    Freezer issue

    The frost building up is due to an improper seal where the probe wire goes in. Air is leaking in. If the probe is in free air, it is not sensing the liquid temp of your kegs. Placing the probe in water or against one of your kegs with some foam insulation over it will provide a better temp...

    Blichmann Beer Gun V2 vs Last Straw w/ Foamless Finish

    Yes, I got a secondary regulator added to my CO2 tank. Right now I have a blueberry honey Amber ale sitting in the secondary fermenter, my hope is to carbonate it and get a few bottles. The Keg pressure I'm setting to 5 PSI and the CO2 wand to 12 PSI. I've also found that a little bit of keg...

    Hello northeastern corner of the state! Yes def, still need to explore the home brew scene! Found the paper on Amazon, pretty cheap, even came with multi color chalk sticks. bought three of them with a bit left over. Didn't do the back side, just the lid, sides, and front...

    No worries, had the same issue with my lid. Some gasket foam material later and a thing of damp-rid, all fixed!

    A quick update. Added the chalkboard paper to the entire keezer. Ordered a 16 tap wall mount stainless tray with rinser. After test fitting all the 5 gallon ball lock kegs i can only fit 14. However I beleive it will be possible to have two small 2.5 or 3 gallon kegs with carbonated water and...

    Blichmann Quick Carb Review

    I would tend to agree. I did hit the keg again for about 3 minutes at 20 psi. That got the carbonation to where it needs to be for a porter. The chart Blichmann gives you I dont think is very accurate. Either that or the temp increase from circulation really throws off the numbers, or their...

    Only used one 12VDC PSU. Maybe you were thinking of two 12VDC circuits for the fan and lights?

    Blichmann Quick Carb Review

    Got the blichmann quick carb for Christmas from my wife, sister-in-law and father-in-law. The image you see here was after I fixed a few leaks. Overall I would highly recommend this product as there's no risk of over carbonating your beer. My first batch that I used on it is a custom-made...

    Keezer is back online! Added some more mods below. Ill post a video soon on the progress. 1. One magnetic switch using the Normally Open side, controlling a SPDT changeover relay. With the lid open, the LED light strip is on, fan is off. With the lid closed, LED is off, fan is on. Ill put some...

    Northwestern CT 22.3cu/ft Keezer Build

    Installed the collar permanently today. About 1.5 tubes of clear silicone caulk. Used aluminum tape on the top lip to have a clean mating surface with the lid seal. Added some 3/4" by 5/16 foam tape around the top lip to get a very good seal since it was not exactly perfectly flat. I confirmed...

    Blichmann Beer Gun V2 vs Last Straw w/ Foamless Finish

    Thank you for the feedback James! I actually bought the Last Straw from Northern Brewer with the foamless finish. I'm still dialing in the pressures. When I bottled a few of my Imperial Stouts I got a little bit of foam, but that is because I was using a CO2 splitter line for the keg and also...

    Test fitted the collar today, and cut the top pipe to length. Will need to add a thin layer of rubber at the lid seal and collar seem. Few places it is not quiet as level to make a good seal. Easy fix. Added aluminum tape to the top edge for sealing purposes. Leaving the collar wood natural...

    I have bluetooth speakers on each end of my bar, and not to mention that I have a 3000 watt PA system. Two 1x18 subs, two 1x15H, and three 1x15H floor monitors. I used to be in a band, tried selling the stuff but no one wanted to pay a fair price. Rather than get hosed I kept the system. Thanks...

    I got a 360 watt PSU at 12VDC, so 30A. I was definitely planning on putting some LEDs under the lid for light! Dude you have a stereo in there?! Thats nuts! I do like the cup holder though! Made some progress today. Added 2" casters with brakes on them. The unit already had studs for a caster...
