    Best beer line cleaner

    I had a spiced cider on tap that had cinnamon in it. I did a quick flush with star San before tapping another beer. The new beer tastes like cinnamon and apple. I swapped taps and it's definitely in the lines. It is a pain in the butt to clean beer lines so I'm curious what people recommend. I...

    Pid controlled chest freezer is possessed

    The johnson controller has been working perfectly so I'm sure the freezer is fine. The keg of kolsch that froze seems a little more watery than the first keg I'm drinking now. I shook the hell out of it after it thawed and carbed it back up.

    Pid controlled chest freezer is possessed

    Well, I just found it below 0 again but I caught it before the keg froze again. I'm thinking that it has to be the thermocouple. I hooked up my old school johnson dial controller, hope it still works.

    Pid controlled chest freezer is possessed

    The one I have is just like the stc 1000 but it reads in fahrenheit. It has worked perfect for about 2 years and is working perfectly again after the deep freeze.

    Pid controlled chest freezer is possessed

    I had a keg of kolsch on gas and a half of a case of bottles in my chest freezer lagering at 35 degrees. Everything was fine for several weeks when I noticed the pid was reading minus 2 degrees. I opened the freezer to find exploded bottles and the keg frozen solid. The pressure relief valve...

    Making a fridge colder

    My fridge does not have the condenser on the back. The rest of it sounds too complicated for me I guess I'll just have to live with it the way it is.

    Making a fridge colder

    My kegerator is a standard fridge on the bottom with a freezer on top. I keep it outside in my screened patio that can heat up over 90 degrees. At the coldest setting my beer pours at 41-42 degrees. In the Florida heat that means a pint gets warm really fast. I would like to try an external...

    Vinyl tubing oily

    I had to heat it in boiling water then it fit with a little persuasion.

    Vinyl tubing oily

    I had the same problem and the lines caused a bad taste in the beer. They were very slimy when cold and nothing would clean it off. I switched to the white plastic water line for a fridge watermaker and the problem is gone.

    Strange beer pour

    Oops, I meant 3/16ths. My issue was an overcarbed keg. I bled off some gas and all is perfect now.

    Strange beer pour

    Strange beer pour

    I don't have a tower just taps coming out of the door of my fridge. I think I have to figure out a way to cool the taps themselves.

    Strange beer pour

    Does anyone know why my beer would pour beer then foam then beer again while filling a pint? I never had this problem when I lived in NY amd my kegerator was in my garage. Now I'm in Florida and its in my Florida room where its 75 to 95 degrees. I have 10 feet of three eights line and gas is at...

    Frozen Keg

    I just found out the hard way that when I have 6 kegs in my fridge the one in the middle at the front freezes because of where the cold air blows into the fridge. I had a keg conditioning and now its frozen solid. I have 2 questions, will it taste like it should when it thaws and should I let it...

    Score! Tow 20lb CO2 Tanks from Craiglist

    I can't find a place near me that fills tanks so I swap them at airgas too. The price is reasonable and the last time I went I swapped one of my rusty ****ty tanks for a sweet aluminum one. They don't care if the tank is expired or not when I trade them in and the ones I get back are clean and...

    pinlock kegs at the scrap yard

    I doubt it's worth it for me to flip them for a profit. I have a bunch of ball locks so I don't need them. I will stop back looking for other goodies.

    pinlock kegs at the scrap yard

    Nope, Seneca Falls. I'd buy them if I thought I could re-sell and make a little profit but they don't have the lids.

    pinlock kegs at the scrap yard

    I just got back from dumping off a load at the local scrap yard (got $92 for junk that was in my garage!). I asked if they had any kegs in the stainless pile and they sent me over to look in a certain area. I found 13 pinlocks but they had no lids. The guy said that they were only like 60 cents...

    Balllock post fitting

    http://www.midwestsupplies.com/kegging/kegging-hardware/beer-thread-fittings/cornelius-plug-adapter-1-4-mpt.html I'm building a randall, am I correct in thinking that I can adapt this fitting to my filter housing and then screw on ball lock posts from a keg? My goal is to have ball lock...
