    Danby DAR125SLDD - Stainless "look" ?

    Hey guys, hopefully someone can answer this. Looking to build a kegerator. Question about the "finish" of the Danby. Is the stainless door that fake stainless look like the Frigidaire? Or does it look like the real stainless that gets super fingerprinted up?

    Spilled some yeast while making starter - need more?

    OK, so I popped the lid on the yeast vial - and a small amount spewed out for some reason. I probably lost 1/8th to 1/10th of the vial. I went ahead and made my yeast starter as usual. Should I get another vial - or do you think the yeast starter will be fine?

    Fla-Vor-Ice in beer...?

    OK - in the summertime, I love those big giant Fla-Vor-Ice pops we all had when we were kids, especially the orange ones. Want to make a beer that kinda tastes like that. Have a saison in one of the fermentors now - tempted to just dump an orange Fla-Vor-Ice into that or when kegged. Thoughts?

    Kegs with NON-removable poppets

    So does anybody use the kegs with the poppets that you can NOT remove? These kegs are also the ones with no rubber handles at the top - just the steel handle. Do you like having the poppets in place or removable better?

    Shank loose from tower - how to tighten?

    Ok, maybe I am an idiot, because I cant figure this out. BUT - my shank seems to be loose connected to the tap tower, and the actual tap is tight onto the shank. Beer is pouring fine. The shank just wiggles where attached to tower. How the heck do you tighten this back up? Seems like the...

    Sanyo 4912M the same as 4912?

    Will finally be making the jump to kegging, and have been reading up on DIY kegerators. Looks like ALOT of people recommend the Sanyo 4912. Does anyone know if the 4912M is the same as the 4912? I cant seem to find the 4912 model anywhere - maybe the 4912M is a newer model..?

    Boilermaker 10 gallon - thermometer height?

    I think I read somewhere on here that the thermometer height on the Boilermaker 10 gallon kettle is kinda high. Can anyone verify this? Just looking at the pics, it DOES seem like it would be barely below the 5 gallon mark...
