    R600 / R600a / IsoButane

    You have the inkbird which is very similar to to the Johnson Controls 421 I have. Copied from your instruction manual below, you can set the compressor delay with this controller as well. Start with 3 minute delay 5.3 Compressor Delay (PT) Under refrigeration mode, after power on, if the...

    R600 / R600a / IsoButane

    Long as you dont short cycle it you should be fine. The johnson controls twmp unit has an anti short cycle delay feature. I set mine to 3 minutes. Its insurance.

    Haier 7.1 cu ft keezer dead...

    Thats bad, compressor is probably seized. Need to check the start and run winding resistances. It can also be the relay is simply seized too, putting all the power to the start windings and not switching to the run winding. Bad capacitor possible too. Look for bulging at the end vent. Hard to tell.

    Haier 7.1 cu ft keezer dead...

    Maybe too short a delay yes. Mine is set to 3 min, and 37-40 degrees. Holds temp well beyond that so its more insurance. You sure the compressor is getting power? Has the thermal relay tripped? There should be a thermal breaker on the compressor that is part of the relay that energizes the...

    Haier 7.1 cu ft keezer dead...

    What temp controller? If Johnson Controls, do you have the ASD feature turned on? At least 3 minutes? Anti Short Cycle Delay FYI Often times compressors burn out because this setting is not set correctly, or absent all together.

    Size of CO2 tank

    16 tap keezer with a 5 pound co2 for me. Serves all 16 kegs, maybe get a keg or two more before it needs refilling. Also got a 20cu/ft nitro beergas tank for one tap.

    Northwestern CT 22.3cu/ft Keezer Build

    Nope, it was an error. Listed as an 'add-on.' Bought 8 of them at the lower price, YOINK! They fixed it after myself and a friend ordered 14 between us!

    Northwestern CT 22.3cu/ft Keezer Build

    Scored one hell of a deal on the remaining eight shanks. Of course when I ordered the lot of them, the vendor corrected the price. Way higher than my local homebrew store at $14.59 each. I like the $5.83 way better!

    Glass Rinser for Keezer--need ideas on water storage inside keezer

    Possible, but would need to turn on based on drop of the water line pressure. Be better off with a 1.1gpm on demand pump. Oem they come with 35psi pressure switch, but you need 15psi max for a glass rinser or you blow out the seals. I put a 15psi pressure seitch that is adjustable to dial in...

    Glass Rinser for Keezer--need ideas on water storage inside keezer

    You can get a 1.1GPM 12VDC pump instead to run the rinser like mine. Its not cold water, its room temp. 5 gallon for the supply, 7 gallon for the drain.

    First time use keezer

    Its very acidic and will eat away at the chrome plating. BLC is not as acidic and cleans real well. Just been my experience.

    First time use keezer

    Ran BLC through everything once it was assembled. No star san or any super caustic cleaner as my shanks and faucets are chrome plated brass. Unless you spent the bennies on stainless steel hardware, do not use star san!

    For those using Attwood Blowers in their Keezers, what is their longevity?

    Yes i keep a very slow apeed to have circulation, i increase the speed when serving since the air is drawn from below, hits the lid, and floats over the tap shanks keeping them cold. Plenty of condensation on the faucets outside. No foaming issues at all with 12psi and 10.5ft 3/16 lines!

    For those using Attwood Blowers in their Keezers, what is their longevity?

    Running at a VERY slow speed with a PWM controller. Run it at 50% when serving at parties. 4 months going atrong!

    Outside CO2 tank storage/mounting ideas

    Yessir! Mine is scrap wood too mounted to the collar. Check out my build thread for more pics!

    Outside CO2 tank storage/mounting ideas

    Simple 2x4 and 2x10, though you dont need 2x10 for the shelf itself. Keep in mind that you can buy for about $35 the actual CO2 tank holder which can be wall mounted. https://www.micromatic.com/co2-gas-cylinders-and-tanks-for-beer-dispensing/5lb-gas-cylinder-holder-5lbch-1989

    Northwestern CT 22.3cu/ft Keezer Build

    Keezer is online with 8 taps! Custom drip tray came in last week and slowly been assembling the keezer after work. At this point I only have10 kegs total. 8 kegs in the keezer, 2 in the kegerator. It works out since half the keezer has 6 milk crates of bottles, cans, growlers etc :-) So plan is...
