    Ask and you will receive! I went ahead and made my first ever YouTube video. This is an overview and display of how my rinser and soda water tap are working for me. No audio at this time, but you'll easily get the picture. I'm happy to answer questions, maybe they will be incorporated into the...

    Yes, I'm very happy with both the rinser and carbonated water on tap. I don't run either it at any different pressure (~11psi @ 37F = ~2.5Vols) than my kegs.They both run off the same corny and I use a simple tee to split them. The rinser has plenty of spray and does exactly what is expected. If...

    My coleman 70 quart extreme copper mash tun

    It appears that I used a 1 1/2" long threaded on each end pipe. I also reused the cooler's plastic seal. looks a little dirty in the picture. Note the 4 washers needed for standing off the cooler. If I recall, those are SS washers, and I bought them at Fastenal because they are the only ones who...

    My coleman 70 quart extreme copper mash tun

    My general parts list is in post #16. If you're not familiar with Shark fittings, they are quick push to connect plumbing fittings. They have a key that can be used to release the connection. Home Depot sells them. This particular part might be the right one for your settup, it might not. The...

    Juic, Here are three measurements for you... From wooden top (yet to add tile) to tap centerline 13 3/16" From Drip Tray to tap centerline 12 5/16" From Drip Tray to faucet bottom 10 3/4". This is where I feel a pitcher needs to be able to fit, which it does comfortably. The...

    Keezer air manifold advice

    After reading jcaudill's post, it became clear to me that we all have different CO2 system configurations in mind when it comes to regulators, lines, and manifolds. Throw Primary vs. Secondary into the mix, and now you have your hands full of terms too. I'll try to clarify some specifics so you...

    Keezer air manifold advice

    I would suggest you start with two regulators, one for Ales & Lagers, and a second for seasonal beers. If you will have Wheats or higher carbonated beers at the same time as Stouts/Porters, then you would need a third regulator to support the 3 different preasures. I persoanly use a seasonal...

    That is a to be designed item. It's larger than I can hide behind and still be close to the wall. Now using an actual fire extinguisher cabinet might be cool. :)

    Tony's Keezer Build

    Well your questions and pings have kicked me back into gear, thanks for that. I mentioned recently that I'm going through some what I've learned and how I can redesign. One of the things I have found myself fighting is tubing and CO2. Origionally, my approach was to keep my CO2 tank inside of...

    Thanks for trying to Pimp the thread. The progress has been a little slow recently, but there are a couple of new things. 6 taps are now operational, one dedicated to soda water. That has been really nice throughout the summer to have for those midday flavored waters. After having the keezer...

    My coleman 70 quart extreme copper mash tun

    I followed the same basic approach of the 10 Gallon Mash Tun thread. Basically, a value, SS washers, pipe nipple, rubber washers, some plumbers rope, more SS washers, and a Shark fitting pipe to slip. I can get more details for these, but the delay in my reply might have come too late for you...

    My coleman 70 quart extreme copper mash tun

    I strongly suggest not soldering, I have not had any problems, and it works great. Once you disassemble the manifold for the first time cleaning you'll understand why. Logic tells me that holes don't let in nearly as much funk compared to slits and there was a fair bit of grain particulate. I...

    Cheap & Easy 10 Gallon Rubbermaid MLT Conversion

    Some of us did... Using just the O-ring solo is crap, and will leak into the guts of the cooler. That will be a hot mess long term.
