You guys are great. Thanks for the feedback. I will implement all of the suggestions and report back in a few days..

I'm starting to think that it may be overcarbed after doing some more reading. I was doing exactly what my experienced friend does and he doesn't have the same problem. Maybe different systems? I don't know. Thanks

Thanks to all the people on this site for their excellent info and photos I was motivated to build a keezer and brewed my first ever beer several weeks ago. Its been in a 5 gallon corny keg in the keezer with the temp fluctuating between 1 & 3 degrees (celsius) to allow for any warming effect of...

I had no idea about the 'heat sink' concern. I should have the keezer up and running by mid-next week and I will monitor it closely. If necessary I will add a fan as you suggest. Thanks.

Oops. Sorry. I wasn't ready to send and don't know how to delete.

Thanks for the reply guys. It is a keezer (small chest freezer) and I have room for 4-6 corny kegs. I have ordered a dual tower with perlick 650s. I would like to have a third keg ready to go in the rotation as one keg finishes so maybe the manifold is a good idea for a quick switch in and out.

Hi - New to the forum. Just starting a keezer build with a two keg tower system and trying to learn what parts to order. Is there a redundancy in ordering a Two Product Dual Pressure Kegerator CO2 Regulator and a Gas Manifold, Beer Gas Distributor, CO2 Manifold (2-Way)? If only one item is...
