and after 7 years, we now have V2 :rockin:

Might be a bit extreme but would be plenty big enough to do the job - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008MLK3LU/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

peristaltic pumps for the win...albeit not as cost effective as a march pump, but you would have no fear at all being able to see inside the tubing.

Left to right: Apfelwein(Hard Cider), Pliny the Elder IIPA, American Wheat Ale, Stone IPA. In total, about 20 gallons of fermentation in process. Now the hard part, waiting for it to be ready..but then its :mug:

I started to attach the casters directly to the fridge..but i wasnt sure the metal on the bottom was thick enough to withstand the forces of the 5 gallon kegs. So, i ended up building a small dolly cart..nothing too special about it, just a platform with some tight fitting sides acting like cleats.

Yep, I drilled through the 4 balls and inserted a 5/16" threaded rod lol..that sounds bad. Coated the threaded rod with epoxy and slid the balls on like a beef kabob. THen obviously drilled a bigger hole in the bottom ball for the thread insert.

Dang, thats disappointing. One would think that if the beer faucets are actually made to pour beer, they would be able to do the job well. :(

First, a big thanks to the HBT guys that posted excellent directions on how to make this possible. Took major guts for me to tear the top off and start carving out insulation. I guess it wouldnt have been a big deal if it were an old fridge....but a new one with a stainless front...phew - glad...

just finished brewing this recipe @ about 3pm, as of right now @ 6:13pm...its bubbling away. Cant wait to try this one out..looked so good already, even gave it a swig after chilling. So sweet yet, sooooooo bitter, cant get the taste out of my mouth. :drunk:

nicely done, love the addon for the temp probe. Those look like hockey shin pads in one of the photos...hockeyplaying homebrewer...just like me :rockin:

yea, there is always a plan B, i had the push connect fittings on hand and comp fittings, just no silicone o-ring atm.

Has anyone used "push to connect" fittings to do their sight glass? Just wondering if they will hold up to the repeated removal of the sight glass when cleaning the keggle. for reference: www.mcmaster.com part #: 5483K41

Still a work in progress...although it works quite well. Typical RIMS setup with dual peristaltic pumps

+1 on this bulkhead design, worked great..no leaks. Little tricky to silver solder the washer to the copper fitting but it was kinda like sweating regular copper, just alot hotter.

yep, gotta 2nd this recomendation..heck of alot easier than drilling a 7/8" hole in stainless, lots faster and alot easier.
