    Converting the Frigidaire 7.2 cu ft Chest Freezer

    I had a heck of a time finding a 5 port manifold. I think I eventually found one at rebelbrewer.

    Converting the Frigidaire 7.2 cu ft Chest Freezer

    Actually, I just used l-brackets with the mounting tape. I just hit the brackets with some black gloss spraypaint first. They blend in with the freezer really well! I did just get some rare earth magnets in the mail today, but they just kind of slide down the freezer. To rectify this, I am going...

    Yup! I've got five kegs in there, the 5th one hangs off the hump by about .5 inch or so, but I feel pretty safe about it. Tap1:BIPA Tap2:Coffee Stout Tap3:Belgian Pale Tap4:Seltzer Tap5:Apfelwein Thanks again for everything, I probably wouldn't have followed through with it if it wasn't for...

    Homebrewtalk Carboy Cleaner Giveaway

    I'd use it to clean all evidence out of my carboys, so SWMBO can't see the insane amounts of beer I'll be brewing. Now just need to find a place to hide all of the kegs...........

    1/4 inch pipe nipple left hand thread

    I am adding a 2nd regulator for independent pressure control. I need a section of 1/4 inch left hand pipe that is left hand thread. Everything I could find local was right handed. I thought getting all of the plugs and stems out was gonna be the hardest part...

    Converting the Frigidaire 7.2 cu ft Chest Freezer

    It's holding steady. The problem is when I turn the fine adjustment screw to warm it up a bit, it starts holding the temp of my water like 5-10 degrees warmer, just from a fraction of an inch turn. Maybe I'll try to make some more fine adjustments using the coarse adjustment screw.

    Converting the Frigidaire 7.2 cu ft Chest Freezer

    For some reason, my fridge either sits at 35 degrees or 45 degrees. Looks like I'll be getting a live temp controller after all. At least it looks cool!

    The cure for your short hose troubles

    Any idea if these fit in the dip tube of a 3 gallon keg? Wasn't sure if the diameter of the dip tube is the same, and it is just the length that is different. Thanks!

    also, pieceman, I have the exact same freezer as you. About how many turns of the screw did it take to get it where you wanted it? And also, does it seem to be holding a pretty stable temperature?

    Converting the Frigidaire 7.2 cu ft Chest Freezer

    thanks for the input. i have all of my taps already, just need to build the collar! the moisture problem isn't all THAT bad (maybe just 1/32 of an inch pooled around the edges actually), I just didn't like the idea of that liquid getting into the joints. it was my first caulking job, so it...

    Converting the Frigidaire 7.2 cu ft Chest Freezer

    I had another moisture management question for you guys. I use an evadry500, but still get some water pooling up in the corners of my freezer, because I'm still using cobra taps, and have to open it often. Is there any harm in putting a silicon bead along all of the interior paneling joints in...

    Converting the Frigidaire 7.2 cu ft Chest Freezer

    How do you guys manage the moisture inside of the freezer? I notice a lot of condensation running to the bottom of the freezer. I can't believe there's no harm in letting it collect down there.

    2.5 gallon corny keg

    I noticed that too. 24 dollars seems a bit steep for shipping. I hate it when people try to profit off of the shipping.....

    2.5 gallon corny keg

    I was literally on my way to pick it up, I admit that I jumped the gun on this one. He called me while I was five mins away from his house.
