    Range Hoods

    I'm starting up a basement brew area with a Avantco IC3500 and 8 gallon kettle. I read a few other posts but most people have a larger setup than me. Can someone with a similar setup let me know what type of range hood they use and their personal experience? Is 300 or 400 cfm going to keep...

    Standing Desk Brew Stand?

    I'm working on layout for my small electric basement brewroom. I don't have the room or hardware for a 3 tier brew stand. I was thinking I could use a standing desk I have laying around to raise/lower my mashtun to appropriate height to allow gravity to help me out with moving liquids. Any...

    Concrete Brew Room Countertop?

    Starting to plan my basement brew room. I see a lot of stainless counters, but was going a more DIY route. Want to avoid wooden counter so it'll last a bit longer and was thinking concrete on a wood base? Anyone done or seen that? Any cons? In design of your brew room, any things you think...

    Gluten Free Hefeweizen

    I've removed gluten from my diet and really missing a nice hefeweizen this summer. I've been toying with brewing beer for a while, buying parts of a system over time and I think I'm ready to give it a try. I am thinking I will try to work from this recipe: Successful Witbier Recipe Many...

    Keezer v2.0

    Hey guys. Been a few years since I built my keezer. I moved and now have a basement and want to start brewing and decided to build a new bar to surround my freezer with the knowledge I have now. My last keezer, I built a setup based on many I've seen here with the tiled top and wooden...

    Foamy Beer

    I bought a couple kegs a few weeks ago and hooked em into my keezer. They are both pouring mostly foam. I looked through some threads and tried some troubleshooting on my own with no luck. It doesn't seem much better on the second pour. My pressure was set at 12psi and freezer is around 33...

    First time using StarSan

    I cleaned out my beer lines and now I want to sanitize. Do I mix the starsan with water before pumping it through? if so how much water vs starsan? Do I leave it in the lines a certain amount of time? Thanks!

    What to do with 1/2 barrel keg

    A friend of mine had someone who came to his house bring a keg for a party. The person never took it and after 6 months he asked if I wanted it. So, now I have an empty 1/2 barrel. I have a keezer bar at home that'll hold a 1/2 barrel plus a pony keg so I tried contacting some local...

    Cleaning Commercial Lines

    I saw a sprayer someone made here to clean their lines, but to make one for commercial kegs, I'd need different adaptors.. Since this is my first keezer, I've never done this before. I read some people soak their lines (I assume this means they take them apart, not just pressurize cleaning...

    line length on keezer

    i tried googling and found an article on it, but it went a little over my head when it got to elevation of the taps and stuff..so i was curious what length beverage lines you are running on your keezers? i bought 11 ft lines so i don't go too short..but im pretty sure I should probably cut...

    Build Issue - Help Troubleshoot

    I'm building a keezer. I plan on routing my beer lines through a hole in the top but built a collar anyway so I can fit another keg on my compressor hump. Unfortunately, the collar is only 3" which didn't bring my hinges up high enough to completely clear the freezer. closed flush, the top...

    Keezer and keg size question

    The beer I want to put in my keezer is available in 30L size at minimum (just over 16" in diameter)..my freezer interior is about 15 inches I've seen the interior of kegerators get gutted for projects. Can I cut the plastic inside of a GE 7 cu ft freezer to fit this? will it ruin the performance?

    My Keezer Build

    After some research, it turns out I need the exact opposite of what I thought. I'm making a keezer instead of a kegerator, and will built a bar around it. I'm going with a 7 cu. ft. GE freezer from PC Richards. Hoping to purchase my tap hardware later on today because it's going to be a...

    Whats the popular fridge for DIY kegerator

    I'm finally starting a project of building a kegerator into a simple small bar area. Half a year ago when I was looking into it, Fridgadaire had a pretty popular model but it seems to have been discontinued. Anyone know where they're still available? or newer models that will fit 2 corny's +...

    Kegerator Newbie with a Project

    I'm just hatching an idea to put a double tap in a countertop ill be making shortly. I'm very new to the custom kegerator scene and could use some advice from people who've done it. 1) do you save much money making your own vs buying a premade unit? what is a ballpark figure. 2) where...
