I also prefer the look of the look of the controller mounted on the collar but was concerned about moisture and the open electrical connections. This is my solution, a junction box from Lowes (painted black) mounted on the wall behind the keezer. Its good enough for now, although I may explore...

Another vote for Magnolia Brewing. I enjoyed the weather report wheat. Another great SF brewery is 21st Amendment. They have a brewpub near At&t park (soma). Their session IPA is one of my favorites. Enjoy SF!

+1 for craigslist. I found my corny kegs and c02 bottle on there. You can also find good deals on chest freezers. The only stuff I bought new was taps, lines, and fittings, and stuff to build the thermostat. Much cheaper than buying a pre-built one. Also, I started off with a buying a...
