My kegerator is in my garage, and this summer it's been pretty hot. I'd say continuous 80's/90's. So I have a relatively new keezer with a 2x8 collar (3x stained and eurathaned (sp?). I also added a 1/2" rigid foam insulation around the collar. BUT my keezer still cycles on and off too often...

What type of thermal mass would you suggest?

I currently use a STC1000 temperature controller with the temperature lead in a plastic water bottle. Lately my kegerator has been cycling about every 3 or 4 hours. I have a low power fan at the top of the keezer for some air circulation. Everytime I open up the lid to check on condensation...

I've had my kegerator with 2 lines for about 8 months and just added a 3rd. I have never cleaned them beside cycling through star san. How (parts) did you make that pump DanH?

Yea, i actually just bought a good water hose (literally a second ago). Hopefully that and gypsum will help. I have silicone tubing.

I am pretty new to All-grain, and two out of three of my first batches were pitched. My last one is not terrible, but i often find that is has an off taste at the end. I have even noticed this in a local breweries Golden Ale. Right now I use a Camco RV Water filter on my garden hose, and I...

Did they run out of the tan model. Is the black China model the same thing?

Much to her chagrin, my wife is allowing me to ask for beer equipment for my birthday. Currently have a 9 gallon kettle with sight glass and valve plus a 10 gallon round rubber maid mash tun. I have another 40 quart aluminum pot used for HLT or use in transferring and finally I have a little...

I second that. Now the bidding starts at 1 March Pump...lol. I bought a 6 pack with two buddies to share. I tasted one bottle with another brewer because its a rare beer. I did the same with a DFH 120 Min that I picked up while touring the brewery. I basically have shared all my rare...

Anyone had dealings with selling/shipping beer. I tried a bottle and probably would like to sell the other bottle I have remaining. Ebay does not allow, so how does one legally go about selling/shipping beer abouts.

I am not speaking ill of either, but USER ERROR lead to what is likely a watery beer. I have a 10 gallon rubbermaid MLT and a 10 gallon kettle. This was my first adventure in All Grain with my equipment. I bought Beersmith, but could not seem to get a good handle on how much water. I...

I have been scouring Craigslist, but can't find any for a decent price. I am hoping to make a keggle, but I can't find the kegs.

I used the Bargain Fittings kit on my Home Depot 10 gallon round cooler. The valve is water proof and can open and close easily. But I can spin it if I pull too hardly on it. Am I doing something wrong?

How is this working. I bought an 90 deg elbow without the street, and I am starting to worry that i will have the valve up to high. I want to give myself enough room for protecting the valve against heat and also that I can possible get fit in a pickup tube later on. I was curious to how...

Wish I did the 90 street instead of 90 elbow, but maybe adding a hose barb could work. I may just find a temp solution until my next order for you guys.
