Finally convinced the wife to issue a po for a garage kegerator project. I spent some time scouring craigslist and visiting random strangers until settling on this Whirlpool 18 cubic foot freezer top refrigerator. I removed the interior shelving and built a single shelf to support the corny...

Ahh yes, that's it! Thanks!

Alright I'll just give it a try.

I received my regulator today and I have a question about how it seals to the cylinder. The regulator has an O-ring at the input connector, but taped to the packaging is a small nylon bushing. The instructions don't mention the bushing at all, what am I supposed to do with it?

Are you guys mashing all the grains for 75 minutes, or holding some out for a bit?

Only if you have a new muffler bearing.

Yikes, I was planning to run 12' lines, maybe I'll be rethinking that! Luckily this stuff is reasonably priced. Also, for those interested I've found a 1/4 tubing by female 1/4 flare fitting to plumb my co2 side with these John Guest style fittings. It's made by Parker and the part number is...

That's a great idea, I'll have to break out the tape measure tonight!

The only thing I don't like is he's stepping the tubing down to 1/4 at each connection. Meaning 2 possible leak points per connection instead of 1. I guess I could run 5/16 OD gas line with John Guest fittings.

I haven't decided on a regulator yet, and I was all set to order the red gas line with flare swivel nuts & clamps but I really like that John Guest setup in that thread. Think I'll go that route instead.
