First Post. Lots of great information. I have been lurking for quite a while and spent many hours looking at the different Keezer setups.
I currently have a Insignia Kegerator that is giving me headaches. I cant seem to get the pressure adjusted correctly and keep getting 1/3 beer and 2/3 foam. Any suggestions on how to correct this would be greatly appreciated. I had the pressure turn up to 12 and it worked fine for a while but then the foam started. Turned it down to 10 no change. Turned it downed to 8 (thinking I may have a bad gauge) and will give that a try but curious if there are any other areas I should check? Its still under warranty by BEST BUY so if I cant figure it out I will return it.
The Insignia is a single tap and I want to add additional ones (four to be exact) and as a result of the great inspiration here, I have made the decision to build a Keezer using the information gained here. I am picking the donor freezer up this Friday (thanks to FACEBOOK Marketplace) I have started ordering the parts and will start the build process beginning with the collar this weekend.
My only question is the fan. I have seen where most setups are using a PC CPU Cooling fan. Just curious how they are wired? it appears that some have modified them to plug into an ordinary outlet. Just curious if this is the preferred method or if there is a better fan to use? Also do you just cut the wires and wire it up to plug into a normal home outlet or is there another method for power.
I am sure there will be others but that is it for now.
Thanks in advance for the feedback and information.
Cheers!
