Thanks! I will have to put up some finished photos soon. I am able to fit 3 cornies and a tank no problem. I could move the tank to the outside and fit 4 but I like having everything together and contained. Besides, I opted for 2 taps. I have a hard enough time keeping kegs full to feed...

I think I started with a very similar kegerator. I ended up putting a wood on the outside. Here is a link to my build: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/wood-covered-kegerator-build-267001/index3.html

I have been reading a lot of the posts on making cheese and am very excited to start making some. I just have a couple of quick questions: What is the maximum temperature for making cheese? The reason I ask is because my house is usually in the mid 70s and dry all year round (Tucson, AZ)...

Thanks for all the input! Do you guys think I need 1/2" nipples to fit the silicone hose or can I just put it over the 1/2" threads? I am going to use a clamp either way.

I just got a March pump for my birthday and now I need some quick disconnects to set everything up. I was looking to put it together in a toolbox like I have seen in some other threads. The question is, which quick disconnects should I use? So far i have been looking at the Camlocks and the...

Im in!

I have been reading through a lot of the threads on different pumps but I am still having trouble deciding which pump to get. There seems to be reviews on each type but usually they represent a unique view (ex. residue inside pump but pump hasn't been cleaned in years, manufacturing problem but...

Has anyone tried using the PNP Blue Transfer paper used to etch circuit boards? I saw it being used on a mirror on this craft site. http://www.etsy.com/blog/en/2009/how-tuesday-glass-photo-etching/ It looks like you can get pretty detailed. The tough part seems to be getting it onto a...

So it seems to be holding the temperature that I set on the controller but the readout on the controller is about 35 degrees high. Anyone have any ideas?

The low point is set to 36 which is what the other thermometer inside the fridge is reading. I am going to change it now to see if the factory control is just keeping it at that temp or if the controller is keeping it there and just reading wrong.

I recently sent a temperature controller to a friend of mine. It is the same model as this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Digital-Temperature-Controller-Thermostat-Aquarium-F-/220922697953?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item337004d8e1 I have one that I use and wired his up the same way...

So you are saying if I wanted to get Co2 to dissolve in beer at 14.7 psi it would take about 74 grams of Co2?

Is there a mathematical formula for determining the amount of Co2(in lb.'s) required to carbonate a given beer to a given carbonation level in a given size vessel? In other words I am trying to find out exactly how much Co2 I will use carbonating and serving a certain beer. Thanks in advance...

Well, I lowered the probe about 4 inches so it is closer to the middle of the kegerator. It is not keeping the temperature where it is supposed to be. Measurements near the top look good too. I think it may have just needed some time to get up to speed. I think that, combined with the fact...

Hmm that makes sense. I googled the kegerator part number but I will check when I get home. It says 6 amps for start up and 1.5 running. Here is a link: http://www.micromatic.com/keg-refrigerators/kegerators-pid-BC-1206-2.html How can i fix this? Can I add another relay? Thanks!

Thats what I was thinking. Im just a little surprised that there is that much variance.

So I took the probe out of the water bottle. The lowest it will get now is 45. I tok the temperature on the floor of the kegerator and it was around 33. Is there usually this much of a temperature swing from the top to the bottom of a kegerator?

The kegerator original thermostat is set to coolest setting. I will have to recheck my wiring tonight. The probe is in the top of the kegerator. I have the tip of the probe submerged in a small container of water.

So I set the controller to cool to 38 degrees. After letting it sit overnight, it is only down to 50. The weird thing is, even though the "Work" light is on, the compressor is not running all the time. When it turns on, it seems to lower the temp but it turns off before it gets to 38. Any ideas?

I tried breathing on it and also used a straw. It was taking forever and wasn't working that well. I ended up using a small propane torch to pop the bubbles and that worked great. My advice would be not to use this stuff without a torch. My project was pretty small. I can't imagine how long...
