I work at my LHBS and the owner told us all the minimum price of $479 is set by the manufacturer and if we sold them for cheaper or discounted then and they found out about it they wouldn't sell us anymore Robobrews.

That's probably the version without the pump. Robobrews are MAP priced which basically means the manufacturer sets a price and you can't sell the units for cheaper than that. That's why they're $479 almost everywhere.

I turned the fridge to the coldest setting and straightened the capillary tube out as best I could. It seems to be cooling now. I'll chech tomorrow and see if it's at the right temperature. Thanks!

Was it a new recipe? You're sure everything was clean and sanitized?

I've never used sugar to carbonate in a keg but when I bottle I use 5oz per 5 gallons.What was your bad luck with CO2?

I recently bought this mini fridge someone converted into a kegerator to use for a fermentation chamber. I was planning on using an inkbird like everyone else but he threw in this Johnson Controls temp controller at no extra cost. So I hooked it up and put a bucket of water in, set the...

When I keg the beer pushes most of foam out of the keg and on to my floor, I got wise and use a plastic tote now. Were you not filling the keg from the bottom? I wouldn't dump it just because of some star san foam. I always leave it in my carboys and kegs and haven't had any issues.

2659.5 + 5 gallons of Mosaic IPA = 2664.5 gallons

Best to just replace all the o rings on your kegs right away. They can absorb soda flavors and make your beer taste a bit off. A new set costs only a few dollars.

It could be the yeast itself. Sometimes it clumps up and floats around especially if you pitched from a starter and let it flocculate for a few hours. People post these threads all the time and it's almost never mold.

Welcome to the forum! Which kegerator did you order? I love mine, no more fiddling with 50 bottles

I live an apartment and had a similar problem. I remove my shower head and connect my chiller there with a fitting from the hardware store. Works great!

+5 gallons of Cascade IPA 1242.5 + 5 = 1247.5

Might want to consider using a two gallon fermenter, the added head space will minimize beer lost to blow off.

For a simple set up you'll need a kettle capable of boiling at least 2.5 to 3 gallons for about an hour. A SS stock pot and your kitchen stove will work fine but eventually you'll want to upgrade to full volume boils and a propane burner. Boiling all your wort at once will give you better hop...

After burping a few days and and not finding any more leaks, outgassing seems to be the problem. It never occurred to me to pour another pint right after a glass full of foam but the 2nd one is near perfect. So to correct this I should burp for a few more days, right? Raising the serving...

That's a pretty cool idea! Never heard of it done before but there's only 1 way to find out!

Why not get a temp controller and a carboy cap with a thermal well? Then the fridge will only run until it gets down to whatever temp you set it at.

I wouldn't use dish soap on anything you brew with, it can leave behind a residue that doesnt taste very nice. I would give them both a good rinse, then a nice long soak in PBW and another good rinsing.

#8 Usually I fill my bottles right up to the brim so that when I remove my bottle filler there is about an inch of head space left. I always get good carbonation and minimal if any oxidation with this method.
