    BevAir DD68 Compressor short cycling

    Soooo...just an update. Installed new factory relay and overload. No go for that option. Tried the 3 in 1 kit and the compressor just clicked. I'm assuming a frozen compressor. Instead of nickel and diming a repair I bought a 10.2 cu ft freezer at Best Buy that I'll be converting to a...

    BevAir DD68 Compressor short cycling

    Thanks for the response. There is no start capacitor for this model. I used the factory replacement relay. There is an overload switch and unless anyone can provide anymore insight to this issue that will be the next "cheap" part to be replaced.

    BevAir DD68 Compressor short cycling

    Hey guys, like the title says, I've got a BevAir kegerator and the compressor started short cycling last week. The compressor wants to start and kicks on for about 2 seconds then shuts off. I replaced the relay hoping it was a simple fix. That did not work and now I'm here asking for any...

    Beverage Air Kegerator

    It took about two minutes to fill half a pint glass. It's virtually a trickle....like an old man with a swollen prostate... Kegerator is right around 35-40 degrees based on the old school thermometer thats in there.

    Beverage Air Kegerator

    Problem solved! Apparently when I cleaned and reassembled them I put the o-ring on top of the dip tube. Only problem now is that the beer is coming out at a trickle. I've tried pouring at 10-12psi and it doesn't have any effect on the super slow pour. Thanks everyone for all your help...

    Beverage Air Kegerator

    Its on a ball lock corny keg. The old pour was a steady stream of pure foam and when I changed to the new lines I get the sputtering foam. Keg was carbed at 30psi for "a few days." I'm not exactly sure how many days. Less than a week.

    Beverage Air Kegerator

    So, the first keg is in there. The hoses that came with the new towers were four foot 1/4” lines. I had major steady foam. So I read up and replaced them with 10 foot 3/16th line. I’m now having sputtering foam. What am I doing wrong? Beer line is coiled on top of the keg and the cooling fan...

    The towers both have cooling hoses running into them. I'm planning to just use the 1/4 lines already there and connecting them to the keg. I brewed on the 21st and that'll be my first batch going in a keg!

    Beverage Air Kegerator

    So basically, I just need to connect 3/16 hose to the faucet tailpieces and then to the ball lock adapters. The kegerator came with one sanke coupler and two out of date 20#CO2 cylinders. Even after the tank test, still a lot better than buying! Thanks for all the help!

    Beverage Air Kegerator

    So, the project is coming along. I've gotten it cleaned up and installed two new double tap beer towers. To simplify getting everything connected I got a four tap setup from coldbreak brewing...

    Beverage Air Kegerator

    Thanks for the info. Any preferred place to get what I need? Mainly based on service/shipping. Also, best place to get kegs? Basically, I'm looking to start with two kegs, eventually moving to four in the near future. I'd love to move up to six at some point....but I feel like that's a ways...

    Beverage Air Kegerator

    Hey everyone, I just picked up a two tower Beverage Air kegerator. I'm brand new to the world of kegerators and kegging. I'd like to modify the two single tap towers into two double tap towers. I've been looking around at keg connection and beverage factory and have tried to compile a list of...
