I tied twine to a 6' piece of 2x2 and set it in my gutter and ran them down to my pots, worked pretty well. I have also used some 16p nails pounded about 2/3s of the way in. Stainless seems a little excessive here, just get some small galvanized eye bolts. If you are worried about water...

You could also repurpose a rear door support from a van or station wagon. You can find them in junkyards for about $5 for the same type of gas shock.

You could also use acidulated malt or really cheat and dose in food grade lactic acid. I have had tasty Berliners using both techniques

I work with the ones with one catch, they are easy to work with. 1 bar is 14.7 psi so yeah around 50

Screw in spear converted cornies? Thats a new one to me. To remove the spear loosen it with a hammer and punch until it spins but the threads arent engaged. Then put a 1/4" or 3/8" nut on to of the ball and then tap the keg with it on there. It might be easier if you remove the big gasket...

I measured 140 with the compressor on, not sure if thats what your supposed to do but thats how I did it. On my spec sticker it just say high and low and the pressure ratings, no temperatures. It is a lot less detailed then yours. If you plan on pulling a vacuum on the lines I would just put...

Lies :D

So I have been getting some questions on the fix and if its holding, it is. My only complaint is the compressor seems a little small for the size of my box which makes sense. I never got around to adding a fan but think it would help quite a bit, but as it is it pours me cold beer and looks...

Sierra Nevada has one of those bike bars too. We are just looking to make something to serve out of. We dont have anywhere near the funds to do one of those, would be pretty sweet though

I guess with all that weight in the back there is no risk of going over the handlebars from the front brake:D

I plan on running a jockey box section inside the box with 3 100' coils, 1 for each tap. We run 120 in the jockey boxes we have now and they hold about 3 pints in the coil. You can pretty much pour a room temp keg constant and get a cold beer every time. Usually the kegs are right out of the...

Thanks for all the replies. The plan is to have something we can ride the mile and a half to the market then pack it up and ride it home. Its pretty darn flat in Davis only hill between the brewery and the market is the slight rise for the railroad tracks so that makes things a little easier...

I am in the beginning stages of making a tricycle jockey box for 3 1/2 bbls. I work at a brewery who serves beer at the local farmers market once a week and they are looking for a cool way to transport and serve. I am planing on cutting a cruiser off about 6" behind the seat post then adding a...

Bringing this back from the dead. We have a bunch of these kegs at the brewery I work at and we discovered an easier way to pull them out then the tool described in the op. Pull the bottom gasket off of the coupler so the coupler will not seal. Then find a bolt that will fit in the small...

I built my own keg box and it works pretty well. I broke the coil so it made it a little complicated but if you are careful its not too hard. I built a box out of 1/2" plywood and some 2x2's then got a sheet of 2" styrofoam insulation from home depot to insulate it. I filled the cracks with...
