Slow process, but almost there.
« on: August 03, 2011, 09:36:53 PM »
Wasn't in a rush to get it done either...but with tracking down the right fittings, part, etc.. finally somewhat done of the gas setup.

old gas setup..


newer setup..


with three taps...and "drip tray"...have to make another drip tray as someone knocked that one off and destroyed it...


Not as nice and fancy as Thomas' , but it'll do for now.


cheers :cheers:

Nice, are you using a nitro or beergas setup with the stout faucet?

Also, where did you buy that faucet, best deal I can find at the moment is about $100.

good for you, Kijiji has great deals from time to time. How well does it work with just the C02? I've been thinking about getting the full nitro setup, but if it's fine with standard gas setup, I'll do it alot sooner. Also thinking of trying a Perlick Creamer Faucet instead of the stout faucet, such as:

I have 3 Perlick 525's and they work beautifully.

i'm still trying to get it dialed in...before the regs were put in, all i had was to hit the keg with gas here and there and pour....now its hooked up to a reg, i haven't tried it yet or got it setup, but hopefully soon.

Yes there's condensation...more so in the summer. I'm currently trying some Silica crystals....not sure if its working or not. I picked up the stuff at the pet stores...couldn't find damp rid...but basically silica crystals or decadent(sp) should work.
