    Gridmann Stainless Prep Tables:Decent?

    Nice I to have a 30 gallon boil kettle but the way that my vent hood is set up I would not be able to put it on the intended purchase of a 24 x 72. I do mostly 5-gallon batches and an occasional 10 gallon batch or 15 gallon if I can get enough guys to go in with me. The 30 gallon I would likely...

    Finally going to build a keezer!

    I have a 16 tap keezer, and a 5lb co2 and 20cu beergas tank serving 3 taps is perfect for serving pressures. Force carbing you need a 20lb co2 tank.

    Multiple fridges and electrical load balancing

    Fridges are inductive loads, and can draw 2.5-3 times its running current/wattage. Maybe two fridges can run on a single 20A, but 3 I would think it would eventually trip.

    igloo kegerator with 2.5" tower?

    Many ways you can do this. I too have the same issue with a Danby Kegerator with a 2.5" tower. It was originally only designed to have one tap in the tower however I wanted to have two, the only trade off keeping the original tower and not upgrading to a 3-inch Tower is that one of the Taps had...

    Need fan for keezer...

    87A is the NC yellow and 87 is the NO blue. 85 is black and coil ground and 86 is coil positive white. In reality these terminals can be reversed because polarity does not matter. I would suggest using what I state to make it easier for wire colors. 30 is the red wire, and is the constant...

    Need fan for keezer...

    I have this one. Think of a bilge fan, its marine grade, bearings are sealed so moisture degradation is a non issue, its DC so its easy to control the speed vs your AC fan. Not much more expensive than the fan you just ordered. Attwood 1733-4 Blower H20 Resist (White, 3-Inch)...

    Need fan for keezer...

    Here is a video of my fan setup it's a bit lengthy when you look at all three videos but it gives you a good idea of how my system is set up. The bilge fan is a very good option and you can use the speed controller to adjust the amount of flow.

    Need fan for keezer...

    You be better off with a bilge fan, it can handle the 37-40F temps no problem. Add a speed controller you are golden. Exactly what I have

    Airflow?

    I picked up the two fan cold tower yeara ago. Its basically a plastic enclosure box with two birdcage style fans running off 12VDC. The hose has a plastic fitting that secures it to the box. Took a bit of elbow grease to force the hose into the tower, but once done it works well. The small area...

    Airflow?

    LEDs, PSU, wires, all on Amazon. :-) 55mm cooling fans keep the insulated tower same temp as my kegerator box.

    Airflow?

    I got the bilge fan with some 3" pvc pipe. Operates on a speed controller. Fan draws air upward. Probe is wrapped around a can of soda. Temp stays very concistant. 37-40 degrees Fahrenheit.

    Airflow?

    Yes, think convection currents. Cold air sinks, hot air rises. I have mine blowing from bottom to top.

    Insignia 9.9

    If you can't find the diagrams of where the condenser coils are, when you first start up the fridge run it for a few minutes and see what side gets warm. That will give you a good idea of where the coils are located inside the body.

    ANOTHER Basement Brewery Build

    I wouldn't say jackhammering the foundation floor of your house would be cheap. For those that don't have the technical inclination ( by that I mean the willpower to sweat for hours doing said job) that would have been several hundred to thousands be my guess. If you notice on the top left...

    ANOTHER Basement Brewery Build

    Ahh yes I did see those videos! Lots of work! Knowing that info answers my question. With the floor drain you can drain the sink to it without having to install a sink pump. My basement, the sewer stack is close to the ceiling in the basement, and being the sink is lower than that requires a...

    That looks amazing Brian! Question being that it is in your basement did you have to install a utility sink pump for the drain?
