Well after a year or 2 break I am back! Found some new friends who like to brew more than I do. Since christmas I've made: 5 gallons of bock 5 gallons of wheat ipa (bottling tonite) 5 gallons of multigrain red (still fermenting) 5 gallons of apfelwine (still fermenting) as soon i...

I have a 10-12 year old Continental NC 69 Kegerator. The unit doesn't work, I think the compressor is out. I bought this about 3 years ago and the compressor was out I had a local commerical repairman come and replace it. . The owner said he had replaced the compressor once before. The unit...

One of he annoying things i hear is "what are you gonna do with 5 gallons of beer?" I procede to tell them that it is about 50 beers and it will last me about a month or so. Another funny thing to talk to people about is kegerators: it seems that not many people know what it is...

Agreed, i already have a johnson a419 controller i used for something else. So i really only need to buy 3 fridge shanks, if I use that full sized fridge that is in there . Only thing i don't like about a freezer is I usually have a 1/2 barrel kegs on tap. I am unsure if i can lift one that high...

Cheers everyone! I would like some advice/thoughts on what I should do about my Kegerator situation. Long story short, about 2 years ago I bought a Continental NC69 kegerator off Craig’s list. Here are is what I have spent on it. This is a large 2 door model (69 inches). The unit is now...

i think the grolsch bottles are the best. I don't like the beer though. Several month ago the LHBS had a few cases of grolsch bottles in the nice plastic cases for sale. I wish i would have pick them up. ive found it is nice to have all the same sizes of bottles when using a bench capper. it...

what i have been doing is (after the beer is gone) is rinse the keg out untill clean. fill it up with water put the lid back on it and put it back in the kegerator. when i want to use it again i wash with what ever line cleaner i have, sanitize it and fill it. my kegerator hold way more kegs...

I found some swival sets that has 5/32 barb connection. Does anyone know if this will seal correctly on the bev seal ultra 3/16th. .

I have lost two store bought kegs due to a faucet being sticky and not closing all the way , a tiny drip increasing overnight will drain one off .

Oh nevermind there is now is a review of the item.

Was thinking about buying these. http://www.micromatic.com/draft-keg-beer/taps-faucets-pid-FCA-A.html Has anyone tried them out? I was wanting to use these so i could run shorter beer line.

At least it is contained in your freezer vs all over the floor. I feel for ya! It is not if you loose a keg of beer, it is when!!

recently i have been priming my kegs with sugar or DME. before that i was force carbonating. i am mainly usign sugar now becuase my co2 tank i carb with is empty and it needs inspected. both ways have worked good. i like using DME the best becuase it seemed to have better head retention.
