When I first started I had the same issue. After getting everything done and prepped for the airlock I couldn't find the top to the 3 piece bubbler. So, I decided to put a tube on the top end and put the other end in a quart - half gallon jug/jar with star-san. After a while I found this worked...
Bit the bullet and made two holes to the right and above the inside back panel (hump). This was done with a 1/8" bit and barely drilling through. Then I used a 12 gauge bare copper wire to probe the hole. Nothing but insulation so I enlarged the hole using a larger bit that was the same...
Thanks for the reply back. Yes, I'm familiar with the old cornstarch method of finding the coolant lines. Used to have a little Sanyo two corny keggerator that was sweet before it bit the dust. That seems like a long time ago when everyone on here was doing that type of conversion. Then came...
It's been a while since I've posted on this site so bear with me. I recently purchased a Fridgidaire 20 cu ft model (frost free-no coils in the shelves) to convert like the OP. I have gone over all of the replies from everyone here. My concern is that do I really want to drill a few holes in the...
Give it a couple weeks in the secondary and then see what your gravity reading is. The yeasties appear to be eating again. Keep checking on it and take gravity readings the last 3 days of the second week. Like I stated in last post a Hefe yeast should have attenuated down to 1.012 or 1.010.

I agree with djsethall. Do you crush your own grains or do you have your LHBS do the crushing for you?
Not sure also if it could be a bad batch of 2 row. Sometimes that can happen. If that's the case then you could try a different mashing method.

First of all... relax. Not really sure of what it could be. All I've seen is that you have a wheat based beer that has been fermenting for the past 3 weeks and you seemed worried about the raspberry flavor. Once again...relax. Also you are asking questions about a beer and haven't provided a...
Nice and Sweeeeet! You'll like the fact that you have the mobility for the cart. Also at 40 inch lbs of torque you are right there for a good crush and it shouldn't bog down at all providing you have your gap set. I like the fact you have a reverse on the switch too. I wish I had bought my motor...
Bump ditty Bump!
Well my little sanyo 4912 has bit the dust. I was working around the house the other day and it was beer thirty. So I went to pull a pint off of the keggerator and didn't think too much about the foam issue from the new keg of pilsner I made. I came back to top off the pint...
First- How old is the 4912?
Second- How about taking a little more time and try the cornstarch method.
If anything atleast you could take advice from ebeer and try his method. But watch the pilot bit for the holesaw. Depending on what brand of holesaw you can use it will depend on the...
