The only compact coupler I have is a domestic sankey "wing" or quarter turn style that easily fits within the ring area at the top of 9" diameter 1/6 barrel (commercial) kegs. I know that imported beers typically don't offer a 1/6 barrel option, but in the case of Chimay and Hoegaarden, they...

I recently finished making a kegerator out of a refrigerator so I thought I'd share a few pics. The intended resting area for this fridge is pretty dark with wood paneling and brick, so I wanted a dark fridge to avoid the contrast a white one would create. Finding a used black fridge for a...

Something I forgot to mention... There was an issue with the kegs floating halfway through their use. With most kegs in a tub (frat party style) the keg is not submersed very far in the ice water. With this can I decided to fill it almost to the keg's "handles" because I could and because it...

I still have the other half but no plans to use it at present. There is no concern about load handling. The 44 gallon Brute trash can is a beast. It has a 3/4" plywood board over top to spread the weight evenly across the trash can opening. The cooler is about 70 - 90 lbs with ice and...

Not directly on the barrel, but over it. The cooler / jockey box is supported by the wood board (with black Formica laminate). That board lays on top of the trash can.

Thanks everyone for your replies so far. I have done quite a bit of searching and found that the majority of the big names mentioned here (Victory pilsners for example) are reviewed as hoppy and dry compared to what I am looking for. Sierra Nevada Summerfest is a definite 'like'. It may not...

Could you name any domestic breweries in the US that produce something like a sweet German lager or pilsner? The popular types of lagers and pilsners I would categorize the taste as would be: Paulaner Original Munich, Warsteiner Premium Verum, or Bitburger Premium Pils. Despite Weihenstephan...

Folks, I've asked several jockey box questions here/elsewhere and mostly just learned through failure. I'm happy to say my little trash can kegerator project has been finished and it finally works as well as I had hoped. Below are the details with pics. Enjoy. The main concept was based...

I know I'm asking for help here, but I disagree with both of these statements. I could be wrong. You can't cheat physics and gravity in terms of filling the coil from one side verses the other. There will the same amount of rise and fall throughout the entire passageway no matter how it is...

I'm not a beer expert but I've been reading about line balancing since buying a kegorator in 1996. To answer why my pressure was so high, every article I read about jockey boxes with 50+ feet of coil suggest somewhere between 25-35psi. The additional resistance of 50 extra feet of small ID...

Thank you for your reply. The keg is covered in ice/water and the container is well insulated. Your 8ft of 3/16" tubing suggestion would work about the same way as a kegorator. That's fine, but I was hoping that all this talk about how great jockey boxes are, along with keeping the beer...

Hi, I don't really know where to go for improvement on my outdoor trash can keg setup. Hopefully a description of my goal, system, and results can help this kind forum to suggest changes. My goal is to dispense several kegs over the course of 5-7 days and not waste a bunch of beer via...
