Hi All

I'm working on my new keezer and having a little trouble with my ETC-300 Temperature Controller. It all seems like it should be easy :?

A chest freezer will use a *lot* less power.

My Kegerator based around a F&P chest freezer:

That's a beautiful looking fridge(Freezer).... I'm in the process of making one just like it using the F&P 215L Freezer.... How did you fix ...

Right...... been awile...... the results - rainforest creek water does a fine brew through the winter.... come the summer (wet season) multiple failings again......tried 130um filter...not small enough to take 'old sock effect' out of the water.. the cure was 130um (which i now had to do the whole ...

Right.... so worst case scenario is I'll have some beer that's more suited to spreading (pouring) on toast than drinking but chances are it'll be ok.
Thanks All. I'll post result when in.

Hi All

Not strictly kegging related to most but, necessity has forced me to do this :x .
Picture this - I have finally stopped drinking warm (to hot beer) - now there is a fridge to put my keg system in :D but - power is an issue to run the fridge :cry: , because I'm living the renewable power ...

Cheers rwh - thanks for the info!

In my case 300kpa/.75 = 400kpa ...

Hi All
Right here we go again..... :(

Can anyone help with some pressures for gassing with nitrogen.

I have checked out BOC and they have a 75 - 75% Co2 + N mix and a 55 - 55% Co2 + Nitrogen mix.

If anyone can tell me how long to gas with each they will receive a nice dark ale with a delicious ...

I agree, rainwater would be my choice if i wasnt lucky enough to be able to get purified water from work...

Otherwise see if you can get one of those canister water filters that fits onto the tap. this means you can get bulk filtered water and can justify buying one because your partner can use ...

Water directly from a rainforest creek sounds romantic but tastes awful (actually the water tastes great - but the beer it makes tastes like old sock with vinegar overtones!). I have recently returned to the world of HB after a long absence due to failed brews from bad water management and loving it ...
