Hey All, I just started kegging and will never fill 5 gallons worth of bottles ever again. There are times though that I may want to fill a 6 pack or something to keep for aging or to give away to friends. Is there a way to traditionally prime a single bottle without creating grenades...

Happy Thanksgiving to All! A quick question for you. I am bringing a keg of my Pumpkin Ale to the family's house today. I do not have a trash barrel I can fill with ice to keep it cold, but do have a large cooler which will fit a keg on it's side. Is that ok? Can I keep the keg on its...

Absolutely get home safe. My thoughts and prayers are with you and all of the troops. I served in Kabul, Afghanistan during Thanksgiving and Christmas in 2002 and know how tough that can be. Thank goodness we were able to get some beer from our friends the Germans!!! I will be thinking...

Thank you for your help.

I just looked at it closer. The ice tray, which is bolted to the roof of the fridge is the actual cooling unit. So if i took that off, its game over. Tell me this wouldn't make a great kegerator???

Thanks for the response. It looks like the cold for the freezer is coming from a tube located from the back base (bottom) of the fridge and runs up the back corner to the freezer unit. The freezer itself looks like it is attached loosely to the top, with the thermostat separated to the left...

I just came across a Mini Fridge with a nice stainless steel front. It would be perfect to convert into a kegerator. The only problem is there is a small freezer at the top of the refrigerated section which blocks a typical 5 gallon keg from fitting. Can I just cut/disconnect the freezer...

Its coming from the valve on the front of the regulator, the part that looks like a long screw.

Thank you for your help. I have just one more question. I just opened the main valve up and loosened the valve on the regulator a bit to get to 13 psi. There is CO2 leaking from the valve on the regulator. Is this normal or is the valve a bit loose? If it's normal, I would think alot of CO2...

Thats great help, thank you. And when you mentioned the main valve should be left on, I am assuming you mean wide open right? Thanks again!

I got the Delux Starter Kit from Northern Brewer, andI love it and recommend the company as well. Follow this link to see their starter kit options: http://www.northernbrewer.com/starterkits.html Happy brewing!

Tonight I kegged for the first time. Sanitizing the keg, lines, etc went fine. Then I realized I have absolutely no idea how to control the pressure from the CO2 tank. I have a dual guage regulator and when I first pressurized the keg, the guage shot up to just over 20 psi. The beer & keg are...

Thanks alot. That is what i figured.
