    Sanke leak

    A friend is having a party Saturday night and I offered to let him use my co2. I have brand new sanke about 6 months old that I have no used (use cornies at home). So, I hooked the lines to it and turned on the gas. With the sanke handle up (so no co2 is allowed out the base), it is leaking near...

    How keep corny cold away from home?

    I searched but couldn't find an answer. I am driving from Portland, OR to Syringa, ID to meet 9 friends for a 2 day raft trip down the Lochsa :ban:. We are meeting around 3pm the day before the trip and I would like to bring a corny with me for all of us to enjoy that afternoon/early evening. It...

    More co2?

    2 days ago I poured off 5 galons of Widmer Hefe into my corny. It was then put under pressure and the o2 bled off. It has 10lb of co2 now. However, it seems a tad flat and is missing a head. Should I add a lb or 2 of pressure to bring it back? Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

    Few questions re: co2

    I bought a 5lb tank and just checked my used corny for leaks. When I pressurized it, the pressure read 10psi. What is the ideal pressure to pour from? Secondly, the 5lb tank read 700psi in the tank. 500psi says to order more gas. Is 700lbs normal for a new, full 5lb tank? Thanks!

    Help! Corny won't seal

    I just bought a corny on Craigslist. When I bought it it was pressurized (I released the pressure to confirm). I just cleaned, put new o-rings in with keg lube and star san'ed. When I was turn it upside down to mix around the Star SAn, water was leaking out around the lid. Any idea what this...

    How tell temp in mini-fridge kegerator

    I purchased the 5 cf Oster off of CL today and ordered my parts from Kegconnection (great guys who answered tons of questions, BTW). Anyhow, the temp gauge is 1-7 and I do not know which setting will get the fridge to a particular temperature. Since I assume I want to be right about 34 degrees...

    Kegconnections standard kit vs. premium?

    I am buying an 5.0 Oster off of Craigslist today and have decided to go with a 1 faucet tower (save $ over 2, doubt I will have 2 on at once very often). Anyhow, I can't tell the difference betwee the Kegconnection standard vs. premium kits (aside from regulator perhaps). Can anyone spell this...

    Will a 5.0 Oster fit 1/4 bbl?

    I found a 5.0cf Oster on Craigslist that I am going to buy and convert for corneys. However, I may be itnerested in the occasional 1/4 bbl from my local brewpub. Does anyone know the internal dimensions of the Oster? I can't find anything online. Thanks!

    Can you lay 1/6 sanke keg on its side?

    I am considering using my garage fridge as a kegerator. However, I would like to retain some space for other items. Would I be able to place a 1/6 sanke keg on its side and still serve? Thanks!

    Sanyo Frigidaire or Danby for conversion? What kit?

    OK, so I decided on a min-fridge conversion and to go with cornys instead of a keezer (tight space and WAF). The question now is, Sanyo SR-4912M (they DO have it at Fry's afterall) for $249; Frigidaire FRC4456B for $179 at Lowes; or Danby DAR440BL at Walmart for $183. Sounds like the Sanyo...

    Places to fill corny keg in Portland, OR?

    I have called around to a few brewpubs and some will fill them (Luck Lab, Alameda). However, Widmer said no and that very few places in Portland will fill them. Don't know if I believe Widmer on that. Does anyone know who in Portland will fill cornys before I start calling all of my favorite...

    Chest freezer noise concerns?

I am interested in a small chest freezer but am concerned about noise since it will be in a warm closet, 15 feet from where I watch movies. Will...
