I bought a few of the tap inserts at the local Lowes (the ones that are a tad too long). But jeeze if they were not the most difficult thing to actually thread into the wood -- I broke the brass trying to get it in. Anyone else have a similar issue? I think I'll try the nut approach listed...

And my pain is lessened... I called (beveragefactory.com) and spoke to customer service. They are expressing the correct faucets to me so I should have them in three days. They told me to keep the other faucets. :rockin: So now I have two perlicks on the way and two standard faucet...

I finally purchased a set of Perlick faucets and shanks for my kegerator...and with breath bated I've been watching them as they cross the country via UPS. I get home Friday and wave a passing greeting to my family and bolt to the brown package waiting for me on the table -- my priorities...

I think that those actually go over the "gas in" post to depressurize. The relief valve you posted can't be purged. This is the style on all 19 of my kegs -- pin lock. To depressurize, I use a bamboo skewer or a small screwdriver and press the poppet.

So a thermometer set inside a vial of water reads 38F in my fridge after a few days at the fridge's warmest setting. The dial is turned to 1 -- is this normal for fridges to cool this cold? -- T.

I just got my birthday present -- a refrigerator from which will be born my kegerator. Got it all cleaned up, but not sure about how to gauge the temp inside the fridge? My thermometer (oven type) reads 25 at the current setting...but a probe in a beer bottle full of water reads 39. So...

Great score! That's how I got my 16 kegs -- gotta love the scrap yard. Now if I could just find some kettles buried in there. ;) -- T.

So I'm cleaning up my brewroom, and getting ready to scrap 3 kegs that are riddled with holes from a shotgun ( I got them that way from the scrapper). I salvaged the posts and gas tubes, 1 dip tube, and cut a 10 inch segment of another dip tube (thermowell?). What else should I do to these...

Is it a Firestone or Cornelius keg? I found while rebuilding mine that the Cornelius brand posts have poppets that tap right out when pushed from the top. Soak and scrub with a brush. Firestone (and some other) brands have poppets that are permanently set in the post. To clean these I...

I have permission to build a keggerator. SWMBO wants me to build a sanyo conversion, when all I asked for was a standard fridge in the garage conversion. So my question: Does the 2 keg capacity of the popular Sanyo apply to pin lock kegs as well? I also have a very large CO2 tank...so my...

I've broken down more than half of them -- they are filthy! I've gone through much oxyclean tonight. They have 2 different types of dip tubes -- bent and straight. The ones with the straight tubes have angles pins in the top -- I didn't realize there was such a thing. They are dented on the...

Do they make grinding wheels as a drill attachment or do I need an angle grinder?

Got them in today -- they're very cruddy, but were still holding pressure. The big surprise was that the kegs are pin lock, not ball lock. I know I'll need to figure out a way to break them down. If I'm careful can I remove the posts with a wrench still? I'm going to experiment on a shotgun...

About a month ago, I sent out word via facebook to family and friends that I was looking for Corny kegs to start kegging my beer, in case any of them came across some I could nab for cheap. I didn't hold out much luck. A week ago I get a call from a friend who was at a scrap yard where...
