Hi all, I have had this kegerator for about two months now, and it's worked out great. My question is how often does the compressor come on? I've got it set just past MED and it holds between 41-45F (I like my beer cold). It comes on about every 30 min for 3-4 min at a time. Has anyone else...

Hey, Give this a shot - with mine the two crosshatched pieces, the grippy metal parts ( don't know the proper name ) are actually two pieces, the top part is threaded on and it moves so that the handle can be secured without the gap - that worked for me :)

Hey jvp1 I'm also new to home brewing and have my second batch in primary, looking forward to filling up my kegerator ;-) I was wondering if you know of a LHBS in the Surrey area - far as I can tell it's either Dan's in Van or North Corner in Bellingham? Cheers!

That's great info! thanks pressure relief valve ;) the soapy water test went ok, I'll weigh it tomorrow Juan thanks for the tips. These tanks are being stored outside where I'm guessing the temp when I tested them was about 60F brewingmeister, haha! yeah it's a brand spanking new 2.5 lb...

Thanks for the replies - It's the cap on the right - I couldn't wait and gave it like an extremely small right turn probably a 1/64" and it stopped there's 600 psi left in there now. I've read somewhere that they're filled to 800 - 1000 so I guess it's not a total loss

Hi folks I had 3 tanks filled yesterday and it seems one has a leak at the fill cap. The place I had it filled is now closed and won't be open until Monday. My question is does anyone know if the fill cap is a standard righty tighty or is it a reverse thread? Please help!

That's awesome thanks guys. I was concerned about the temperature swings but on second thought i think I'll have to get SWMBO to tell me we should get another fridge. HBT forums ROCK!

Hi John I know this is an old thread but I was wondering what kind of results / insights you may have had? I was hoping to do the exact same thing. Cheers
