    With the insulation, you are simply trying to match or exceed the R-value of what is in there, which I think I concluded was around R-10. I used fiberglass insulation initially because expandable foam it messy... when it's not used in a joint or enclosed area it's a free-forming mess. I say...

    Recommend an alternative to Micromatic Regulator Seat Tool

    Has anyone ever found an alternative to this tool? I have collected a lot of nifty tools over the years, but I won't buy a hundred dollar screwdriver. I'm sure Micromatic knows this... it's cheaper for a consumer to buy a new replacement regulator TWICE than to buy the parts and their tool. Dave

    Thanks elganso... yes, cutting too close would have probably made it more difficult to seam back up. To continue on what you said--for Brizzo's benefit--I didn't use Great Stuff like a lot of other builders. It really is GREAT for a lot of situations, but it expands too much and is too messy. I...

    I kinda followed the natural edge of the plastic bevel... cutting into it at the point where it flattened out: Dave

    I have had this recently due to the unbelievable humidity we've had in New York over the past few weeks. Luckily, both kegs kicked at the same time so I ended up defrosting the whole thing before I re-stocked. I think some people have set up their kegerator on a timer so that it turns off for...
