    Homebrew kegging setup + kegerator in NYC

    Well, this is painful. I'm moving soon and have finally accepted that I won't be able to take my kegerator and home brew kegging setup with me. Hopefully someone on here can find it a good home. The kegerator is a converted wine fridge setup to handle two 5 gal (20 L) kegs. It should also be...

    Instead of the usual instant read thermometer...

    I picked up a 10ft and a 6ft extension cable pretty cheap online (mptools.com 13$ shipped), not sure how long this thing will allow the extension cable before it starts loosing signal and all that but I'm anxious to find out. When you say the probe is 4 3/8" long does that include the plasic...

    Instead of the usual instant read thermometer...

    wow, bought one on the spot, this looks perfect. Have you tried brewing with it yet? I am getting ready to weld some new fanciness onto my brewpot, I think I might try adding a 3/16" I.D. tube (closed on one end) about half way up so that I could stick this thing in and measure from there.

    what should I weld onto my aluminum brewpot

    Thanks for the replies! Not too worried about the welding, he usually does welds for vacuum chambers so I think this should be relatively easy (and yes it is a thick restaurant-grade pot). Those fittings look good but they all seem to be stainless or brass, I'm not sure how it is supposed to...

    what should I weld onto my aluminum brewpot

    I have a friend who is willing to do some TIG welding on my aluminum brew pot. So that part is taken care of. Now I realized I have no idea what I am supposed to be welding on there. I've hunted around the forums but it seems like everyone already knows exactly what they are supposed to be...

    List of Kegerator Fridges?

    The space thing was my problem too (I live in a tiny manhattan apartment). That was why it was important to find a small fridge that would work for my needs. I probably put too much work getting my haier wine cooler working, Barelywater I'm surprised to see that someone else went through the...

    Flat beer in new kegerator

    My lines are 5 feet long 3/16" tubing. I didn't realize that line length could take out all the carbonation, I thought it just altered the head. I guess I have more studying to do. I'll definitely try it at low pressure, I didn't even think that lowering might help, all I have done so far is...

    Flat beer in new kegerator

    Hi all, I guess this is my third thread now related to my kegerator project (what can I say, I love this kegerator). I am sure the answer to my question is somewhere buried in the forum but I searched and couldn't quite figure it out so I hope you will forgive me if this is a dupe. I have 2x...

    List of Kegerator Fridges?

    I agree with the OP. Google is terrible for finding what he is looking for, all I found was the occasional reference to an individual fridge someone used (usually the 4912 which I wasn't having luck finding). A list would be a worthwhile thing to compile listing capacity, inner dimensions, and...

    Connecting corny kegs to a kegerator

    Awesome, I'll just hunt down the cheapest place to order from then. Last question (I hope) do I need to get washers to put in there too? Thanks again!

    Haier Wine Cellar -> kegerator

    Can't help but sneak in a close up on the tap handles that I custom made (and as with all of these things, "I" actually refers to my roommates and me). You can also see the rails in that I installed, an idea blatantly stolen from sirsloop.

    Put a blackboard on your keg!

    This looks amazing, any word how well the chalkboard paint stays after a while? Does it still look as nice as when you first did this or has it been beaten up and lost its glamour?

    Connecting corny kegs to a kegerator

    Wow, thanks for all the quick replies. The tail piece to MFL adaptor that you all recommended is exactly what I ordered for the liquid out part of the coupler. So if I am understanding you correctly I should have ordered the same piece for both the gas in and the liquid out? I guess it would...

    Haier Wine Cellar -> kegerator

    And I think I have everything up and running. Used some wood beneath the starboard to support the weight of kegs (I don't think that plastic would be enough to do it). Then I put the whole fridge up in the air ontop of chairs, put a piece of cardboard underneath, and over the space in the...

    Connecting corny kegs to a kegerator

    Well I've hunted a bit but I seem to have completely confused myself looking on my own so maybe someone here with experience can help me. Briefly, here is my question: Does anyone know what sort of piece I could use to adapt the gas in of my D system sankey coupler to MFL? Now the...

    Sanyo 4912 draft tower stabilization mod and stainless steel rail install tips

    Man those rails look great, my kegerator isn't even finished yet and now you already have me thinking of more ways to deck out my setup

    Haier Wine Cellar -> kegerator

    We took a dremel to the thin layer of white plastic and it cut straight through like butter. Next there was maybe 1.5 inches of insulation that was easiest to just obliterate (took a knife and cut it out) as you can see here: Once we got all the insulation out it was quite a bit harder to get...

    Haier Wine Cellar -> kegerator

    Well the temperature was a simple fix, picked up a 100k potentiometer (~2$), ran it in parallel with the thermistor, and now I can trick the winecooler into thinking it is warmer than it actually is. Right now it cools down to 37 degrees without problem (as measured by a thermocouple I put in...

    Haier Wine Cellar -> kegerator

    I picked up a really nice looking Haier BC112G wine cellar on craigslist that I'm going to try to convert to a kegerator. Here is a picture of it in its current state Back to the beginning, this is the wine cellar before changing anything: It would probably be easier to just pay the...
