Hey, I never posted my solution: I've now got one of McMaster Carr 1986K5 in each of my 425s. When I let go of the handle at any position, it automatically closes. $5.91 for six of them

This is a grteat thread at a great forum! Just ordered one from Mike for my Perlick 425s. A question and a couple of thoughts: 1.] the bottling wands in the vids have no check valve at the bottom. Why not use a wand with check valve on bottom instead of turning handle on and off, on and...

Been using the mcmaster silicone rings for a couple years. Work great. I do have one keg which the lid does not fit at all well. It hits metal on metal b4 the o-ring seats. It is like the lid it too big for the opening. Any ideas? Maybe a williams ring will work on this...?

There are a lot of other dollars and elbow grease that go into a keezer. My brand new kenmore 8.8 was only 1/4 of the overall cost. Don't skimp on the base unit and waste 3/4 of the cost.

I read "lately" to read as if 1/2 C had worked well in the past. A lot of the folk here keg/bottle weeks before I call fermentation complete. Residual undigested sugars also contribute to final CO2. If that has changed, it could contribute as well.

:mug: That's my approach! Low work, high reward.:tank:

yeast still alive? sterilization left in the casks?

8.8 kenmore, 4 loose on floor, 2 on hump! 4 taps, room for 2 conditioning

8.8 cuft Keezer right next to the wives chair so she can get me a draft easier.... LOL. Out in the breeseway connecting the house to the garrage. Got down to 20°F last winter, moved it into the living room for the winter.

Chill so they dont gush when you : dump back into secondary and let fermentsation complete there. Rebottle. or store in covered buckets.

I looked and looked for this as well. couldn't even find it on the used market. Ended up with a new Kenmore 8.8. glad I did. If you're really looking to put six (6) inside, the little bit of extra room inside is nice for getting one in and out with 5 others in there. i've got a feeling that...

No confirmation of matl, but, I've been using one in each of 5 kegs for about 6 months now. My beer belly has grown some......

LOL! :tank:

just cought the dirty jobs ep and yahoo'd Sternworth Privilege and viola, homebrewtalk was the first link. You guys were already on it! Whodathunkit.

got 5 flowing in the keezer, 1 empty in the lineup, 1 reserved for rum swizzles. primary and secondary in carboys. I do bottle a few from each batch for traveling.

5 gal bucket, coreny inside, add ice and insulating blanket, add picknic tap, and this wonderful accessory: http://www.brewersdiscount.com/item5049.ctlg Great combo for a picnik, bonfire, tailgate, camping, you name it!

I called dwyer and talked to tech support. they suggested an alternative that was in stock for about same price. got it in three days

Not all perlicks are forward sealing. Not all forward sealing perlicks are the easiest to clean. The perlick 425 and 525 are great. The 425 is easier to clean. cheers!

how are you keeping it cold while dispensing, in a kegerator, fridge, ice bucket? how are you going to dispense it, picnic tap, faucet?

Bottle in 16oz swing tops. 5 tabs in each.
