In case it helps anyone - I've been using this carbonator lid for about three years (available in the US from MoreBeer or others, but I think Kegland makes them): https://www.kegland.com.au/products/soda-carbonator-carbonation-keg-reactor-lid-continuous-soda-water-solution Approximately a year...

Thanks very much! Parts diagram and everything, I couldn't have asked for a better reply!

I agree with RSNovi. This thread is a million years old now, but in summary let me say I don't think this is doable with forced air. Need to circulate liquid to cool.

Hi folks - can anyone help confirm that it's safe to drill where I've ciricled on my kegerator? I need to make two 1/2" holes to run CO2 and water lines into the kegerator. Seems that both the cooling and heat exchange coils are mounted externally here, so I don't think there should be...

I have a similar setup to what you're proposing. I posted some photos in a previous thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/keezer-basement-taps-upstairs-possible-374851/#post4691667 I did mine with a blower and air, but in hindsight I would have done glycol. The air system doesn't quite...

Sorry just to add a few other things: - I'm in the camp that doesn't think Chloramines at 2 ppm or less make any taste difference in the final beer, but I am willing to hear evidence to the contrary. - RE: concerns on high pH - there's so little mineral content in the MWRA water that it...

PHDrunk - Here's the MWRA treatment info: http://www.mwra.state.ma.us/04water/html/carrollwtp.html They add sodium hypochlorite and ammonia. The NaOCl gives up a free chlorine, which combines with the ammonia to form chloramine. That's why water leaving the plant tests around 2 ppm for total...

As far as I know, there is no 545SS. From my contact at Perlick, I know that they did an initial run of them that did not meet Perlick's standards. I am unsure if they ever got a successful run produced, but I never heard of one. Also to follow up on earlier posts: I still use the 545PC's...

Just do it after. There's no notable advantage to adding fruit before ferment, and you might blow off some of the more volitile aroma compounds from the citrus.

When I first started with sour beer, I kept all plastic separate but I have since calmed down a lot with no real issues. In >3 years of brewing sour beer (probably ~70 clean batches, ~30 sour or with brett) I've had exactly one unintentional infection - when I kegged a mild into a keg I had...

The blower pushes cold air from the keezer up into the box, and the air flows back down into the keezer thru the PVC. Since the four lines and the 1" blower hose take up just abouth than half of the cross sectional area of the PVC, there is space in there that allows the cool air to flow down...

PE = polyethelyene (http://www.farmhousebrewingsupply.com/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=300) Blower I think is this one http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/DAYTON-PSC-Blower-1TDN2?Pid=search Exactly right on the perlick, flow control = 545PC My 525SS work great, but I need to adjust the tubing...

Sorry should mention that one of those taps is for soda water (uses flow control perlick and PE tubing all the way to the keg). The other three use PE tubing from the tap to the collar, then I have a barb x 1/4" MFL and can swap 3'-6' lengths of 3/16" PVC on as needed for the carb level of the...

I've got got a setup pretty close to what you're talking about. Keezer with collar in the basement, 2" PVC insulated with steam pipe insulation, 4 taps run with 3/16" glass lined PE. I've got a blower and a 1" hose that provides cold air to a box I built/insulated/air sealed in my kitchen wall...

There's some misinformation in this thread I want to try to correct. First of all and maybe most important: that Wakefield report is not valid for ANY other community. It's really only valid for Wakefield at the moment of the test. Wakefield gets some water from another source (its own...

I ended up having a lot of trouble with them too. When I use them thru the wall of my keezer and the beer/lines/faucet all stayed cold, they worked great. When I moved my taps to my kitchen wall (cooling the lines and the box behind them with the micromatic blower) I get nothing but foam...

It looked to me like it could be a match, but it wasn't... The first thing I did when the package came in was bust out the digital calipers to check. That said, you can adjust the flow to a really slow rate and bottle with these pretty well, even without the bowie. It takes a while but I've...

I bought one of these from MoreBeer (sorry John, it was before you had them), I can answer most of your questions: - Inner diameter is not the same as the 525, bowie bottler will not work. It's smaller, the bowie will not insert. I even tried with just one set of o-rings, no luck. - I have...

jholen is correct, the knob on the side does read in LPM. I suspect it's not actually correct, as it seems that lots of variables (like size of holes in the stone, depth in liquid, length of tubing) would affect the flow rate. It does give me something repeatable at least. I've attached a...

mfl is male flare fitting. 1/4" MFL is the standard one used for CO2 and serving setups when modular setups are used. I used it on my O2 system too. It's not standard for O2.
