    Mini-Fridge Door Rebuild

    Mine is totally big enough for my 6.5 gallon ale pail fermenter, it’s just the door shelving prevents it from closing.

    You think duct tape would suffice? Maybe extra duty gorilla tape?

    The pictures are gone! This is exactly my problem right now! I want to cold crash my primary before racking it into secondary!

    My gas line smells like plastic and it’s coming out in my brews head.

    What was the new lines material?

    My gas line smells like plastic and it’s coming out in my brews head.

    I noticed after my first keg that my mini fridge smelled really strongly of plastic. The second keg was good for the most part but I started to notice that plastic smell in the head of my beer. What’s up? Is there anything I can do to fix this? Will it go away once the gas line is ‘worn in’?

    Need to wait before my minifridge arrives: How do I empty the beer line after disconnecting it?

    but then i'd waste the beer in the line and in the keg? i literally just filled the keg with beer and im waiting for my minifridge to arrive to store it. the little peg on the inside? kk Edit: Thank you Sammy! that definitely helped me empty the beer out of the beer out tube!

    Need to wait before my minifridge arrives: How do I empty the beer line after disconnecting it?

    I'm totally planning on expanding my collection and getting a minifridge eventually so i can just have kegs in storage waiting to be drank.

    To me the floating tube makes the most sense for what to use. I imagine you can get the tubing relatively cheap and just install it yourself, right?

    My keg Fits in sideways

    I haven’t yet opened my kegto see the innards as it’s under pressure and I wanted to just leave it like that until I clean it before filling it. Are the tubes like solid aluminum or something? If it’s made out of a flexible plastic then it should rest on the bottom of thekeg if I put thebeer...

    Ok, so I'm new to the kegging thing and i bought one because... lets face it... its just easier and so much less work. the keg I bought was the torpedo keg 5gal, NOT slimline. it measures 23" tall by 9.125" wide(58.5cm by 23cm) and will fit comfortably in my refridgerator on its side but I would...

    My First Brew, getting worried about my yeast colony.

    did not rehydrate, I’m seeing pressure this morning so it just took it’s sweet time.... pushing down in the lid was causing pressure in the airlock to bubble. Re sealed the lid yesterday after fretting and checking the Krause. Filled the bucket up past the 5gal marker on the outside to the...
