A small amount of bleach would do the trick.

Leinenkugel's around 92. Hardly an amazing beer by my standards today, but it was the first amber commonly available in bars around here and way ahead of the Bud and Milwaukee's Best phases. After that things got fuzzy (college and all), but early standouts were Red Hook Double Black Stout...

Check where the generic soda is, they often come in 3 liter bottles. Grocery store, walmart, dollar city, etc. Search the soda making forum, there's lots of info there on making your own for a 3 liter bottle.

I use a squarish plastic bin with a lid I could easily cut. I wanted one that held more than a gallon, fit front to back leaving as much left over on the sides as possible, and would fit under my freezer shelf. I took a few measurements and looked around places until eventually I found one...

I've seen others do both, I drilled a hole. Lowe's has a bin of free samples for blue 'touch safe' insulation which I used to fill any gap rather than spray insulation. That way if I need to remove the hose for some reason I can. When you say "through the wall" of the keezer I hope you mean...

Definitely worth pointing out that you should NOT use ethylene glycol. I specifically said the "pink RV version", but updated to specify Propylene glycol which is not nearly as toxic as ethylene glycol (like you'd put into a car radiator). Hmm, wikipedia even says it's used in oral...

Yes. Several folks (including me) have but typically for longer run. Mine is 10' from fridge to faucet, plus loops. There's an awesome thread on using copper pipe as a passive cooling solution for a tower attached directly to a fridge. I'd try that first since it's cheap, easy, and should be...

I have the Carbonator Cap I use on PET bottles (tonic mostly). Like the OP I'd like to have the soda 'on tap'. Thoughts on if this would work, and if it does would it be worthwhile: 1 Carbonator Cap 1 rigged up dip tube 1 gas ball lock disconnect (hooked to CO2 like you'd expect) 1 cobra tap...

As something to salvage parts from $75 is decent. Tower, faucet, reg, especially the CO2 tank if it has a current test. I have no idea how long they last before they need to be retested or if that's an issue for you, around here it's all tank swap for refills. I'll let others weigh in on...

Agreed, build a box if you can't wait to return/swap for the parts you need.

Yes, for most folks 3/16" and 10' trimmed down is conventional wisdom and the right solution. Let me rephrase: If you need to use 1/4 ID for example because you want a certain brand to avoid off tastes or because your taps aren't next to your cooler, then 20' of 1/4" is the conventional...

+1 to start with more, then trim. I just set up my system, and I went through the math, and calculated I'd need just over 20' of 1/4 ID tubing. Set it up, it pours great. I've learned since then that 20' of 1/4 ID is pretty much the conventional wisdom here. You may want to refine your...

I would say yes, mostly because of the beer spaying everywhere which I experience with creamer mode. I have a stout faucet as well. I've not used it yet, but I think the long nozzle on the stout faucet keeps it in more of a stream. I serve the perlicks at 11+PSI with a very balanced system...

I got a pair of the 575SS, but have no experience with other perlicks and am interested in what others might say. I've played around with them, but haven't found the creamer really useful. My real life experiences: - The creamer action will spray beer everywhere if you don't have the faucet IN...

I have the taprite. For the fairly minor price difference, I felt these were worth it: Built in gasket (no need for nylon washer) Better looks (mine are highly visible) No need for a screwdriver You can get rebuild kits

I hate you. Better tap handle than I will ever have, and I'm a wee bit jealous. Amazing.

Mine is a wall mount with 12 inches from the center of the tap to the top of the tray. Space for a wheat beer glass (or anything else) under the perlicks. The stout faucet extends maybe 2 inches lower, so you want to keep that in mind. I based this on the specs for drip trays with backs and...

Maybe I missed this, but how long is the run outside of the keezer? Does it keep the beer cold enough (ie no foam on the first pour)? I have a similar setup with a 10' insulated run to the taps. I had issues keeping the beer in the line cold enough until I moved the glycol to a freezer and...

My August order, which included a couple Perlick 575SS faucets (not listed on the site) and a couple regulators showed up as expected.
