    Kegland Flow Control Keg Ball Locks?

    Seems like there may be some variation to these things. With a tap directly on the dang thing, and full open, mine trickled out. I ground down the flare fitting so that I could open it up further.. now granted, this comes with the risk of potentially some dude unscrewing it all the way and...

    Deleting the Divide between the Freezer and Fridge

    I’ll eventually have a Cornical on each side, but have just the one for now. With the freezer floor taken out, she chills like a champ! 10/10. But I did accidentally freeze my starsan in the blow off jar when bringing the beer temp from 75-50. Used an aluminum commercial baking pan for the...

    Good to know! I've not done a beer on nitro yet, but that does make sense. I wasn't thinking about the restrictor plate! I'll chop that line down to 10' one of these days.

    3 are 10' and 1 is 20'. I did...Sort of. I bought ~5/32" (4mm) beer line to help with restriction to keep my lines shorter. That being said, friction is scaled by the square of the velocity of the fluid running through it, So I am of the thought that too long of line doesn't hurt as bad as...

    Deleting the Divide between the Freezer and Fridge

    I’ll just keep updating in the hopes that someone will find the documentation of this process helpful. I tore out most of the foam. Found a couple more wires but I was using a recip saw so it just skipped right over them. They were just wires for the refrigerator lights anyway. One bonus I’ve...

    Deleting the Divide between the Freezer and Fridge

    I won’t destroy the face of it. I’ll leave the doors. I may take the face of the freezer floor out at a later time and build a custom door, but that’s beyond the scope of this project. I’m not even sure how much longer this fridge will last. Haha. It’s pretty old.

    Deleting the Divide between the Freezer and Fridge

    That's a good idea. The plan is after this thing gets gutted is to then build two separate chambers vertically, insulated from each other with foam. I’ll have to think of a way to work that element in. It’s there. It’s wired. May as well. Well. Started cutting wires. I don’t like to do things...

    Deleting the Divide between the Freezer and Fridge

    That makes perfect sense about the Humidity Control. Thanks for that! I honestly didn’t know what it was. The black box is the defrost timer I learned from a parts list, but I haven't found any detailed wire diagrams beyond that. I probably wouldn't need a defrost cycle anyway as the entire unit...

    Deleting the Divide between the Freezer and Fridge

    So the whole thing is a stacked fridge freezer. Freezer on top. What your looking at there is unbolted from the top of the refrigerator compartment. There are slider controls to control the temp of each compartment. Those act on gears to turn what I assume are variable resistors connected to...

    Deleting the Divide between the Freezer and Fridge

    Anyone ever attempt it? Ive started tearing into it and there’s some wire, some temp sensors, and temp controls. Just wondering if anyone’s done it and if there’s some examples of what people did with these things. I’ll consult a wiring diagram soon to see if I can interrupt these controls...

    Greetings from Eastern Iowa!

    Have pulled a lot of knowledge from these boards over my year of brewing. Starting to get the process down and figured i'd join now. Just wanted to say my thanks to the board! Its pretty amazing how much you can learn by searching and reading old threads.

    Blichmann Cornical

    Okay, I'm in the market for a new Fermentor. I keep circling back to the Cornical. I seriously think it's probably the best bang for the buck. My reasoning: Dump Valve is 1.5" Butterfly and Tri-Clover. Rotating Racking/Sampling Arm Steep Cone Full Stainless Can Pressurize to 50 psi for...

    Side by Side Kegerator Build

    New guy here, but a long time lurker I suppose. I'd say 60% of my googling of homebrew related items brings me here. So I decided this an appropriate place to post my Kegerator Build! Recently my Keezer bit the dust, and with warming beer and mold growing exponentially.. I decided it was time...
