Dismiss Notice For a limited time, get 12 extreme beers delivered to your door. How long does 5lb CO2 last? Twerner Initiate 0 Sep 12, Washington.
I cant believe I'm still on my original 5lb CO2 tank since busting open this kegerator 6 months ago? I've had a pretty steady supply of beer in there. What's normal for time or kegs you get out of one CO2 tank? Should I preemptively change it now so it doesn't ruin any beer? I don't have a meter on gas remaining.
JohnnyChicago Initiate 0 Sep 3, Illinois. Ice that has deposited on the evaporator is automatically defrosted when the compressor cycles off. The defrosted water collects in the water drip tray located on the top of the compressor in the rear of the unit and then evaporates.
However, if the door is often opened or you are using your kegerator in a humid area, excessive ice may build up on the evaporator.
In this case, turn off the unit and allow the ice to melt once your keg is empty. Be careful to soak up the excess water with a towel. Cleaning your kegerator is pretty simple. You will want to use a kegerator cleaning kit to flush your beer lines, as well as clean your faucet and keg coupler. It is recommended that you clean these components after you finish a keg. Plagued by a chronic case of curiosity, Jeff Flowers is just a dude that annoys everyone around him with his loquacious goofiness.
From beer to home living, Jeff is just trying to hack his way through life and write a few notes about it along the way. You can follow his ramblings here, or listen to him complain about Austin traffic on Twitter at Bukowsky. You apparently need to correct the video where the lady indicates the holding capacity of the Edge Star kegerator. She indicates near the end that it will hold 2 -6 barrel kegs..
I purchased two kegerators as gifts. The one to my son-in-law has a problem. About every half hour or sooner, it bangs and quite loud.
Sounds like a hammer hitting a nail. Would like to know what is causing this. It is very annoying. Purchase was made in July. Thank You! I just started my kegerator today. I am having a lot of trouble with foam. I have turned down the psi to about 8. Any thing I should check?
The tubing came pre attached. Could the couplings need to be tightened? Any help would be great. I had a similar problem when I built my kegerator. I ended up getting a longer beer line and upping the pressure to 12PSI the longer beer line slowed down the liquid preventing it from blowing foam. Hey mate, is it possible to have a hose line with some kind of dispensing gun on the end rather than having taps secured to a bench or the top of a fridge?
I have a kegerator and after 24 hrs still have alot of foam and the beer taste a little flat what are your recomandfations I have a kegerator and have alot of foam after 24 hrs of set up and the beer taste a little flat any suggustions?
Do you have to use co2 with a kegerator or can you use a pump tap. I want to get a pony kegerator without co2 and use a pump tap. A pump tap will work fine to get the beer out. However, I would strongly recommend using CO2 or Nitrogen as your beer will retain its flavor and aromas for significantly longer. If you use a manual pump tap, your beer will likely go bad within a day or two.
This is because you are putting oxygen into the keg, which in turn, will cause your beer to go flat… quickly. If you feel like you can drink it all within that time frame, then a manual pump will work for you. It looks great. Is if possible to drill throughthe back Beneath P existing gas line location So i can have 2 direct lines hobby shop asked if i had schematic of machine as they were apprehensive of drilling R If u can suggest best place to drill For xtra line many thanjs Sammy.
Voltage: V, 1. Our new dual tap kegarator that we bought er in December keeps making a loud popping noise? What is causing this??? This is likely due to the cold plate hitting the back wall as it expands. We indeed have a fix for this issue. Please give our customer service team a call at They can direct you on how to fix this much better than I ever could. What do I need to do to put in a half barrel?
In fact, I often find myself in the same situation with my dual tap. Whenever I only have one keg hooked up, I just disconnect and clean the beer lines and all the other components.
Depending on the type of regulator you have, you should turn off the shut-off valve to prevent the CO2 tank from distributing gas through that line.
I have purchased a Great Northern Brand Frosty Keg Kegerator and the unit does not cool itself at all and have no idea what is wrong? Any suggestions on what is wrong and what actions should be taken and how much would this cost me?
Question is: Is it possible to run just one keg without doing anything special to the other line coupler which not in use? There is no shutoff mechanism on the T fitting. I got a commercial-sized kegorator off a friend who I helped move! I need the model number to sell it! Where could I find the model number?
What is the best way to transition through the counter in a built in use? Is there a part out there? The tower is cooled, so I need a way to connect the box and the tower. I try to run it at around 4psi but seems to be too high still.
Still get a lot of foam. You might try nitrogen instead of CO2 CO2 is what puts the fizz in soft drinks. I recently bought a micro matic unit which is built into cabinetry. Still not doing the trick. Thinking I need an narrow square in-line fan to force the warm air out.
Any idea on what product or where to buy such a product? Hey just recently bought an edge star kegerator, and have a Everyone i had talked to said to crank it up to the highest setting on 6… but now our keg tastes like crap and we are experimenting with the temperature to see what the sweet spot is.. I would recommend giving our product experts a call at They will be able to get all the info they need and help walk you through the process of getting it back to pouring and serving the way it should be.
As well as give you some further tips on how to prevent it from happening in the future and other ways to get the most out of your kegerator. All three of our kegs leak when attached to the kegerator.
They are leaking where they attach to the keg. Is it possible to connect 2 of the single gauge co2 regulators that came with the setup to provide co2 at different pressures to 2 corney kegs? I recently cleaned my lines and installed a new keg. Two days later no flow at all found co2 empty 4th keg so expected.
I shut c02 tank off and replaced the next morning. I have un done everything thing again cleaned lines still same issue. I have temp about degrees pressure between psi. Is it possible the beer went bad its un drinkable. Please Help! How much clearance should I have for venting if I have a freestanding kegerator under the bar top? A lb CO2 tank will dispense between full kegs per fill. Some CO2 leaks are easier to detect than others, as you will be able to hear a slight hissing noise coming from the system.
Another sign of a leak is when the PSI level regularly drops overnight. Before you test for leaks, disconnect the beer keg and lower the PSI level to zero while keeping the CO2 tank engaged in the ON position.
Spray the concentration onto the various connections in your system. If they start to bubble, there is a leak and the connection is not secure. Or, submerge the draft beer parts in water one by one and see if they start rapidly bubbling.
To fix these leaks, ensure that the small parts such as the nylon washer in the regulator and rubber washers, used in all fittings where two pieces of metal are coming into contact, are not damaged or missing. After you have done your checks and repairs, reconnect your entire system and set the PSI level to If there are still leaks, the CO2 tank level in the high pressure gauge will go down within minutes.
The ideal pressure for most beer is between PSI, with the variation based on the carbonation level of the beer style being served, temperature, and altitude. Wheat beer, Belgians, and sours are poured at much higher pressures than ales.
Temperature can affect the required PSI as well. If the temperature of your keg rises a few degrees, you will need to raise the PSI level accordingly. Adjust the dispensing pressure by 1 PSI for every 2 degrees. Elevation also plays a factor, as it will lower the PSI value displayed on the low pressure gauge.
Raise the dispensing pressure by 1 PSI above standard for every 2, feet above sea level. A well balanced system will take approximately eight seconds to fill a pint glass or one minute to pour a gallon of beer.
Your beer may be over-carbonated if it presents a sharp, acidic taste and smell, very small bubbles resembling seltzer water, and a rough texture.
