ozdevil Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 A handy tool for those that dont have scales or poor eyesight that cant see the condensation lines when filling and want to do closed transfers is a keg filler stopper which will set you back $12.95 + $4.45 for duotight plastic Gas disconnect or $9.99 for the S.S gas disconnect from kegland the reason for the 2 disconnects i mention will give you a 90° angle wheres the normal plastic disconnect are angled differently and wont be at that 90° https://www.kegland.com.au/duotight-flow-stopper.html 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not know you could do that. I thought the top end had to be open. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamus you could do that or use a spunding valve like you would normally do All this contraption will do is shut off when full so your basicly adding a 1 way valve if that makes sense 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I have a dumb question being new to kegs, at what temperature do you keep your fridge- for those that have taps drilled into the door ? As I have said my old Westinghouse is going to be drilled to house 4 taps, while I am waiting it has been completely cleaned out & working fine except I have had to turn it down to almost the lowest setting, probably because it doesn't have much in it. I noticed a couple of longnecks were almost at freezing point, so I assume you could also freeze a keg which hardly sounds ideal. Yes I will clean the temp knob, I expect the reading on the thermometer will go up a bit now I have moved it from position 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a keezer with 4 taps drilled into it, I generally run mine at 3 degrees, even then I’m getting some ice build up on the walls. ‘With the fridge try 3 degrees first, then play around with it if you need to raise or lower the temp, also depends on its location. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers RD, I reckon if I invest in a decent thermometer it will sort itself out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmar92 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 My kegerator is set at 1°. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Well I suppose at some point down the track I will find out the best temp for my home made kegerator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussiekraut Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 The kegerator is set to 2 but usually sits around 3. Those holes in the back for the gas lines are taking their toll, despite the blue tack well, the faux one from Kmart and it is in all actuality melting. I noticed the other day there are blobs of this stuff on the floor behind the kegerator. I have to use the good stuff to seal it properly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today we are kegging the Coopers Real Ale, stay tuned for the first photos of this epic event 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I was wondering how long some of you give your beer in the keg before pouring, ( this is a k & k Real Ale ) obviously my first keg has only been in the fridge for 24 hours, the gas is set on 12psi. I was told about a week but I get the feeling the urge to try my first tap beer is going to become greater so I will try & be strong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
