Would I be better off using solid wire instead? I can buy 14 gauge SJ cord but it should be the same as the extension cord. What type wire has most of you guys used?

I got my STC-1000 yesterday and have been thinking about what wire to use. I was thinking about just buying a 25ft extension cord and cut it up but the one I was looking at is only 16 gauge. Then I worried that it might be to small of wire to handle a fridge. What size wire did you guys use to...

I don't know about everyone else but I like mine. The top doesn't seal well but that's ok with me. I am going to add a spigot on the side so I can draw from it mainly to fill the ball before I put it back on for secondary.

Thanks for the info. I will have to add one now.

I don't know about priming in the barrel seems like you would stir up to much stuff from the bottom. You could transfer using a tube just like transferring to a bottling bucket but you would lose a little. I always bottle primed by using the Mr. Beer calculations. Maybe someone else has done...

I have never tried that. I used to suck the hose to get it started until I bought an auto siphon. Im never going back.

After seeing it done I was thinking of doing it myself the only thing is I put my FF in a 7 gal bucket to fill it and then use the bucket to help me carry it to my brackets. Just wonder if the spout would be in the way when fitting the FF into the bucket.

Do you really mix the starsan with the beer in the keg?

I'm in.

is that the same type spout that you put tin a bucket, or is there a difference. I have a spout for a bucket just wondering if it would work.

I hope you are able to get this taken care of. and I agree they should have at least tried to help out with some info whether they replace the part for free or not.

I always rack to a bottling bucket. Makes it easier to prime and more control when bottling.

Apezz, i have the same problem with getting the union loose to take the ball off. Did you close the valve first? I noticed that when i close the valve the union wont turn so i leave the valve open and loosen the union by hand and then close the valve and remove the union and ball. I havent had...

I have 6 gal buckets and the FF fits in it without the ball. I think it might fit in a 7 gal with the ball on it but i just connect the ball after its on the mount. I carry mine in the bucket to my mount, i have tried to carry out of the bucket and its just easier in the bucket. When bottling i...

I would have to guess $500+. Depends if you are buying new or reconditioned, Then the price of gas, cleaning, the beer. Are you wanting all three kegs hooked up at once, then you need a manifold. Really depends on what you want. You could probably find a single keg kit and then buy some...

count me in.

I just bottled from mine, when I took the ball off it was real cloudy. I hooked up the tube and bled it a little. Then I put the ball back on after cleaning it out and opened the valve to let the bubbles dislodge anything settling at the valve. I let it sit for the rest of the day and then...
