I bought the beast for $50 bucks, it came with the keg and the surprise perlick draft tower. It runs, and the only thing I'll have to replace is the inner door, door handle and door gasket. I think I have a source for the door handle and gasket already lined up, and the inner door I'll fab...

So I've been wanting to build a ferm chamber and add a second tap to my existing kegerator, but my tendency to over engineer everything has become a problem. I designed a great ferm chamber with multiple zones, but when I priced it out it was about 400 bucks, not what I am prepared to spend at...

Don't even get me started on those m-fers!!! They go down our alley constantly and dig through the trash leaving crap all over the place. My buddy had his AC unit stolen, it was only a year old. Then there's the guy in KY who died trying to steal copper from a live transformer and his family...

you don't happen to have access to R-22 refrigerant too do you?

My bad, I thought of giving you a buzz! I think I've ruled out the un brazing because of yuri's point about uncooperative metals, there's a way around it anyway, just had to take a look from a different perspective.

I have a project in mind for my ferm chamber but it might involve "un brazing" a few copper joints. I heated the joints up with MAPP gas and it didn't budge. Can you take brazed copper joints apart like soldered joints or no?? I've had no problem "soldering stainless" to get my keggles up and...

Further evidence why when people ask me where I'm from I say Kansas (born there) even though I live in Ohio.

I get to Chicago every other week for work so I figured I'd see if there were any places worth a special trip. I stay out in Hoffman Estates and my office is in the Schaumburg area. THANKS!

I'd use at least a lb, it's cheap insurance against a stuck mask. It does nothing to your beer, no flavor or color added, just helps in filtering the mash.

Secondary can also be called a clearing or bright tank for us home brewers. There are a couple schools of thought on the use of a secondary. I for one leave my beer in the primary for at least 4 weeks, then either bottle or keg. On the rare occasion I am adding flavoring, vanilla bean etc. I...

I'm getting ready to upgrade my crappy faucet on my kegerator to a perlick and would like to add a 2nd faucet while I'm at it. My regulator has also seen better days so I'll be replacing at least the gauges on it as well. How would I set things up to be able to dial in individual pressures...

Long story short there's no need to be a Dick. Revy doesn't have 30,000 posts because he pulls things out of his ass to make Newbs feel inferior. If you can stomach some reading and learn something about your new found hobby you'll find he's actually pretty helpful. Since you did finally...

Not a bad idea to check for leaks, but the CO2 will go into solution at room temps, it just takes a while. Think of it like this, you hit it with 30 psi and leave it. When you bottle it's not 30 psi coming out when you crack the top is it? And you bottle condition at room temps, or slightly...

I don't read reviews, most of the time I get recommendations by the guys in the bottle shops when I pick up something. Great Lakes Brewing Co's Lake Erie Monster was freaking amazing, too bad it's a seasonal limited release!

I see a lot of people using the 20 dollar space heaters.

I have 12, had 20 but sold 8 to recoup some costs of my Electric system. Now I just need to get the parts to actually use em!

It's probably just beer scale. Just use the BKF and the scrubbie as others said and you'll be good to go. BKF is great to remove any rust as well, it's handy to have around.

I have one because I travel a lot for work (4-5 days a week) and it's not practical for me to be around to shake the starter when I am home. also +1 on the 2 year old running around. I usually put it on the stir plate sunday night and have the SWMBO throw it in the fridge Monday night. When I...

you missed the excitement, mods did the right thing and took down the post.

Yep, it worked as described! Now to figure out the control panel wiring so I can use it without the panel, that's a whole other ball game but at least I figured out how to bypass the bucket full sensor. FYI it's the guts from a dehumidified that the fan shot craps on so I'm using it for the...
