    aluminum sanke?

    The beer never touches the joints in the CFC. I used Bobby M's basic idea to make mine After reading several threads, I am leaning towards my water source being the culprit. I'll brew up a cheap/fast beer to confirm this using bottled water. The metal beers were made with water from my...

    Keggle Drilling Problems

    Perhaps someone here has a better way, but I used a cheap 3/4" hole saw bit. A quick ding with a center punch, plenty of cutting fluid and a small power drill and I was through in about sixty seconds. I used a round file to enlarge the hole *just* enough so I could thread the coupling in...
