Thanks again. I live in georgia, and the humidity is killer. We dont get this when it is colder in the winter. We have 1 perlick, I regular. They both seem to get the flakes in warm weather. I think I am going to start cleaning the lines less often, maybe every other keg switch and clean the...

Thanks. I do take the faucets apart and soak and scrub with wvery keg change...but I will definitely look into the star san and the black attachments! Thanks guys :-)

Hi! A year and a half ago I built a kegerator for my husband's birthday with 2 taps. We keep it in the garage but it seems that for the last few months there are some gross black flakes that start to come out with the beer about halfway through a new keg. We clean the lines and faucets out...

Sorry, I don't have a sister! I think it goes back to my dad who had me skinning deer with him in elementary school- he instilled in me the attitude that if you want something done, do it yourself :) This is actually embarrassing to admit but after re- examining my co2 attachments, I actually...

Thanks for the chart, I am going to check that out. Yes 420 is for the beer :) beer is my worst vice- that and medieval fantasy books :)

I have actually discovered after two days that there are a lot of bubbles in the lines and a slow pour now. So will increasing the carbonation from 10-11 do the trick? I have looked at a few older threads discussing this but I didn't really find a consensus!

I posted a few pictures on the 2nd page of this thread. He was completely surprised and excited. I was relieved I was able to pull it all off in secret! He deserves it, I have never known anyone who works harder that him!

Thanks guys for all of your input. I am not sure I would have been able to do it otherwise. Here is the finished product, which aside from a little foaming (which is down to about 1 inch, and I suspect is something that might arise every time you change a keg?) it is working great. He was stoked.

I am not computer literate, so I hope these photos attach! It is simple, but it does the job :)

I gave it 24 hours before tinkering and I think it corrected itself. There may be 1 inch of foam now with a pour... And like a pp said, I might not be doing it correctly :) I do wish I did 12 ft lines instead, you live and you learn! I will post photos ASAP!

The lines are 6 feet and it is in a full size fridge. Thanks!

Hey guys! I wrote a post a few weeks about about building my hubby a kegerator for his birthday. Well, today is the day and I have everything set up...but the beer is super foamy. I guess I am nervous I messed up somehow! Some background- the fridge was delivered today and is still trying to...

Thanks again guys. I went by my local hone brew store (luckily there are a few here in atlanta) to have a look at everything and get an idea of price. Wow- this is not an inexpensive hobby :) I think I am actually going to start with 2 corneys, with space to add a 3rd or 4th down the road. I...

Thanks for all of the advice. I think I am going to go with a full size fridge and go for 3 taps. Building the structure at the bottom of the fridge shouldn't be a problem, I am just worried about proper insulation where the hoses go in, making sure I connect everything properly so the co2...

Hello! I decided that I would like to give my husband a kegerator/keezer for his birthday in November. After reading several bad reviews of the cheaper styles of single tap kegerators, and having little luck looking on Craigslist, I am about to pull the trigger on trying to make one myself...
