But that's because I stuck with a 2.5" tower, instead of the larger ones that ship with two already.

Awesome, glad to hear it worked out for you. I went a little different and fitted the existing twist lock collar onto a new tower. I then had to drill another hole for the second tap. The drilling of the tower was a serious pain in the ass, and it's a bit of a tight fit to get both of the 90...

Hey guys, hope this isn't a dumb question. I have a Rubbermaid storage container that I use to stash most of my brewing gear. At some point in the last year or so (been away from making beer for a while) my StarSan has leaked inside of the container. It looks like it has dissolved some of the...

I didn't see a set screw that was described, as this was what I was initially looking for, but perhaps it is below the sticker as another poster said. Thanks for the input guys! Another question, does the thermostat control how long the compressor cycles on and off or is it just strictly cycled...

Hi all, I just took off the thermostat housing inside my Igloo Kegerator to see what I have to work with. I'm attaching pictures as well. I'm running a Johnson temperature controller as well. Does anyone know how to bypass a thermostat like this? My guess is just to short the black and white...

I should say I'm running ten foot overall. The majority of the run is coiled at the bottom since the change in elevation also has an effect on foaming. http://www.northernbrewer.com/connect/2011/08/balancing-draft-systems/

Did you buy 3/16" line? That's what I'm using and what most keggerator systems should use. With ten foot coiled at the bottom of the fridge, I have almost no issues with foaming at 12 PSI serving pressures.

I don't know if its a quality control issue with these compressors or if if its just a result of Walmart's terrible shipping practices. I myself had a slight dent on the side of my unit when it arrived but many people spoke of the unit being very badly dented. My compressor seems to work ok...

Thanks John. Ill look into possibly modifying the thermostat in conjunction to using a temp controller to hit lower temps when I wish.

Yup, have a second tap added but with an aftermarket tower I scored for cheap. I intend on posting pics very soon since my projects are nearly done on it. Just ran a temperature controller on the setup and have been messing around with that for a little while to determine my temp probe reading...

I just had a question concerning empty draft lines in my kegerator. If left empty, will these lines begin to pick up odors that you would normally get in refrigerators and freezers with when leaving rubber products inside? Obviously, the best solution is to fill them up with more beer, but I'm...

Thanks man, luckily I always clean like a mofo!

Hi guys, a few quick questions here. I recently had an infected batch of beer. I used a glass carboy for primary fermentation and then racked into a soda keg. Is there any special treatment I should be giving to equipment that has been exposed to a beer that has been infected (vinegar smell)...

I was wondering if its acceptable to pitch multiple yeast starters to a beer instead of adding it all at once. I had a smack pack with a lower viability than I thought it had. I ran out of time to step it up so I ran to the homebrew store to pick up another yeast starter. It's viability straight...
