Haha it might but really it would just be easier. The fridge I have is not bad looking. I think I have my wife onboard. I’ll make it happen.

I went with the nukatap faucet with a stainless shank and all the Evabarrier/duotight fixins. I’m excited. If I can make it look decent enough, I might be able to move it upstairs.

In that case, what would be your faucet recommendation?

Yea that’s the deal that brewhardware has going. It’s intertap with shank, ball lock disconnect, and all Eva/duotight tubing/fittings. I think I’m gonna splurge, though, and build it up on more beer so I can have the nukatap faucet instead of the intertap. For sure going with the evabarrier...

No foaming issues? That’s what’s drawing me to nukatap but saving $25 is also pretty awesome.

I was really hoping to go nukatap but brewhardware has a whole package with an intertap faucet, shank, line, and disconnect for like $70 shipped. Piecing all that out on more beer is like $95 shipped/taxed with a nukatap. Would you guys go cheaper or get the nukatap?

Thanks for this. Makes sense I’ve always carbed cold so I never really thought about it. Just set the pressure and let it do its thing. My goal wasn’t to carbonate, with the pressure thing. Just something I observed.

So all that makes sense but does the regulator being in the fridge at the same 38 degrees change things?

I transferred a stout I fermented with a little pressure (spunding) to a keg a tad early and let it sit for like two months. I pulled a sample and put the spunding valve on just to check the pressure. It was like 10 psi which was just about perfect for this stout. All that was room temp. Not...

I have a chest freezer I use for fermenting. I thought about using the fridge for fermenting and converting the freezer to a keezer but I like being able to use the freezer side of the fridge. So I’m rolling with kegerator, for now.

1) not necessarily how many I want but how many I might potentially have at a time. 2) stuck 4 kegs in there. No problem there. 3) I do carb in the fridge which makes me want to roll with three taps as per golddiggies post. 4) realistically probably 2 at most but that third one could be a...

Do you have a manifold or are you using multiple regulators?

Ok this is a great point. If I did have a fourth keg, it would still have to carb. This is great. I didn’t even think of that part of it. This, combined with Golddiggie’s pretty much seals it for me. Thank you guys. I, likewise, barely have time to brew. I guess if it really came down to it...

So I have a fridge I’ve been using for my kegs in the basement. So far, the kegs have just been in the fridge with one picnic tap between them. The most I have had, so far, is two kegs at a time in the fridge. I got wife approval to convert it to a kegerator. It’s a side by side fridge with the...

This seems like a lot of caution to keep oxygen out (Brooothru, dude, I love your profile pic, btw). Is the payoff really that good? I guess I’ve always associated low oxygen with the cold side not really thinking hot side would be that big an issue as long as you weren’t purposefully slopping...

Thank you! I will probably brew Monday. I probably could use a regular ale yeast of some kind and it be fine but I’m just not sure, this close to date. Maybe I’ll hold back on some of the orange peel and give this yeast a try.

That is encouraging. Did you use Voss?

(Is there not an entire liquor section in this forum?) I’ve always been a whiskey guy. Particularly scotch and bourbon. Not sure why but I just felt compelled to buy this Remy Martin 1738. Never delved into brandy or cognac but man…what have I been missing all this time??? It has an extreme...

Did this ever happen? How did it turn out if so?I had some Halloween plans sprung on me and would love to have a keg ready by then if at all possible.

This is exactly the kind of beer that inspired this thread. I’m not judging anyone for their preference, either. I was just genuinely curious what others thought on this subject. If someone is in it for the high gravity more power to them.
