Thanks guys. I believe my trunk line is around 25ft long total. It's 3/8"x1/2" micromatic line. I was/am a bit worried about line pressure etc. My batch hasn't fully carbed yet, and I havent' played with pressure (sitting at around 12PSI right now). So far it's good with the flow control...

A quick update. Just filtered/kegged my first homebrew batch in almost a year. The beer is OK, the tap is great!

One step at a time :D Actually, my next step is to somehow rig up a "removeable" drip tray with rinser. I don't want to cut any more holes in the counter, so we'll see...

I did a bunch of searching/research here before I did this, so I figured I'd post in case someone finds what I've done useful. Here are the parts: -Simple chrome dual-tower w/ heat exchanger etc -Perlick 545PC faucets -2 line beer trunk line -Used 5000BTU AC unit (kijiji, $40) -Coleman "party...

I've thought about putting beer taps in my kitchen for a while now, but assumed SWMBO would outright deny it. Well last week I ran the idea past her via email with a picture, and she said "Yeah, that'd be cool!" :tank: So anyway, now I'm real excited. Been reading a few threads here...

Just in the planning stages now. I just sold off all my darkroom equipment so the funds are there, I just have to take my time :) I have a 7cf freezer I think... some old "hotpoint" thing. Will fit 3 kegs comfortably, possibly a co2 bottle, not sure yet. It doesn't need a collar. Anyway, I...

Well I started this thread looking to ID my regulator, but I already found that info so now I'm just posting about a good deal I found :) Good story here: Was planning on buying copper tube tonight to make a immersion chiller. Hardware store by my place didn't have any 3/8 longer than 10ft, so...

I'm using a USB Bitwhacker and an off the shelf python library for another project... Pretty powerful, and cheap!

Are you going to cool the "hot" side of the peltier?

Just to follow up, here's what I decided to go with: http://morebeer.com/view_product/20653//Kent_Shut-Off_QD_Set_-_Soda_Bottle_Cap http://morebeer.com/view_product/5676//Plate_Filter http://morebeer.com/view_product/5735//Beer_and_Wine_Filter_Pad_Sterile_-_Pack_of_Two_

I'm not sure... I make bread and homemade dough without problem. I've also tried many types of beer, only those brewed in-bottle give me a problem. Wine is fine too.

Hello all, I'm a beer lover, my dad always homebrewed and thanks to his snobbery I steered clear of the common swill and was spoiled with good stuff. Now I want to start brewing my own, as I'm getting too cheap to spend $18 on 6 cans of Red Racer IPA every few days :P However, I've...
