    Spike CF5 vs Brewbuilt X1 Unti-Tank

    Yes the Spike coil should fit.

    Spike CF5 vs Brewbuilt X1 Unti-Tank

    Ambient was 66-67. I was able to drop the temp about 27 degrees down to 39 before stalling. Unless I’m doing something terribly wrong, I’d say no chance, especially with anything larger than the 7 gallon version.

    Shawn's Basement Keezer Bar Build

    Yes, I put a small block of 3/4 inch PVC board in the gap and drilled a 3-inch hole through that as well. This way it was fully sealed. I then sealed the hole with aluminum duct tape for moisture and insulation.

    Shawn's Basement Keezer Bar Build

I was a little skeptical myself however I decided to give it a shot after putting a lot of my weight on it while in the open position (some real scientific testing). My lid prob weighs around 40-45 pounds or so. I did end up adding two 47lb rated gas struts and...

    Shawn's Basement Keezer Bar Build

    I was looking for a different kind of keezer build. I would say my end result is probably not your typical keezer. While it’s certainly a keezer, it’s more of a bar to be honest, which is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a walk-behind bar that could also serve as a tabletop with seating...

    Plumbers aren't cheap in the northeast! call around who knows, you may get a better deal. it's just not something I wanted to cheap out on. I will say my install was on the simpler side. They had relatively easy access to everything they needed above or below them. They were able to connect...

    Electric Kettle Rims Basement Brewery Setup

    Sounds awesome - and thanks man, much appreciated. I think it will depend on location for plumbing rates but here is the breakdown. (I'm in the Boston area). The sink itself was around $200. I went with an NSF approved sink which costs more. The faucet was around $220. You'll want to ensure...
