After painting, and some better pictures of them. I have supplies to make more would anyone be interested in these?

I finally made tap handles for my dad. They are a very late xmas present... This is pre-clear coat, the middle dark one is not as dark now. What do you guys think?

Hey guys i could use some help here. Im in the process of trying to wire in an STC 1000 type controller. Im having some difficulty with the wiring, mainly the old relic wiring still in the fridge. I am somewhat familiar with standard household wiring, just need some help with this fridge's...

Well I started taking a few pieces off yesterday. Here is what I have so far. This is the hotpoint fridge. There is rust on the fridge sides (Both sides) down were the floor of the inside is. There is also rust where the door seal comes in contact with the body, in a seam there. Undid the...

PERFECT! Thank you! Proper wording is everything it seems!

Hey guys i have been having trouble finding the part that I want. I did a lot of searching and read this whole thread but could not find it. I'm looking for a coupling that is 3/8-16 for the tap handle that is not hex on the outside. I found them in stainless, but I want standard mild...

The retainer ring is fairly easy to re install. Check out this . You can also wrap each jaw of the pliers with electrical tape if you dont want to scratch your keg. Good luck, I like this idea!

I started a welches white grape wine about 7 days ago. Seems to be fermenting well but with less foam than usually. I think I read somewhere that this is a low foaming yeast so that is pretty nice. Been moving it from garage to house to keep it in the high 50s. Went up to 64 for about 12 hrs...

Its been almost a year, any updates on how this turned out?

Awesome thanks! A general beginning question, is the wine usually racked off the lees after its done fermenting? The batch of welches that i did sat on the yeast for a month or so, and after i read that your supposed to rack it off within a few days of fermenting or something like that. Just...

Hey wine makers! I just received 10 packets of Lalvin ICV D47 yeast from my coworker. It says its good for whites and meads, but can I make a fruit wine with it? It has a best by date of 2/2015 and i am pretty sure he said it was in his fridge, so it should still be pretty good. He made some...

I haven't seen any wash their grapes. It would just introduce water, which would dilute the wine if left on the fruit, and would probably produce a mold or mildew if tried to dry in the bins that are commonly used. Pretty sure they just pick and press.

Just found this thread and read the whole thing. I have a very similar fridge waiting for me to take it home form work. Boss was going to throw it away and i asked if i could have it, now its mine! Have to sell my motorcycles to fit it in the garage though, and a little clean up will be...

Very true and im hoping thats what the problem is. I made a single stage one for my current kegerator with the same exact problem. It was pretty easy.

So i checked it out while i was at work today. The freezer section was at about 10F and the fridge section at about 30 to 40. I didn't leave the thermometer in the fridge section as long, and i had opened and closed it a few times, so i think its probably high 30's. That was with the...

Awesome guys, thanks for the inspiration. Work said i could keep them there for a while. Also gunna pressure wash them out, since they both work they may as well both be used right? I plugged in the hotpoint today around 9am, ill go in there tomorrow and check the temp and see if its running or...

After some though i think im defiantly going with the Hotpoint. It just has a much cooler look. Ill have to get a kill a watt meter thing and hook it up and see how it does. Hopefully they will let me store it there until i have a spot cleared in my garage for it. Ill talk with work on Friday...

I dry hop in a keg with pellet hops. I put all my pellet hops in a sanitized muslin bag along with 5 or 6 sanitized clean smooth glass marbles. Then i tie the bag shut, then tie non waxed non flavored sanitized floss around the bag then tie the other end to the lid of the keg so that the bag is...

To get a few more hours at work while during the school year i offered to clean up some the old buildings on the property. I came across two older fridges. One a hot point and the other an admiral. They are both built like the mini fridges of today as in they just have one compartment, and no...

I made the original one and it worked great. Simple and effective, thanks!
