    used spike kettle and blichmann burner

    I found these off craigslist...haven't seen a pic yet but they supposed to be two years old and like new. The kettle is 10 gallon with the two vertical welded couplers. The blicmann burner has the upgraded legs instead of being on the ground. What would a solid deal on these be?

    Has anyone screwed up the wiring to their deep freezer?

    Thanks for everyone's help! You've managed to save my Keezer. I just cut out the thermostat and wired the plug straight to the compressor....simple. Cheers!

    Has anyone screwed up the wiring to their deep freezer?

    Thanks for your help! I was planning on using a Johnson controller that is just plug and play...which has a probe. I didn't want to mess with love controllers that you have to wire in. Is there any how to's or tutorials on bypassing or shorting them together? Cheers!

    Has anyone screwed up the wiring to their deep freezer?

    I managed to! I got a little too impatient and with my "I can do this" attitude and cold beer on my mind, without any thought or research and I think I screwed up big time.... The worse part is I have two deep freezers...one larger one that I bought...and one tiny one that I found on the side...

    Any Awesome Cy-Beer Monday Deals?

    Just wondering if anyone has come across any deals that they couldn't pass up on or wish they needed it? I'm looking for anything and everything... AIH had some sweet deals, but the S&H kind of kills some of the deals. Does anyone know the quality of their kettles? They have a 15g ss with 2...

    Carbonating and pressure questions!

    Indeed it is a miracle! Thanks! That helps out a lot. It seems like everything can be served at about the same PSI, but I don't know if I'd want my stout as bubbly as my wheat beer. I might just go with a secondary in the end...just for peace of mind... Thanks

    Carbonating and pressure questions!

    Thanks for the response. I am just wondering why I could want to hook it up to 4psi? Wouldn't I want to keep it at a constant psi to keep it carbonated? If I'm not carbonating my own brew, then should I just go with a manifold instead of a secondary regulator? Thanks!

    Carbonating and pressure questions!

    I was wondering if carbonating is only required for home brewing or does all beer need to be carbonated after being tapped and the CO2 is only needed to push the beer. Also, if it isn't necessary to carbonate store bought kegs...would it be beneficial to use a secondary regulator instead of a...

    Any DFW deals?!?!

    I was wondering if anyone knew of any brewery or festival deals... Sweet Jack has the Firewheel Brewery tour available still, which I've purchased. Deep Ellum Brewing Company is expected to return on July 19th. I missed out on the observer brewfest for $15....is anything still available? Thanks!

    525ss and shanks

    I was wondering if anyone knew where currently the best place is to purchase stainless steel Perlick 525 faucets and shanks are? I was going to purchase the 575ss but I've received negative feedback of them leaking. Also, I don't know which diameter of shanks I should purchase. Thanks

    Shank, tailpiece, and hose question.

    I was wondering if this would be fine... I planned on having 3 taps with 10ft of 3/16 vinyl each. I'm getting 4 1/8 size in length for my shanks but I don't know about the bore size of the shank and tailpiece. Should I go with a 3/16, 5/16, or 1/4? Thanks

    Tell me what you think about my equipment for my new setup!

    I thought the same thing, but I also noticed a lot of people average about 7ft. More is always better...I can always remove it. They didn't sell it in 10ft sections with the assembly but I can build my own for a little more. Does anyone else have any concerns with the Perlick 575ss faucets?

    Tell me what you think about my equipment for my new setup!

    I was thinking about ordering these products from beveragefactory.com, except the faucets and shanks (ebay). What do you think about it; deal, any improvements, forgetting anything, etc? Item - Quantity - Total 10 lb. Aluminum Co2 Tank - 1 - $79.68 Taprite T742 - Commercial Dual Gauge...

    Does anyone else have any input or suggestions on my primary regulator to go with this? Thanks!

    Was this a good deal?...3 bodied secondary regulator

    Thanks for the response. I'm trying to get everything piece by piece...I just didn't know if this was a really good deal. I've been seeing a lot of these new from supplies $150-/+. This seemed more commercial grade, but I couldn't find anything...and I didn't want to know I already messed up...

    Manifold vs Secondary Regulator?

    I'm still in the process of pricing and weighing my options to build my 3 tap keezer. I'm debating on whether I should go with a single bodied regulator/manifold system or a Double Bodied Regulator/3 Pressure Secondary Regulator system. Does it really make a difference and are there any superior...
