    Kegerator stopped cooling! :-( Relay or freon leak?

    I have revived my 2 chest freezers with this valve, a can of auto refrigerant and 20 min time. 2 yrs now and still cool faster than my new chest freezer. You tube video, check it out. I just put in an order for 3 of these valves and the company sent me 3 boxes equals 36 valves . I have extras.

    Keezer Life Expectancy Question

    I have 4 , 2 large and 2 small , all from 1994 -95. I have them up on 2x4 to allow air underneath and good venting on the sides . They have been all running since 95 only disconnected this spring when we moved then plugged in as soon as possible .

    Keezer Life Expectancy Question

    When they sit idle too long then the compressor locks up. My 2 large and 2 small chest freezers are on inkbird controllers even if they are empty. I set them a few degrees below room temp so they are cost effective.

    Keezer Life Expectancy Question

    My small fermentation keezer was not cooling as well last summer. I bought a bullit piercing valve from Supplyhouse.com and got it back up running cold in less than 10 minutes for about $10. A can of auto AC refrigerant and hose adapter is all you need. Many YouTube videos on how to revive your...

    OMG, not another brewing water thread

    There is a state park not too far from me , where I hunt . The water there is from springs or wells within the park . I’ll look into what the water makeup is and bring back 15 gallons for the next brew day. The water always tasted good but I’m sure it is chlorinated. Then that will lead to all...

    Petition to have generalized "Is my water OK" and "Is my water profile OK" related posts moved away from Brew Science

    So is this a water forum? Just got my water report for my well water that was run through a softener then analyzed. What should I add and how much to brew an Amber lager. I always brew 10 gallons at a time . Is there anything that is high? Sodium perhaps? Thanks
