I very carefully drilled holes through the frame into the insulation. Then I took a small screwdriver and poked around inside to make sure I would not run into a refrigerant tube. The screws are 1" long sheet metal screws. On the compressor side I used bolts and nuts since the back of the...

Four fits easily with one on the hump. Some have even fit five in it.

The shanks on those screws are 1/2" long, which is just barely long enough considering that they have to go through the aluminum profile before entering the plastic frame. That's why I decided to have two screws per bracket. I discovered a video on YouTube by 4x4jeep74 who's building a keezer...

Beautiful work, Endoquest, especially the plumbing! Is that a flexible hose on the drain of the middle keggle?

Thanks for the comments guys. You are in for a fun project. :) Having the HBT community to ask for help or get inspiration from is really great. It got me going on this project as well as many others. :mug:

The GFCI protects you if you come in contact with a live wire and touch a grounded object. How necessary this is depends partly on how well you have constructed your electrical system, how often you plug and unplug things, and have spills. As a general rule, when we work with electrical...

Do you have circulation in your HLT? If not you will likely overshoot the set point. If you have a pump try to circulate the water in the HLT. If not, stir with a long spoon as it is getting close to the set point. Water likes to settle in layers of different temperature, "stratification". Some...

Thanks, Earthbound. I have brewed ten times on the system even though it is not finished yet. I got a MIG welder before the holidays, and I have almost finished the brew stand now. A few more details then paint. I will post an update. I have not finished the connections to the heater...

That's an interesting concept; using a grant when recirculating the wort. That may actually address one issue I have had with my 1.5" ss RIMS tube with a 3000W heater. I run it at 750W for maintaining temperature, but at 3000W for step mashes. My last two 10-gallon batches scorched during the...

Nice. Five taps! :tank: Have you had five kegs in there yet? I have not yet on mine, but in theory it should be possible.

I used adhesive caulking from Lowes/HD, I don't remember the brand any more. Any adhesive caulking would do as well.

Wow, that is some handle! No chance of a sticking faucets there. I like it.

Thanks, and you are welcome. Your keggerator is looking good!

I have not posted a parts list. I will try to give you some of the parts numbers. Terminal block end stop: Mouser part No. 845-CA802 Terminal block endplate: Mouser 845-EP2.5/4UN Terminal ground block: Mouser 845-CGT4U Terminal block: Mouser 845-CTS4U-N Altech 2A circuit breaker: Mouser...

That may be true, but that is what I tried first and I had miserable luck with it. I brazed a 1/2" copper adapter to my Sanke. It worked for two brews, and then it snapped right off. I could see that there had been almost no adhesion to the stainless. I must have used the wrong silver rod (don't...
