Well primary fermentation had kicked off last night before 4 (which is when I felt it was cool enough to remove from the kegerator). Today I woke up to a happy bubbling better bottle. So far everything looks healthy and smells correct, so I just might have lucked out. Thanks guys.

So I was making my first lambic today (I decided to go with the Steve Piatz recipe) and it was crazy hot outside. I got everything done but I couldn't get the wort down below 120 or so (good old texas). So I figured that since I was throwing in another 2.5 gallons that I didn't boil...

I just need to insulate the pvc, throw on the back, and then make the side walls. It's not perfect, but it'll do. :rockin:

prices jumped up $20 on most kits and the cheap shipping option went away. oh well, that's what I get for waiting to pull the trigger.

This question is for those of you that have built one of these systems. I am planning on using one of these to convert a freezer to a kegerator and was wondering what the sensitivity is on the unit. Will it be constantly turning my compressor on and off or does it not kick on until it breaks...

I don't have "little ones" yet, but I do have 2 dogs. That's why I'm going with the coffin and not the collar design. I am fighting off the urge to go with the picnic taps to start out. I assume that if I start with them, I'll have no motivation to ever buy and install real taps.
