Admittedly, I didn’t explore too deeply after I decided to keg. I built a “Craigslist special” picnic tap keezer setup...

    The "I'm pretending to be a Mechanic" thread?

    It takes a lot of initial current to get a starter motor moving. Lights & radio will work but still won’t have enough power to turn starter. Try taking battery to autozone and have load test on battery or jumping it with a running car.

    Perlick Vs Intertap & do I need flow control?

    I’m looking at faucets for my keezer & was about to pull the trigger on perlick 630SS. However after reading more I’m leaning towards the Intertap forward sealing ss faucets. I know Perlick is always called the “gold standard” but Is it really? Also should I spend the extra for flow control...
