Mine is built, and after three weeks with no fan it is definitely getting some ice buildup. However, I have noticed that with the kegs off the ground I don't get the water pooling up that I used to get. Looking forward to installing the fan though.

Thanks for the info. I wasn't sure what was causing it but that makes sense. I was trying for a 9V power supply but I went ahead and ordered the 5V one since it is proven to work.

I didn't want to reply because i haven't gotten this working yet, but yes, that's what I have been doing. I use butt connectors to splice the lines together. However, as you can see from my posts above, I'm having a hard time getting a power supply that works with the fan. I'll probably just get...

Ok, thanks for that information. That makes sense, but it turns out my problem was even stupider. Apparently 300ma doesn't equal 3A. Which I KNEW but I failed to notice. *LEARNING MOMENT* In any case, I now have a new issue with power. I picked up this 9V 3A power supply...

Is there any way to get the images restored to this thread? I'm getting broken links for all the original image posts.

My understanding that amps need to be at or above, but lowering the volts will just make the fan run slower. Since the fan is 2.6a and the PS is 3a, that should be enough amperage. 9v will rotate the fan at a slower speed, which is actually what I want. I'm not an electrician though, this is...

I just built this PVC/Bilge Fan setup and I'm having an issue with it burning out my AC adapters. The fan I got is rated for 12v/2.6amps, so I wired it to an 7v/3amp adapter I disconnected from a computer fan I had mounted under the hood of the keezer. The bilge fan seemed to work fine but...

I've seen a ton of keezers in this thread but honestly this is the first one I really like the look of. Very nice design.

I've got some dried malt extract left over from a recent recipe, and I was thinking that I could use it to prime my beer at bottling instead of corn sugar. Once I figure out how much I need, what's the best way to prepare it? Do I have to boil it for 60 minutes?
