    Anyone use the Kegco 61" Commercial Kegerator?

    So I built this about 10 years ago, 6 tap, 6 keg, stainless everything, all Perlicks, dual gas, and I didn't really spare much in the expense department at the time: This happened in January: We are building a new house on our property and doing all the insurance BS. I will need to replace...

    Who makes a GOOD CO2 regulator?

    I built my Keezer about 6 years ago (I believe...could be 7). I'm on my 2nd regulator. 1st was an entry level Taprite. It has been a few years, but I believe both a gauge and regulator failed on it. I then got "The Governor" which was supposed to be a good regulator. It is no longer sold...

    Storing my homebrew outside my keezer for a couple weeks - questions

    So, my father suckered me into hosting for a surprise retirement party for my step mom. 50 people and I'm sure they want to hit up my 6-tap Keezer. BUT I don't want to share my good stuff with a bunch of people that think Yuengling is an exotic beer. The only times my kegs have ever...

    Ran out of propane while brewing..am I screwed?

    I started home brewing early this year, doing my 5th kit this morning (all extract kits from Midwest Supplies). Today I was doing a Honey Weizen. 60 minute brew, with hops/malt at the beginning, honey @ 30 minutes in, hops and rest of honey @ 50 minutes in. At ~40 minutes I ran out of...

    Sparkling wine loosing carbonation in the lines

    I have a 6 tap Keezer, with CO2 and Argon gas supplies. We kegged half of a batch of wine and forced carbed it at about 40psi. It's good except when you first use it the sparkling wine in the lines has lost most of its carbonation. Once that comes out, then what is in the keg is fully...

    Anyone find commercial kegs delivered at the wrong carb level?

    I am making a comparison between the product in the commercial keg vs. the same product sold in bottles. Some kegs seem to have the perfect carb level when tapped (one of the two Great Lakes kegs I tapped were good, other was under carbed). I have found all three cider kegs I have gotten...

    What is the coolest temp I could ever need to ferment at?

    I just finished fermenting my first batch of beer and will be kegging it tonight (I built my 6 tap Keezer specifically so I'd never have to bottle beer - ever). I've made wine for a couple years and am just getting into beer brewing. I see all the fermentation building putting a heat source...

    My beer stopped fermenting...help!

    This past Sunday was my first time brewing beer. I've been making wine (kit form) for a couple of years now with good results. Last Saturday I started a batch of wine. It is fermenting in my plastic fermenter in our laundry room counter, where I normally ferment. On Sunday, I brewed...

    Help me spend my money - upgrading my wine making equipment to homebrewing

    I am going to try my first batch of beer after the New Year. We currently make wine so have many of the needed parts. I also have a 6-tap Keezer and intend to force carb the beer (I also have multiple regulators for my CO2 setup). For equipment, I basically have everything in this kit...

    Does anyone sell a SS Low Profile D System Sankey coupler?

    I need a low profile for a keg on the hump of my Keezer. EVERYTHING that touches liquid in my system is stainless steel; from the 6 Perlicks, shanks, MFL's - it is all SS. I like ciders which murder chrome stuff and I want to stick with an all SS setup. I haven't spared much in expenses...

    Force carbing to make Champagne - how long and what PSI?

    I just got my 6-tap Keezer going last night (will post a separate thread with all the details once I finish up a few smaller things to complete it). I didn't spare much expense with it, going all stainless steel for everything touching liquid, Perlick faucets (including 4 creamer faucets), and...

    Building a well optioned Keezer...questions

    I am planning to build a Keezer that allows me to do a variety of things with it and have some questions. I will be buying a black freezer that will hold at least four 1/6 Barrel or Corny kegs. I haven't made beer yet (planning to start doing that soon), but we make a lot of wine. I...

    Need parts list to put together a Vacuum degasser setup

    Wife and I have been making kits wines for about a year now, currently on our 4th and 5th batches. All have been decent, our 3rd finished batch being the best so far. I currently degass using a drill mounted paddle and have had mixed results. Wife wants wine making goodies for Christmas or...
