    Help with Sizing - Oetiker (Ear Clamps) with Eva Barrier Tubing

    I need some help before I throw in the towel and go back to worm clamps. First, I cant find any consistent sizing info for the clamps. No site I find has positive info to help find what to order. Bobby's site looks the most promising but still doesnt seem to match other sites or available...

    How to rig up a fan for my keezer?

    I've not been able to find anything definitive saying that cyclopentane is the actual refrigerant. I ASSume it is though based on the big sticker. But most of the references I can find about cyclopentane suggest its used more in the foam insulation process, not as a refrigerant. But until I...

    How to rig up a fan for my keezer?

    I just did a semi-scientific experiment. I read the temp of my AC fan while "cold" at room temperature when it had been off for days. Then I powered it on and let it run for ~15 minutes and read the temp again. I determined a ~7-8 degree Fahrenheit temp increase which seemed surprisingly high...

    How to rig up a fan for my keezer?

    I didn't say this in my post but I'm planning on doing a trial of that using pipe insulation. The downside is that having cooler shanks/faucets results in less foam on the initial pour. So this may (or may not) reduce cycling but could result in a lot of foam until the shanks/faucets cool...

    How to rig up a fan for my keezer?

    That was my experience with my last keezer also. I think its due to the constant air movement over the shanks. Those things are basically heat-sinks. I know they stayed colder when the fans were on. I get the natural conclusion that the heat from the fan running would be the cause. And...

    Its an AC Affinity Axial LS1238.

    How to rig up a fan for my keezer?

    Possibly... No idea how to quantify that. Guessing its not anything to get bent around the axle on though.

    How to rig up a fan for my keezer?

    Understood... Not sure I'd want a much bigger fan in my keezer. This fan isn't as fast as some PC fans I've seen but definitely agree that slowing it down should help. I'll find out soon, my controller should arrive today.

    How to rig up a fan for my keezer?

    I'm definitely getting more noise than anticipated from the AC fan I used. Its not really that loud but there is a noticeable hum; certainly more that I'd like to have. Its not helping the WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor). The model I used is marketed as "quiet" at 32 decibels. According to...

    Fermented hot pepper sauce

    I've wondered about it but havent tried it. Interesting that you say it was easier; it appears harder IMO. But I definitely see the plus for less space... Interested to see any opinions/experiences from this group.

    How to rig up a fan for my keezer?

    LOL... I've read enough posts that had me thinking that may be the case. In my last keezer, I had the probe sandwiched between a water bottle and two koozie layers. To the best of my knowledge, that worked fine. I just cant help but think that having the probe in a thermowell (in a small...

    Thats very clean! What you did with the temp probe is exactly what I'm wanting to do as well. Do you mind sharing info on how thats constructed?

    How to rig up a fan for my keezer?

    In my old keezer that died, I had a PC fan and it worked well. I wired in the female side of the PC board connector to a DC power adapter and just ran the wire between the lid gasket and the top of the keezer. While this seemed to work well, I had to manually unplug the thing if I needed the...

    How to rig up a fan for my keezer?

    Yes, I know this is an old thread. But for anyone looking for info, I mounted an AC muffin fan on the underside of my keezer lid. I also wired a waterproof switch inline so I can easily toggle power on of off when the lid is open for cleaning or swaping kegs.
