    I am planning on building my keezer here pretty soon. I have seen all kinds of designs on here and am milling some things over in my head. I dont really want (nor am I capable) of building anything fancy like so many of you have (jealous by the way) and just am looking to do some basic...

    beer faucets

    Is having an all stainless steel faucet better than a chrome plated faucet with brass internal levers? The price difference is not all that much but was wondering if all stainless is a far better product? Any ideas on this?

    Yes, another 5.0 cu foot keezer

    craigslist for the freezer and amazon for the johnson controller. Make sure to get at least a 5.0, hard to fit 2 kegs in a 3.6 cuft freezer, besides unless you get lucky on craigs list they are more expensive than the 5.0

    kegerator supplies

    I have been looking on the internet. We have a good supply store where I am from but they are expensive even when you calculate shipping. So far I have been seeing about $150 for the set up for 3 taps

    Yes, another 5.0 cu foot keezer

    I just got myself a 5.0 cuft freezer too, but I can only fit 2 kegs in it, can you get a picture of the inside so I can see how you are arranging your kegs? I have 2 5 gal corny kegs, are you using something different? I have not heard of epoxy paint, did you have to brush it on or is it...

    Messed question

    There is only one dial on the thermost, I made sure the sensor was not against the wall and more in the center of the freezer and moved the thermometer away from the walls as well. Since beer does have some alcohol in it, what is the approxamate freezing temp of beer, I like my beer cold and...

    Messed question

    After plugging in the Johnson and having it set at 38 degrees, the temp in my freezer went down to 33 degrees right away I know there is some variance but that is 4 degrees in a short 20 minute period or so

    Brew day!

    Howdy neighbor! This is my third batch so I am still working with extracts and specialty grains. I brewed the first two for others now it's my turn. I found a Stone IPA clone off the net and am following it fairly close but splitting the batch in half and dry hopping with two different types...

    Messed question

    That's what I was figuring, seems counter productive to use the coldest setting in a freezer

    Messed question

    I just got my Johnson's Control thermostat for my keezer and the instructions say turn your refridgerator to the coldest setting. Is this the same for a freezer or do i need it on the warmest setting for the freezer?
