safe to say it is fairly circular now.

stripping more...using bigger tools...looks like i will have to purchase a new lid lol

ok well it seems i am stripping the 1/4 inch driver hole. Maybe a few hard taps like most automotive work requires to break and unseize it.

ok thank you Dr Jeff. I am soaking in brew wash and I assume it counter clockwise to remove. here goes

I wanted to replace the poppet on this cornelius keg lid with something I could relieve pressure but cant figure this dang thing out despite numerous google searches and fiddling with various tools. Would it suffice to say I should invest in a new keg lid?

Weird fridge indeed. I have a few other fridges( I know... too many fridges... I have a therapist) and there almost seems to be no duty cycle.

I believe the thermistor kicks on the defrost heater at around -2 or -3 celcius(my graph is slightly higher than actual temps and the thermometer can't be calibrated). Sooo it was hovering just at that temp with little to no ice buildup on the coils. 6 to eight hour cycles, then suddenly the...

I received this fridge, cleared the drain, replaced the thermister and it seemed to work fine. Used it for bottle conditioning or could be a good kegerator for the camp. Now it does this(see attached graph). Does anybody know what happened to my fridge?

Those mini regulators aren't the best. Not like set it and forget it. https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/Rdeghly-Sodastream-Co2-Adapter-Mini-Regulator-Homebrew-Beer-Corny-Keg-6ACME-6G-to-3-8-24UNF-Keg-Co2-Adapter-Homebrew-Co2-Adapter/PRD58J6WEBMWYKY This was the cheapest I could find and does the...

I found an adapter to go from sodastream to a common regulator recently. And yes it works pretty good no foam just beer.

I find this works pretty good with a 3 gallon keg. I can refill the approx 1 lb cannisters for a fraction of the cost.

soooo... I had a nice cold beer i brewed poured into a frosty mug. I took it outside and it was quite sunny out. warm but not hot out. I sat there with the beer sitting in the sun. Not for too long and it suddenly developed this skunky smell. The taste wasn't much different not that i know what...

Deep...and Dark. I like it. Sometimes a moth is more beautiful than a butterfly. There. I said it.

I have my buckets with screw tops for base grains and my epsom salt jugs (oh and a few juice jugs)for specialty grains. Works pretty good and was pretty much free.

As a side question maybe a new thread... does anyone know at what temp/pressure does a 20 lb cylinder become gas only? Or a modification to the ideal gas equation to account for this.There must be a curve or calculator for that. It also seems when I am getting a 20 lb tank I am getting about...

I could find anything with a T or TW but these numbers are stamped. I thought they were inspection dates but maybe its tare in kilograms

Thanks Vikeman. So plugging numbers in while taking approximate atmospheric pressure into consideration gives me only a slightly higher mass of CO2 by a fraction of a pound. My weight of the cylinder is about 26 lbs and I can't see a tare weight on the cylinder unless it's something other...

So I am using the ideal gas law PV=nRT to determine the remaining CO2 in my 20 lb tank. I measured the tank pressure as 20 bar converted to 19.74 atmosphere I also looked up the volume of the tank as 13.4 litres I then measured the temperature as 10.4 degrees celcius converted to 283 Kelvin...

Here is my first lager fermentation using my tired old fridge with an inkbird 308. I had it set for 53.6 degrees Fahrenheit(12 degrees celcius )

Yea that would certainly pinpoint it. My lines are all short and hung up though and inside the fridge with the kegs almost touching the ceiling and the manifold on top... its like working on a Japanese car
