You can also put a SS hose clamp around the PRV post on the underside of the lid to hang wire or string to. Some hose clamps are not all SS look for the better ones, last time i was at HD they were all SS.

purge the line (let the co2 blast out, into an empty keg or other way)

Keg or bottles about the same. As long as it's sealed well and kept out of light and extreme temperatures, that is. I suppose you could argue that individually sealed bottles with oxygen absorbing caps might have more longevity than kegs because kegs are tapped and once they are tapped there...

dedhedjed, that collar looks great.

I bought one of these, 24cfm: if the link dies search for kegerator tower fan http://cgi.ebay.com/Beer-Home-Brew-Kegerator-Tap-tower-cooling-fan-kit-/290485906919?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43a24f2de7#ht_585wt_1141 It moves enough air to do the job. It does not have to be a tornado, just...

Shroomz: I think the copper pipe is going to present a problem with a freezer lid. I bought a blower fan assembly on ebay that was made for kegerators, it does a fine job but the tubing that came with it is very rigid. The key is a blower design (squirrel cage) over a traditional fan blade, if...

also leaky connections between the tank and regulator are common

Nice tile and flush mount drip tray! -Ben

yikes i would not trust that fill, nor would I want to deal with all that. Fire safety or welding shop.

ubermick Transfer that cleared, crashed beer to another keg after that first couple pints. You'll leave that yeast behind.

Nylon washers are the way to go.

Not a problem, I do that all the time.

Mykek You "could" ferment in these but for primary fermentation you will have a lot of spent yeast and other sediment. You should ferment in something else that can hold the desired final volume plus trub and headspace for fermentation/krausen. Food grade buckets are cheap, but I like carboys...

I would be interested in one or 2 of those. PM me if any are still up for grabs. Thank you.

Nitrogen is used with Guinness. Nitrous is happy gas like at the dentist. It is sold in small cartridges for making whipped cream. Also used and abused by people looking for a buzz. Seltzer bottles are the most common usage for the food grade co2 cartridges.

Commercial keg couplers have check valves built in, unless you removed it. The first thing I would do is bleed the keg pressure.

You could put oxyclean, beer line cleaner or PBW in there, soak, shake, rinse, put sanitizer in there drain and then beer. The cleaner your finished beer is before adding to the keg, the less muck you will have to deal with when cleaning. Being able to open that keg would be helpful but i...

If you weren't so far away I'd donate a regulator to you. As someone else pointed out, with a corny keg, lid sealing can be difficult to achieve or even check without a regulator and some gas.

+1 buy the right stuff and you won't regret it.

Well you could use the coupler to fill it. There is a check valve in the coupler, a small plastic ball, just remove it when you want to fill. You will want to sanitize it between batches.
