Update: I haven't done much more on this. Been lazy, especially as our friends are no longer coming up this weekend so I don't have a deadline. I just test fit the lid, it fits quite well, which means I didn't mess up the measurements too bad. 😁 I'll probably do some more caulking around the...

Lid on test

@kwiley in case you don't realize how to do the math they just did, I'll outline it here quickly. That's a total of 5 gallons. 4/5 gallons is 0.8 (80%), 1/5 gallons is 0.2. So it's 0.8*1.060 + 0.2*1.000 = 1.048. If you instead had, say, 4 gallons of juice at 1.060, and you topped up with 1/2...

Well, I was going to start using RO water, and this thread has finalized my decision to go straight to a home RO system rather than lugging store water to start with.

How big are the CO2 tanks (grams or oz), and how much do refills cost? An adapter probably isn't terribly difficult to source, but I suspect it wouldn't take a lot of paintball tank refills before you reach the price of buying a tank. Prices vary, but in my area with Airgas the purchase of a...

I've done pretty much this myself, as my first keg was full before my first kreezer was built. I think my reg topped out at about 28 psi, but that's pretty close to chart at room temp. I shook at that pressure then left it connected to gas for a day or two while I finished my kreezer. Once I...

Update: The corners don't really line up all that well. Mostly I think this is just my cheap miter saw. In any case I said "screw it" and pushed on ahead. Did I mention I want this operational by Friday? My plan is to find some white 90° trim to put over the corners to hide these. I went ahead...

I have no experience with duotight but we used to use push to generic connect fittings extensively at work. I learned two main things. First, make sure the hose is fully seated, a lot of fittings have a "false bottom" feeling and a lot of new users tend to not fully seat the tube. Second, the...

This is good to do every time. When I keg I already have StarSan in a bottle cause I spray just about everything since it's easier than soaking. And I always spray my keg lid, posts, and PRV after pressurizing a keg to make sure there's no leaks. Also as mentioned above try seating the lid...

Okay, I decided to stick with my original plan of 3.5" high collar and just do the slight mod of cutting the overhanging trim on the freezer. I did a test piece with some scrap where I used spray glue and glued it together. It was hard to hold straight while the glue dried, and I didn't like...
