I have never done this before. asked ChatGPT. Here is what it said. What do you all think? PICKLE BEER INGREDIENT LIST (5-GALLON EXTRACT BATCH) Item Amount Pilsner Liquid Malt Extract (LME) 6.6 lb Wheat Dry Malt Extract (DME) 1 lb Saaz or Hallertau hops (low bitterness) 0.5 oz...

Welp there was never any ice that I ever saw before, however, now I see ice on the inside. Not sure what led to that build up. You just shut it off and turned it back on and it didn't re-ice? How did you save the keg inside? I just shut mine off to defrost. I have some people coming over...

Ice build up on the inside now..dang it.

Welp new development. Now there is ice build up on this inside for the first time ever. I just shut the power off to it to let it thaw. Hoping it doesn't ruin my brand new keg of beer. What do you all suggest?

Makes sense thank you!

The sun doesn't really hit it direct for very long. It barely hits that area, but I do see your point. It's set for 33 degrees. Just double checked.

Some. It's not against the wall and some air gaps on top of all appliances. But their is a mini fridge and ice maker on either side of it emitting heat of their coils. I cut the ice maker off. I will see if that helps some too. Also, I have a ceiling fan running there above as well as a circular...

Good thought! I'll pull it out and check.

Thank you very much! Yes, not above that temp. Keg is like 2 weeks old. I almost never use it. The last few kegs I ran through it were running too warm too. Ya, I may just have to pull it out.

Got an outdoor kegerator for outdoor kitchen. Outdoor kitchen is under a covered deck, so not in any direct sunlight. Kegerator is 1 year old. Can't get it to stay cold. It keeps going into the low 40's degrees and not low 30s. Beer is borderline even drinkable. I have a feeling it's the way I...

Man yall are awesome! Thank yall. Ya - it’s gotta be the faucet is warmer. When I did the install, I put a piece of PVC for the small gap above the keg to counter top, but ya I could slide some insulation in there. I love the tower cooler piece too. That’s great. Ya, I just took the cap off...

Newbie here. Got 2 1/4 barrel slims hooked up. First couple beers always almost all foam. Pour them slow and sideways, and still this much foam. Tried turning the air down. Seems to always creep back up. I like a little head on my beer, but this ain’t it ha. What yall suggest keeping the air...

Well I found one leak tonight. Can't believe another failed part. The coupler to the keg where the PRV is is leaking. I snapped it back and forth a few times to try and get it to seat right. Still leaked. This was the same issue on the regulator and they had to send me a new regulator. I suppose...

Ahhh. Did the leak down test. Gauge didn’t noticeably go down after hour. So turned tapped kegs and sprayed all those connections with soapy water too. No bubbles. Cut kegerator off temporarily too to listen better. No hissing. No bubbles anywhere. Thought great. Tank valve opened up all way...

Thanks! Just did the double oetiker and worm clips on the regulator and tap connection. Will get more CO2 tomorrow. @Bobby_M - I'm not super handy (just a beer lover), so forgive the elementary question. You are saying hook regulator up to CO2 tank, attach the couplers to the kegs, but don't...
