Hey Schumed, how well do hopps survive around here in the KCMO area? Our weather isn't very accomodating to most plants in the winter. I've been thinking of getting a couple starts going but am not really sure if it's something you replant every year or if it will die off and regrow.

I'm sure you already got yours figured out but I just bought the VCT VM1225 Universal 12V DC & 2.5 Amp Switching AC to DC Converter / Class 2 Power Supply Eva-dry E-500 Renewable Wireless Mini Dehumidifer and Attwood Quiet Blower (White, 4-Inch) THEORETICALLY that power adapter...

Ok, thanks for all your help. It's not pretty yet, but it's fully functional. I had a pint of Altbier and a pint of IPA fresh from the tap and it was so delicious. I got 3 standard taps and a stout tap installed. The stout tap won't see use though till this weekend when the Beavr Nuts Peanut...

Condensation shouldn't be a HUGE issue since it's not going to be below freezing but it's certainly not going to help anything. I know I need airflow to the coffin to keep the tap lines cool. Do I need to worry about forcing air up there or should the holes be enough?

Ok, that makes sense. Most of the build pics I'd seen had the wiring coming in under the plastic seal on the lid (as you can see on the pic I included in my last post). That seemed like it would create a gap for air to escape thus decreasing efficiency.

That all helps quite a bit. The plastic that lines the top of my freezer is curved for whatever reason. I'm likely to have to cut that out and add a layer of the pink insulation sheathing, then put plywood on both the outside and the inside to allow for a solid connection between the top and...

If it helps, the type of info I'm looking for is: Where is it safe to insert the thermometer end of the temp control? How do you mount the tower/coffin to the top in the most stable fashion? Maybe other things that aren't even occuring to me.

I think right now the "coffin" at the top seems like my best bet. it leaves the versatility for eventually upgrading to a more decorative cabinet. Any links to generic plans for that sort of thing?

OK, I picked up an old deep freeze and a temp control system. it's big enough to hold 6 corny kegs plus two 20# gas tanks. If I don't plan on throwing a fancy wood frame on it, and since it's tall enough not to need a collar, are there any special steps I'd need to take if I wanted to run the...

I actually have that very filter. I occasionally do some airbrush work for modeling and you need that to prevent moisture in the line. Now I wouldn't use the compressed air to drink the beer. I'm going to have to open the keg to make sure all the cleaner is out of the bottom, correct...

I have a pretty small CO2 tank and I'd rather not use it up to push cleaner thru the system if I don't have to. To that end I've rigged up a fitting to go from my air compressor to the gas line on the keg so I can push normal air in to run the cleaner. Provided the pressure isn't too high is...

How about like a barleywine or something of that nature?
