    Mounting Drip Tray to Kegerator

    I ended up only using two of the rectangular mounting magnets and then put some double sided 3M adhesive between the magnet and the freezer instead of the self-adhesive silcone tape (way way stronger). I then just used some cheap velcro to mount the drip tray to the L brackets. The way it is...

    Temperature controler

    Just make sure if you get an STC-1000 that you get the 110 V variety and not the 220 V. I have bought 2 of them for about $20 each. I picked ones shipped from the US instead of China. They are dual stage (heating AND cooling) and the cheapest thing you can find for the quality. I just...

    Caramel Apple Hard Cider

    I have made two batches of this cider and I was planning on using Fireball Whiskey for the next batch. I am going to make the caramel syrup per the recipe, but use the fireball instead of the cinnamon extract. As a side note, on a previous batch I used cinnamon oil extract (non-alcohol...

    Locally bought hop pellets smell like grass

    I bought a 5 lbs sack of pellets from a local farm 2 months ago and when I finally opened the vacuum sealed pack to make BierMuncher's Centennial Blonde, I noticed that they had absolutely no hop smell to them at all. Also the pellets are about 3 times the size of the pellets I got from...

    Help wiring pc fan for keezer

    I have no clue, but does the charger allow enough amps to start the fan? If you have a spare wall adapter (9 or 12 volt), cut that and use it to see if it powers your fans. One wire from the wall adapter will have white dashes or lines, this one is the positive lead. Attach that one to the...

    Keezer fan wiring help

    Hooking them up in series with a 24 volt supply will probably work for a little while, but you will either shorten the life of your fans or fry them right away. It is a bad idea. I think most people here would agree that connecting them in Parallel is the correct way to do this. Please see my...

    Help wiring pc fan for keezer

    For the four-wire fan, all you need is the Black wire and the Red Wire. The other two are probably just for sensing and speed control. Connect the Red wire to the positive terminal of the cell charger Connect the Black wire to the negative terminal of the cell charger On the...

    Keezer fan wiring help

    Don't wire them in series. The impedance of a fan isn't constant like a resistor, so you are NOT going to divide the voltage between them evenly. In other words, you won't see a constant 12V/12V, you'll probably see spikes upwards of 18V on a given fan and you will probably fry the fan. When...

    Keezer fan wiring help

    Run the two fans in parallel like Brumateur said so that both the fans are receiving 12 volts. The wall adapter I used for my kegerator wasn't very big (about 6 Watts), yet it was capable of supplying enough power (watts) for about five 80mmX80mm fans (they required a power in of about 1.2...

    Mounting Drip Tray to Kegerator

    I got my drip tray mounted and I am pretty happy with it. The magnets I used to attach the L-brackets to the freezer were rated for 84 lbs but I think the layer of self-adhering silicone tape I put between the magnets and the freezer per ChuckO's suggestion made all the difference (thank you...

    Mounting Drip Tray to Kegerator

    I like that idea and will definitely add that to avoid the slipping. Thanks.

    Mounting Drip Tray to Kegerator

    I am mounting my drip tray to my kegerator and I am going the all magnet route. I just bought some rectangular mounting magnets to attach two L-Brackets to the freezer and then two rectangular block magnets to attach the drip tray to the L-Brackets. Then I am using two Stainless Mounting...
