thanks for the advice! Saved me some headache and coinage!

Here is what the finished keezer build looks like: , Does anyone know if it would be smart to use a 1/4" to 3/16" adapter for the lines? My ball locks and taps are all 1/4" (and the taps do not have an interchangeable back end to change out the size of the line). There is a huge length...

That's the one I used just recently. I was introduced to it on some youtube channel I was watching, looked at it, and bookmarked it. Man it made things simple, just plug the numbers in and go. I am starting to rethink / regret going with 1/4" lines, but too late now at this point.

Interesting that you said that. I have cut holes in the foam to have air flow and take care of the heat / cold zones. I wonder if I need to add more 2" holes than these. I figure the main beer lines will go through the 4" holes in the center of the doors. I plan on routing the temp sensor to...

Speaking of unsightly lines, I wanted to keep everything inside of the keezer, and wanted some hidden compartments (my favoite part of this build). I had some 12" hinges on hand, which I cut them in half with a hacksaw and cut a few pieces of foam that would fit the openings. I grabbed 6...

So I have a Frigidaire chest freezer that has been sitting up down in my basement holding all of my bottles of beer and hops /yeast for a few years. The inside of the freezer was starting to rust, so I decided to clean it out. When I took the top off of it, I got hit with an epiphany. I have...

Oh man thanks! I highly appreciate the info. I'm trying to have everything laid out and ready to go first before I start building the keezer out. Thank you kindly.

Greetings, I'm completely new to kegging and decided to just go in whole hog and convert one of my chest freezers into a keezer. I have a Frigidaire Model FFC15C3AW2 15.6 Cu Ft. 'Commercial' freezer that I am currently using for a fridge for my bottles. My apologies if this has been hashed...

Exactly. Well put seatazzz. I keep a brewers journal in a hand made and bound book that my buddy got me for christmas. I record everything from initial temperatures, water source, PH's, all the OG/FG info, what hops I used, etc., to what music I was listening to, and what my daughter did to...

Lots of good advice here, I'll try to answer your questions: Sailingeric - Absolutely yes I pour slowly out of the bottle. Kerrbrewer - when you brew your ciders, do you cold crash them or just a straight fermenter? Honestly, I have no desire to speed up the process. There is something...

I leave mine in the primary up to 14 days and I always am careful not to siphon off the bottom. I don't go any lower than the spigot on my bucket. What do you mean the days of the secondary are long gone?

I converted an old chest freezer into a lagering box already. It was really easy and only cost about $45 for the control box. My first Oktoberfest kit I had (and the first REAL extract kit I ever did), I used the lagering box. Maybe that was the key on why it came out so well. I already have...

I have made about 5 extract kits so far, and 3 ciders (two completely home made). I bottle my beer with carbonation tablets and have had no problems with doing it that way. The only complaint I have is that I tend to get a yeasty flavoring in the beer or cider that I have bottled. One of...

Hello all! I'm not a newbie (mostly a long time lurker to the forum). 3 years ago my brother in law got me a Mr. Beer kit to try out and see if I was interested in making beer. While I wasn't a huge beer fan, I like to do tinkwe with things like that. To me, I looked at it as an...
