    Low Carbonation

    Speed is perhaps slower than normal, but not by much. The thing that concerned me was it looking flat with almost no head, even though it doesn’t taste flat…yet.

    Low Carbonation

    Haha always a good point. But yes, I checked that first.

    Low Carbonation

    No, but it was doing this before that second keg tapped out. (The other keg was fine - if anything it was over-carbonated)

    Low Carbonation

    Correct. I am running a Great Lakes Double IPA.

    Low Carbonation

    Does anyone know why a beer would have low carbonation when the co2 levels are reading normal? My new diy kegerator is on its second set of kegs. Everything poured as expected on round one. I cleaned the lines and tapped a double IPA on the one and left the second empty keg in there as I haven’t...

    Insulating Your Hole Properly

    This sounds like a solid solution - albeit a more permanent one. Will this be a chore when lines need replaced? Also thinking that with two beer lines and a two co2 lines, I might not have a ton of room to work with this unless I make the main hole larger.

    Insulating Your Hole Properly

    I have an Inkbird ITC-308. I’m not sure what you’re referring to with the compressor delay. I have my temp set to 32° with my “Cd” set to 2°.

    Insulating Your Hole Properly

    I ended up putting the probe inside a can filled with water sitting on the bottom inside a koozie. Definitely better now since the temp doesn’t drop ten degrees as soon as the door is opened. But now I’ve noticed it often stays in cooling mode even when the target temp is reached. If I unplug it...

    Added a collar to my kegerator

    I am considering doing this. How did you get the magnetic seal from the door to attach to the wood?

    Kegerator Capacity Adjustment

    Brilliant idea! Thanks!

    Insulating Your Hole Properly

    Not using picnic taps lol. The kegerator sits in my crawlspace and the lines run to the taps, which are mounted in a recessed cutout I built on the wall of my bar.

    Kegerator Capacity Adjustment

    I have a Sanyo 4912 that I converted into a kegerator recently. Currently two 1/6th barrels fit snuggly inside; however, I had always planned on putting a slim 1/4 and a 1/6 keg in there. Now I am considering the possibilities to still make this happen. Would it be possible to shave 1” of...

    Insulating Your Hole Properly

    Aside from the placement of the probe, why do you call it jank?

    Insulating Your Hole Properly

    Haha mission accomplished!

    Insulating Your Hole Properly

    Thank you for your responses. Here are some photos for additional context. The hole drilled was approximately 1 1/4 inch in diameter to accommodate the co2 and beer lines. The probe is hanging near the top of the kegs/beer lines.
