So after rebuilding my micromatic premium regulators (4 of them) twice and still suffering a measurable (but non-locatable)leak , I think it's time to throw in the towel. So my configuration is 4 primary regulators linked together via the high pressure ports. After a couple of years of solid...

Well, moisture and electricity generally don't mix. But I'd imagine the only short you could get is from one of the live circuit connections in the fan to the metallic surface inside the keezer. Not much flammable in there. I don't see how you could get a short outside the keezer. Just my...

I've been running them for years without a problem. What, exactly, are your concerns? Fire? Shock?

This is the fan I currently have in mine. Previously I had a similar cheap 4" fan I bought at Target as well. Ran non-stop for about 4 years with no problems. It finally seized up last time I shut down the kegerator for a bit of reconfiguring. I'm all for pre-assembled 120V fans that are...

This is the high pressure line I use. I've been thinking about tracking down the parts to build a shut off valve so I don't have to depressurize the line to swap CO2 bottles, but haven't bothered so far. I used to have my regulators inside the kegerator with the CO2 bottle outside. I recently...

Been meaning to post this one for several years. Just got around to it today because I did a quick mod to it and decided to finally take pictures. I relocated the regulators outside the cold zone for easier access, less moisture, etc. I'm still chasing a slow CO2 leak that I can't track down...

I've been contemplating switching to sankey kegs for this reason.

Another thing to keep in mind. The CO2 in your bottle isn't actually compressed gas. It's actually compressed enough that it turns in to a liquid. The head space above the liquid level in the bottle is gas. It'll maintain a constant pressure until there's no liquid left, then the pressure...

Well, other issues have forced me to rebuild my regs (several times). There was evidence of corrosion on the internals of my regs. Assuming I've worked out the rest of my problems, I think I'm going to keep a fair amount of desiccant in the kegerator from now on. As long as I can keep the...

Going through old posts. I ended up getting the keg replaced. Never did solve the problem. Just a bad commercial keg I guess.

Well, I've been fighting it for a while. I kept swapping parts and discovered that one of the rebuild kits was no good. Didn't narrow it down to a specific component. I did finally kill the audible leak. Took everything apart, and reassembled one more time. Dunked it all one more time and...

So I've been chasing a slow leak in my kegerator for a while now. 5 lb CO2 tank used to last for several months, now I'm down to a few weeks. I use 4 Micromatic primary regulators tied together in series (check out this link. Anyway, I finally got sick of chasing the leak with soapy...

24569 + 5 = 24574

Question regarding iBrewMaster. I typically brew all grain utilizing a single infusion mash based on the wiki here. Does it (or any other iOS app) calculate the proper water temperature and volume to add to the grain bill for the mash?

Forgot to post my latest batch that started fermentation two weeks ago... 24,833.5 + 5 = 24,838.5

23,088.5 + 5 = 23,093.5

22,677 + 15 = 22,692

Well, I managed to take the keg apart (twice). The first time I found the O-ring seemed to be improperly installed. Re-seated it and took a look at the flanges on both the spear and the keg. Everything looked good. Had the same effect. Second time I took it apart, I double checked the...

Dude, I don't think it's the keg. Your sanitizer keg isn't working either. As long as you had water above the bottom of the spear in your sanitizing keg, you should pretty much immediately have some water flow (after getting pressure up in the keg ~1-2 seconds). You shouldn't hear bubbling...

How'd I miss this in my pre-post search? He's having a similar problem except all he's getting is CO2. I'm getting a mix of CO2 and beer. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/no-beer-only-co2-out-tap-314464/
