    Irish Red Ale Raging Red Irish Red Ale

    Brewed a spinoff today. Used 4 lb marris otter and 4 lb 2 row for the base. Kept other grains the same. Used Target hops for bittering and fuggle for aroma. Also using wyeast 1084 (Irish Ale) in place of WLP001. Had a minor set back when my propane tank ran out and my spare tank leaked...

    Igloo Kegerator at Walmart - $369

    That's how I did mine. I had to remove the top plastic cover so I could place the tap tower directly on the top of the fridge. Then I marked the holes and drilled straight through into the fridge. The tower I bought from Kegco came with gaskets and hardware to allow it to attach without...

    Igloo Kegerator $159 at Home Depot (YMMV)

    I'm considering moving my tank to the outside. Any issues so far with this placement of the gas line? Also what did you use to drill the hole and fill it with so that there would be now refrigerated air leak?

    Saison Cottage House Saison

    LOL. I had no doubts about the recipe, chose it mostly because of the recipe. More doubt in my own abilities and improvisations. I wrote down caravienne instead of caramunich on my shopping list when I went to the LHBS (oops) and then I also got german pilsner instead of belgian. Also...

    Saison Cottage House Saison

    I'm in the same boat. I made a batch Monday OG 1.058 checked the gravity today and I'm sitting at 1.003. I also used Belle Saison and fermented at room temp the whole time. I want to bottle this batch so I can get a higher CO2 volume than my other beers in my kegerator (single regulator). I...

    I use 3 ball locks. Pepsi style and not converted pin locks. It's a tight fit but it works. 2 kegs are side by side against the compressor hump and one sits in front making a triangle shape.

    Igloo Kegerator at Walmart - $369

    I was able to on my to put a 3 tap tower on my kegerator. I used the existing hole for the beer lines but had to drill 4 holes to attach the tower to the fridge. I didn't hit any lines that I can tell. The fridge has been running strong for about 5 months now.

    Looks good. I just bought a new tower with perlicks from beverage factory. Glad to hear the install was pretty straight forward.

    Where did you order the tower from. It looks great. Also did the trim ring come with the tower? I read in another post that drilling the tower down involved removing the plastic top but yours sounds like it was just set in place and drill.

    You guys got lucky. I called to ask if they would adjust the price on mine before I drove to the store and they said no. Oh well I'm not too bummed but don't think it's worth my trouble to argue with customer service.

    This is my first kegerator and I just bought my first batch of kegs. I was able to fit 3 ball locks in the fridge. Anybody else have any luck making a 3 tap kegerator for ball locks?

    It's a single tap with a D type connector.

    Igloo Kegerator at Walmart - $369

    The website didn't show inventory for me. I called and checked inventory at my local store. They didn't have any but then I asked if they would check the other stores near me and they had some at a store 30 miles away. Worth the trip for me.
