I have a magic Chef 6.8 that I am building my Keezer out of. I am curious if anyone has found heavy duty hinges to replace the plastic ones? I have searched without success to find any. I have added gas struts to keep the lid up, but there is still a lot of pressure on the plastic ones. I have...

I did not end up going that route. I am going to go through the freezer lid with a box tower on top. I am doing a similar build to the knotty pine build on here. I am just starting the lid cutting now.

I just got a Magic Chef 6.8 for Christmas and want to turn it into a keezer. I want to add a 6 inch collar so that I can add two kegs on the compressor hump. I really like the style keezer with the wooden box "draft tower" on top. I was thinking about running a 3'' PVC pipe out the back of the...

In regards to the serious eats recipe, it is made for 1 gallon. Would you just multiply everything by 5, for 5 gallons?

I am in the process of building my kegerator. For the outside I am using cut up pallet boards to make a crate looking case. I want to use galvanized finished door pull and hinges. It looks like I am out of luck on matching the beer taps, and only have Stainless or chrome as an option. Are there...

Wow, that is a great build thank you for sharing. I was thinking about horizontal boards with small gaps as suggested, but I really like the finished look on yours. I have access to a lot of pallet wood I am planning on using. Did you insulate the liquid lines through the pipe? Phil Sent...

I have a Magic Chef 4.4 mini fridge used to store my Keg. I am in the process of adding an external tap. For the design I was thinking about something with a wood frame around the outside, resembling a crate, and having something on the top with a wood barrel (mini wine barrel) with a tap on it...

Just Curious how these fridges have held up over the years. I picked up a Magic Chef and am thinking about doing the same. I already removed the inner door panal, but still not enough room. How are the fridge components holding up? Also, Did you relocate the freezer tray, or keep it where it...

Sorry for the confusion. I have the freezer door highlighted that I am referring to, with the red arrow. Can I run the fridge with this cover removed. I don't see why not, its not there when the fridge is modified and the chill plate is bent down to the back panel.

Yes, the same element that cools the fridge, makes up the freezer area. Since most people bend the chill plate down and back, I would assume the element would run okay for me with the small freezer door missing. In that case, would there be any suggestions for how to insulate the liquid line so...

I am sorry if this is a repeat of previous threads. I have search around and not found this specific question. I just picked up a Magic Chef 4.4cf mini fridge for cheap on Craigslist. It does have the upper freezer compartment. Eventually I will probably move the chill plate to the back, but...

That makes sense. I do have a unopened dry package of Safale s-04 dry ale yeast. But that is different correct?

Sorry. Estimated OG is 1.054. 5 gallon batch. Pitching tonight with new it is. Thanks.

Thanks guys. Just so I understand that chat, I only need 10% of the yeast package to activate, or it will only be 10% effective? The yeast in question is Wyeast 1056 american ale brew date Sept 18th 2013. Unfortunately my LHBS is closed today and the next closest is an hour away. I will be...

I have a package of liquid Wyeast about 5 months old. It has been kept in the fridge the whole time. I just pulled it out to use it and the package seems to have been activated. It is unopened, should this still be good to use? The package says good from 6 months of date on package, which I am...

Came across this on newegg. Although searching the web after posting this, seems the "sale price" is normal on other website, but shipping is free, and seems to include a 2.5lb CO2 tank (empty) and dual gauge regulator...

What is the advantage of having a rotatable racking arm? Would it not work the same if it was fixed in the down position? Thanks, Phil

Wound you be able to see how much tubing it takes to fill a bottle then once that tube is full close the valve, and fill. It should be empty before the bottle overfills.

OG was 1.048

Using priming sugar, should 2 weeks in the bottle be enough time to Carb?
