Hello all, I have a new (to me) Micromatic mmpp4300 glycol chiller however when I got it, the compressor blew out after there was a failure in the evap coil that ran the pump dry. I am an Expat teacher currently living in Egypt now, and the original compressor is not avaiable here. So I have...

Hello all For those who know me, know that I am on possibly an impossible endeavor. However I feel i am close to solving a challenge but I would like some constructive help. I am working out the formula for diet pepsi, I have gotten very close my wife cant tell the difference. But in my OCD...

Hello everyone I am finally finshing my home built micromatic cooler mmpp4301 I have finally got the 3 stainless steel coil brackets finished, and bent. I am now ready to mount the copper coil but I can not seem to find any photos as to how the 3 coil brackets are mounted to the lid. Could...

As people are reporting the need to use longer hose lengths implies that they are having higher flow rates they need to slow down. but according to my testing even the shortest length should slow the flow rates down to below 2oz/sec. what is going on?

Hey guys I am hoping some one can help me out here. I have just completed flow test on my beer tower it is a 4 product tower, 5/16 stainless steel tubes with a 5/16 bore on the shank to a perlick 650ss with flow control. The tower is a glycol cooled unit from micromatic. I have done testing...

What is meant by mixing sticks are viewed in the photo below. They are used to mix epoxies and are about 5.5" long X about 1/4" dia. and slide into the dip tube in your corney kegs they come out normally by themselves due to the carbonation, however if they do not, when your tank is empty simply...

Some people have been asking for some clarification of the numbers because of the formatting or lack there of in the original post. I am including an excel sheet snap shot for all to see. seen as the attachment below. All measurements have been double checked to an accuracy of +-.002 fl oz/sec...

Helllo everyone, I hope you find this information useful, I have been looking for the flow rates for 3/16 accu flex bev seal ultra 235 for soda. No one seemed to know what the accurate flow rates of this line were so I spent a day measuring different lengths for kegging soda and pushing it thru...

Hello all Has anyone here ever converted a standard cobra style glycol tower to a ice tower? Can it be done? and how did you do it?

It was on almost every hose where they crimped it. It is not bad at all if you use the lines for filling.... But for beer/soda where the line is static, that can loose a decent amount of pressure over 24 hours.

Hello all. As some of you know I have been having a demons time with this beer tower. I have done a temp test and have determined that the soda is climbing 6 degrees between the keg and the glass. I am also having problems with the flow rate. (I need to run 1/8" lines, but the pipes in...

Hello Mary, I agree with you that we all should be careful with viruses but, an excel document usually do not contain any viruses not since the 90's Google drive does a very good job on scanning documents for viruses both on the up load side, and on the download (user side). 3rd most excel...

Absolutely correct and Duely noted, however this is best fixed with a glycol system to keep the beer tower/taps cold. This calculator is assuming that the beer/soda is being dispensed at the tap equal or colder than the temp of the keg. In my system I keep the kegs at 36.5, and have a glycol...

When I first started with soda dispensing the one you suggested was the first "calculator" I used. And it never did work. I got 65' of 3/16" hose. I originally tried the 65' come to find out it would have taken a dispensing pressure of 40 psi to get soda out of that length of hose. I had to...

Hello everyone I am looking for volunteers to try a new line length and pour calculator on an excel document. If you are interested in testing you can find it here https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0Bxfs98TezoYqYm5vRkg5X0pkVHM?usp=sharing I am trying to make it easier for everyone...
