    Help with wiring replacing minifridge thermostat with Inkbird ITC-1000

    yeah, like others have said, you just need to connect the black and white wires to the relay connections on the inkbird. then use the green wire for ground, if you have one.... I just did this setup to my mini fridge, but the thermostat had a lamp connected to it. this gave me a hot, neutral...

    DIY Rinser setup for keezer (pics)

    Nice write up! I like your setup! Can you tell me your opinion of why the bracket is built the way it is? And I mean the plate with the holes that's welded to the rinser. Would you say this is something for someone who is installing this as an 'after thought' to their bar rather than it being...

    Whirlpool 15cuft Keezer Build

    Yes, there will be a trench from the garage to the house. The trench will be about 20-22'. Then it will need to come up the side of the house about 6-7' and go into the house about 12-16". On the garage side the line needs to enter low so it gets as little sun exposure as possible. That wall...

    Whirlpool 15cuft Keezer Build

    This is my original kegerator I built back in 2015 for our wedding. It is going to have to hold us over, and it should lol. I've added a bottle holder to it and redid the beer lines. Kegerator by Summoner12 posted Sep 26, 2019 at 2:59 AM Inside Kegerator by Summoner12 posted Sep 26, 2019 at...

    Whirlpool 15cuft Keezer Build

    Here is the keezer all apart. Stuff getting washed, the keezer top removed, the old glycol chiller and temp control mess, the keezer through the back door (had to take hinges off) and the tower in it's proposed new location.

    Whirlpool 15cuft Keezer Build

    Well it's been a while since I last updated this build thread. The keezer has been taken apart in efforts to make it even better. So since I build this keezer originally my wife and I have purchased a home. And we have a perfect place for this tower to be mounted in the kitchen. Our kitchen...

    Trunk Line Chiller DIY Help Needed

    Hey guys. I am looking to hear from some people with experience in using trunk line with a DYI or store bought unit glycol cooler. OR, if you know how to figure the math on a unit for DIY. So I have a "portable" AC unit that I took apart. It is rated for 9000BTU, but my understanding is these...

    Is copper immersion chiller turning my pool green?

    haha I had my pool in southern California.... in a hot dry climate more inland. Rain was not of much help. We had a couple of good rains and it never got the pool to to point of overflowing. Somewhat disappointed but at the same time that pool didn't have an overflow plumbed... but luckily the...

    Is copper immersion chiller turning my pool green?

    What causes the phosphate for you? well water? Maybe consider doing a carbon filter for your top off line? Do you drop a garden hose into the pool or do you have a auto refill type? or maybe (like my experience) you have just a water valve plumbed to the pool under the deck? Check to make sure...

    Anyone use this 12v cooler as a glycol chiller?

    I did a peltier chiller for my keezer to cool just the tower. The chiller couldn't pull down all that well. There were ways I could make it work better, but honestly the power consumption was HUGE. I was at like 400watts running 4 peltier chips. I could have made my setup work better by using...

    The Ole' Window AC - Glycol Chiller Build

    You have a great post here. I like how clean you made it. Thanks for sharing! I am researching coolers because I need to cool a beer trunk line. This is more rhetorical, but I am wondering if my unit, or a unit like yours has the power to maintain my trunkline.... hmmmm

    Is copper immersion chiller turning my pool green?

    To the CYA comments. My understanding is never use the floating chlorine tablets that have CYA in them. I always tossed them out when the pool kid added them, I had to smash the thing... wait, that didn't work, he charged the home owners for another and started using them again. So I had to hide...

    Is copper immersion chiller turning my pool green?

    This right here below is your issue. Your pool's chemistry is F'd and needs a restart. If you just purchased a home, drain that pool, refill and start over. Read trouble free pool forums, it's a HUGE resource. My brother in law and I both moved into homes with pools at the same time. Neither...

    Relay to Turn On/Off Glycol Chiller Pump?

    @Hop The FLoJet pump on top of the cooler; that's the pump that flows glycol to the beverage lines or fermentor in your case? I am looking at building a glycol cooler for my home. It's job will be to cool beverage trunk line. I am reading up on actual coolers and their specs and the BTU of...

    Maytag MQC1552TEW replacement (Whirlpool EH151FXTQ/WZC3115DW or Amana AZC31T15DW)?

    I think the noise can be resolved. The main rattle you hear are the pins that hold the compressed to the rubber feet. They're loose and shake with the vibration of the compressor motor against the metal that pushes up through the rubber bushing. I think if you remove the pins the noise would go...
