I have a fan in my keezer and it doesn't seem to help the condensation. Be sure your seams and seals are all as air tight as possible, and avoid opening your keezer as much as possible. The condensation comes from humidity making it's way into the keezer. I don't have a link handy but many...

I'm curious if any of the top-freezer fridges have wiring, coolant lines, etc., in the freezer floor dividing it from the lower fridge. With the huge number of available similar units, I've considered picking one up with the goal of combining the freezer and fridge into a single open...

Any pictures of how you set up behind the taps? Details on temp controls, assuming top freezer and lower fridge are set to the same temps? I've been wondering how best to set the freezer and fridge temps to the same point, to enable using a top freezer without setting the taps down low by the...

Good find! I'll look into that. Maybe I can squeeze some test hops out of them for a sample batch!

Looks great so far! I think the galvanized steel or iron pipe towers folks have done would look good against the barnwood boards. Something like these: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=572875 https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=542066

Epoxy + rivets! :mug:

I didn't add foam to the front of the coffin around the taps simply because of space. I bought the thicker foam and it would block airflow from the fan to the faucet shanks. There is foam on the back panel that comes off the coffin, and all joints are caulked. The fan is always on, so my...

@MusicalBrewer - Here's my final setup. Nothing fancy at all, I put a 4" PC fan in the tower pulling up, and another 4" fan in the floor of the keezer (I used long screws as posts to keep it 2" off the floor). With just the coffin fan, it kept temps 10-12 deg higher than the freezer temp. I...

The keezer is finally complete- poured my first beer this weekend. The brew (SNPA clone) isn't quite ready but I got impatient and had to pour one. Another week (hopefully less) on CO2 and it should be on point. :tank: I will say this: I wish I had gone with a 7cuft freezer so that I could...

I live in Jacksonville FL and would like to grow some hops of my own, but the FL heat is brutal for most of the year. Are there any varieties that are better at tolerating the heat? Any other folks in this area who can pass on experience? :mug: Looking at all these photos of you guys up...

First pour on my recently completed keezer. Brew is a SNPA clone. I couldn't wait any longer and poured at 6 days on 10psi, lacking a little carb but good overall. Bumped it to 12psi and hopefully it'll be on point in a few more days.

Now you're talkin! :rockin:

Hmm. Mine is a manual turn-knob control, but so was my freezer that I converted to use an ITC-1000 controller. Shouldn't have any issue wiring it up to work. I like the location also, and how you paired it with a functional wine fridge. That would make my wife happy. :mug:

The temp range stated is 15F-150F. I understand it will become more rigid at a lower temp and more pliable at a higher temp, but I highly doubt it would become so brittle at fridge temps to the point to not being able to handle 12PSI. This stuff is designed for beverage use, which most...

Nice work! Did your fridge originally have a digital or manual/knob temp control? I didn't realize that even with a temp controller, the wine fridges could get that cold. Makes sense that the compressor and all is the same as a regular fridge, just using a different thermostat. I might have...

So tell us, why is the thin walled 3/16" not appropriate for beverage line use? I don't see the logic here. I just bought a roll that I guess is thin walled 3/16", but it's actual beverage line rated to 55PSI, most I'll ever be running is 12PSI. I understand the need for thick wall/high PSI...

This is what I ended up getting. Will have it on the keezer by the weekend and I'll be sure to report back with a review for you guys. Can't beat the price, hopefully it doesn't taint the beer. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E6BCXQ8/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

Just ordered a 100' of 3/16" for $10.30!

Beer line is $1/ft at my LHBS, I'll just order some online. Off tastes are something I definitely don't want. Thanks

Hey folks, I was wondering if anyone uses the clear vinyl hose/water lines from Home Depot for beer line. It doesn't necessarily say beverage line, but I'm assuming it's what's used for fridge water lines and the like. Would this stuff be ok to use for beer lines?
