle iron, but my freezer side is wide enough that I can put bottles of beer in there also with the kegs, so I need more of a shelf. They just pull up...

    Side-by-Side Kegerator/Ferm Chamber

    So you are saying that you could only fit one pin lock keg in the freezer side? I've built 2 side-by-sides and have had room for a shelf on the bottom both times and I use ball locks and I know pin locks are shorter. That must be one short fridge. I would also recommend removing the inside...

    Boil kettle condenser - no overhead ventilation needed

    Thanks, it was just a Craigslist sale. Of course when I told SWMBO what kind of bargain it was, she just rolled her eyes! I imagined the ceiling tiles soaking up a ton of moisture like a sponge, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to also have the fan. I actually tiled the ceiling around the hood as...

    Boil kettle condenser - no overhead ventilation needed

    Thanks for your pioneering work on this @BrunDog, and for @Bobby_M making it a One Stop Shopping experience! I had already picked up this hood for $35 and really wanted to use it, so i just scaled back the fan.

    RIMS Tube and Element

    It looks to me as if that's where it was heated to make the bends when manufacturing. Maybe @Bobby_M could chime in on that one?

    Monster Chinook Leaves and Side Shoots

    This is my 3rd year Chinook (I have other varieties in the Hop Field). This thing has always produced huge leaves and now this year the side shoots are longer than my arms! While I was checking them out, I notice a bunch of Daddy Long Legs (aka Harvestmen, or Opiliones). I wasn't sure if they...

    Side by Side Fridge Conversion

    I just drilled all of the way thru the center section of plastic and foam with a drill bit the size of the bolts and used a long bolt with a nut on the other side. Put the head of the bolt on the bracket side so it doesn't stick out too far into the shelf. 2 or 3 on each L-bracket, I've never...

    How does a defrost thermostat work?

    Because when in defrost mode, you more than likely don't want to be pulling any warm air into the fridge side.

    How does a defrost thermostat work?

    I believe most of the defrost timers turn on after a specific amount of compressor run time. I've built 2 side by side kegerators and left both defrost timers intact and never had to manually defrost once since I built the 1st in 2011. The only thing you really have to worry about is hooking up...

    The "We'll fix your label for you" thread

    Here's my go at it. I just made the label oval in shape. If you need/have something else in mind, just let me know.

    Side by Side Fermenter/Keggerator

    Looking at the schematic, since you want to keep the Defrost Timer working, I would splice into the Black and White wires running to the Electronic Defrost Control (I'm assuming you are installing STC-1000's) and attach the Black (hot) to terminal #1 and the White (neutral) to terminal #2 to...

    The "We'll fix your label for you" thread

    Bryan, here's what I came up with for the Beer Can label. The logo is a couple of posts back.
