This is what I would really like to have. Don't know where I would even go to find them to see if they would fit or where a good place to order them would be. Brass would definitely be idea, any suggestions?

I've considered that and I've also considered possibly using leather to hide whatever ugly compromise I come up with, but the question still remains of how to physically attach the pipe to the fridge.

I have a friend that is a pipe fitter who hooked me up with a good length piece of 3" copper pipe. I'm hoping to patina the copper and put a brass faucet on it. I've already got the faucet, but need a flange and cap for the pipe. I initially intended on using PVC, but the ID on the cap and...

I had that problem. Got my kegerator hooked up for the first time and was so excited I left Co2 on and didn't check for leaks. 2 days later 20lbs tank was EMPTY. Got it refilled and went over EVERY connection with soapy water, found a ton of leaks that I couldn't hear/feel, but the soapy...

Where do you get weatherstripping for the doors? And with the freezer being where the cooling comes from would a small AC fan hooked in where the light bulb was help with a constant temp all around the fridge?

What did you use for a wick?

Many thanks for all the great advice. I will run to the hardware store tomorrow for something a little beefier. Can't wait to tap my first keg once it finishes carbing.

Great! Thanks for the info, but do I still completely disregard which wire is hot and which is neutral since it's non-polarized?

What is the distinct odor? I feel like all CO2 I've dealt with had a "garage" smell... I don't know how to describe it, but it definitely has a scent. Maybe similar to ozone?

Did some reading, but here's a question. The plug is not polarized so how will I know which wire is supposed to be hot and which is not?

I acquired a 1940's(as best as I can tell) Philco refrigerator and so far I have gutted the shelves, pounded out some dents, bent the coiles that were in the shelves up against the back wall and put in 2 taps in the doors. About to sand and bondo the outside and hopefully give it a nice...

You may be able to use Brake Fluid. I've used that several times to get corporate logos off of computer mice.

Well I thought I'd be aging it for months in the barrel and figured a good share would evaporate. When a full bourbon barrel gets opened after aging in a storehouse over 50% has evaporated so I didn't know if I'd have that issue with evaporation through the wood. I was most definitely over...

My friend got one of these as a gift http://www.gobourbon.com/shop?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=69&category_id=27 And now has a barrel that he wants me to age some beer in. Any thoughts on what might go well in here? I've had bourbon porters, but nothing else...

Why do people do it for Keggles then? I've seen pictures of those rings blowing.
