    Don't think a fermenter will fit.

    Thanks for posting. So my original guess was correct that this unit would work. Nice to know. Victor

    The cure for your short hose troubles

    We use Perlick, works great. Not sure why it would make a difference. Victor

    The cure for your short hose troubles

    Did you get the correct size? Mine slide in/out with no problem. 5' line work great. Still foaming, add 3 sticks at 18 psi 44 deg, no problems.

    The cure for your short hose troubles

    Bought a ten pack last in June and put two in every keg and three in the Belgium keg. Works great and severely reduces the plumbing.

    Does the beer seem cold enough? Foaming?

    Vissani 52 Wine Bottle Kegerator

    I've been keeping our beer around 44 deg with most beers set at your pressure of 14 PSI. The Belgium was set to 18 and a Red Oak clone 16. We have a dual output regulator that has been real helpful. I added (mandatory especially for picnic taps) the epoxy mixers to all our 5' lines supplied...

    It wil take at least 24 hours to cool two kegs. The Johnson control shoud not be necessry since it is not a freezer. Just turn the cooler thermostat down to it's lowest setting and skip the Johson controler for now. Sorry about the late reply, I just got back into town last night. Please...

    Well how's the Vassani project going?

    The pressure relief at the gauge is nice since you don't have to relieve the pressure at the keg initially to set the pressure. Just turn off the valve to the keg, set the pressure; if it is too high then turn down the pressure, pull the relief valve and slowly turn the pressure back up, then...

    The prices look the same. You are going to pay tax on either one since both companies are in TX. The Kegcoybow has a relief valve with knobs on on their base regulator which is an upgrade from kegconnection. Plus you can look at the kegs before you buy. Do you have to drive 200 mi to the...

    Vissani 52 Wine Bottle Kegerator

    That is exactly what I purchased. Then upgraded to the Taprite regulator for $35 because they the nice knobs like a regular compressor setup. I also purchased a third keg to rotate kegs. Take advantage of the $7.95 shipping.

    Picnic tap issue, new to kegging

    Same problem. Had to tighten the screw on cap.

    For $500 difference I would try the Vassani if you plan to use picnic taps. Hopefully we'll hear back from someone who tries one for at least a month. For sure everything fits nicely inside. No mods. The fan is optional. Victor

    Home Brew Tower Cooling Fan, Works Great

    I purchased a 12V squirrel cage blower ($16 delivered, 26 CFM), 12V 2A power supply (Ebay $4.99) and built a Radio Shack 12V voltage regulator from an LM317 adjustable regulator to slow down the fan that worked too well (faucets dripping with condensation) and was a bit noisy...

    Vissani 52 Wine Bottle Kegerator

    Do you have the keg equipment and picnic taps yet? If you do, I would try the Vassani for two weeks and see how it works. Honestly, all the Chinese fridges look the same including the EdgeStar kegerator I just purchased. We bottled our last 30 batches over the years but decided to start...

    Vissani 52 Wine Bottle Kegerator

    For the fan I ran a very small lamp wire thru the drain hole in the back and made sure it had a drip loop. You can get the ends for the wire. I just cut an old extension chord and used both ends for the test. For the initial test (in-case of return) I wire tide it to the top back thermostat...
