Okay. So what I'll do is, install it and where it enters the inside of the keezer I will cover the wire connections with some sort of water proofing gel or silicon and run a bead of silicon along the edge at the hole where the controller comes through and see how that works out.

So I'm wondering, should I just surround it with RTV or cover the part that enters the freezer with a box. If I go the bix method it probably needs to be insulated, right?

I am installing a Willhi WH7016C digital remperature controller in my keezer through the front of the collar. Do I need to seal it inside the keezer to keep moisture out.

Ding Ding Ding Ding!!!! We have a winner. Yes "me time". I forgot about that.

This is probably part of it. I already won an award after less than a year and a half. Good advice. Maybe I could brew a few times a year maybe 2 batches at a time, or maybe a marathon weekend and fill up my kegs and set aside and tap as needed. Thanks y'all :mug:

Very important

But seriously. Try get get a close recipe then add something for some body or flavor and get her started liking craft beer

I would have never guessed.....;)

If i could add to that, a very important rule I stress is never put your finger on the trigger until you are ready to shoot. .....and if, as you approach your home, it looks to be broken in to, do not enter, call the police and wait outside. Give them your description so when they arrive...

Most indoor gun ranges have guns you can rent on their shooting range. I recommend a compact 9mm. I would stay away from Kel-Tec. (IMHO) If you want to shoot competatively I recommend joining the Glock shooting club. You can get a discount on a gun. GSSF Or you can participate in steel...

I've never had much luck when following the recommended line length formulas. So what I did was buy 20ft of line and I kept cutting it until I finally got the foam to an acceptable amount. My pour is a bit slow but I'm not running a bar. Keep in mind, usually your first pour will have more...
