I've been perusing the forums, checked out Kal's site, some instructables, etc. I think I have a pretty solid plan that I want to run by the experts and make sure I'm not crazy. I also need some help with the electrical, seeing as my experience there is limited to minor projects, simple house...

Sold. Thanks for the interest. I have the beginnings of a converted chest freezer that I need to sell. There is a 8" wooden collar mounted with 2 holes drilled for shanks. The temperature controller is installed and you can set it to whatever temp you want. The keezer also has casters...

The SWMBO and I are hosting a friends thanksgiving and I want to brew 10-15 gallons for the shindig. I'm an extract brewer and I'm looking at a pumpkin ale but was wondering if there were any other standbys that you guys loved with turkey. Thoughts? Thanks!

Finally posting an update. Actually got the thing in serviceable condition about 6 months ago, but life got in the way of HBT. Partially finished, in the brew closet. It works but I want to make it look nicer, add a tap and drip tray. Inside. There's room for 3 kegs and 5# of CO2...

Thanks for all the info. We'll see how it all turns out. If the current plan doesn't pan out I'll have to sort out something else. I'll report back tonight with more info.

Soooooooo, I got home all pumped to prove you guys wrong and put this thing together and have it be awesome. Unfortunately, you guys get to say 'I told you so' because those stupid QD's were loose like my high school girl friend and leaked all over the place. I did hook up one of the actual...

ehhhhhh. maybe i did ignore that. maybe i didnt know the difference between the two. either way, i guess ill swing by HF on the way home today and pick up some of those. im not expecting the precision of a $50-70 regulator from a $10 one. I did go and pick up some check valves, washers...

Not ignored, just unknown. I see something that says "Air Regulator" I assume it regulates the air. Would this piece regulate pressure and not just the flow? Helping getting rid of the 800lb gorilla rather than just pointing at it would be appreciated. j.

the rest of the parts showed up today. I'll have two kegs on the regulators tonight and will do further testing. I tested the QD's and moved them all around with no noticeable leaks. It's important to realize there are 2 different types of air tool QDs, Industrial and Automotive and they...

pictures. more parts should get here in the next day or so. initial tests went well. Keg regulators Distributor Assembled Full View Larger images on my flickr feed. Will post updates after I hook this bad boy up to some kegs.

no worries. i force carb because i cant wait. :tank: i am missing check valves, but until i find some im willing to risk back flow.

Like i said, I force carb, so I need to be able to set individual kegs at higher pressures. e.g. Primary Regulator on the tank set at 35 One force carbing keg set at 35 Two on tap kegs set at 10

Maybe. It's a simple dial regulator marked in 5psi increments, shouldn't be that hard to set it at 10psi.

My keezer will hold 3 kegs in a pinch, so I needed a distributor. I also force carb so I needed to be able to set pressures for each keg. Supplies from Harbor Freight and Home Depot Item List (from regulator to keg): 3/8 to 1/4 reducer - $1.79 - HF#93605 3 Way Quick Connect (QC)...

awesome. google was failing me because I was searching for "washer" and not "gasket" thanks guys.

Picked up a flip top growler off of CL and I need a replacement washer for the top. Anyone know where I can find one? John

I resealed the bucket and reseated the blowoff and it now appears to be bubbling happily away. I guess my question still stands, in regards to the weird taste, is my brew bad? john

I brewed up the ol' smokey recipe from BrewMasters this past weekend and I'm worried I messed it up. I've been doing extract kits and have been doing pretty well so far, but this was the first time I've used liquid yeast and I'm not sure if I used it right. Saturday 10/2: I brewed up the...

I'm still waiting on installing them, my stupid shanks haven't come in yet. :( Should be getting them today/tomorrow. Will let you know. The seller I got them from was in PA somewhere. John

very cool
