I think it should be fairly simple to adapt to corny kegs (in fact there is a picture of the fridge filled with corny kegs.) You have QDs for the kegs, so you have the connectors needed on the keg side. You also need hoses and connectors to connect the keg to the tower and to CO2: to beer in on the tower: push 6-10' of 3/16" beer line over the barbed beer ...

It's actually kind of difficult to use those kegs for serving, which is why you'll generally see homebrewers using 5 gal. keg for serving and reworking the 1/2 bbl. kegs into kettles. To use the to serve, you need to remove the ring and spear, clean them, and then fill them. You need to get the appropriate fittings for gas and serving. You might want to ...

Do you know what Biogon is? Great mixture of CO2 and Nitrogen. We use it in Czech Republic, but I do not know if it is available in the USA. CO2 keeps the carbonation, Nitrogen preserves it, so it is a great combination. I think it is called Mixed Gas in your country

Force carbonating is the main reason you'd want to have a dual regulator, but I'd rather have two co2 tanks, each with their own regulator. I use one tank for force carbonating 1-2 kegs, and I have another tank for serving 3 kegs. I prefer this set up because when one tank is empty, I can easily switch over to the other tank. No need to suffer without beer ...

I have a buddy who did this for several years before investing in a beer fridge. Its not ideal, but it works. The main difference to remember is that C02 becomes more soluble in liquid as the liquid drops in temperature, and less as it rises. So this means you'll need to push more C02 in to carbonate room temp kegs than cold ones.

The soda fountain mixes syrup and soda water, a beer tap strictly dispenses beer. If you were able to get the fountain to flow without adding water, and could properly control the pressure of the beer being dispensed I suppose it could work. The small syrup channels would probably cause you to use too much pressure for a good flow rate, which may cause ...

You can use old, reconditioned Pepsi and Coke kegs (ball-lock and pin-lock respectively) for beer. All you need to dispense beer from these types of keg is: the Keg, CO2, tubing from CO2 to Keg for pressurization, tubing from Keg to spigot/tap/or whatever to your cup. While a traditional setup for the soda machine would not work I would assume that if you ...

That dual regulator is only necessary if you want beers at different carb levels. For the most part though I have never needed that set up. I have a simple single regulator and a 4 point manifold. Each point has its own on off switch. So when I want to dispense beer they are all open, but if I am carbing up a new beer, I close down three of them and carb ...

Damprid no-doubt is an effective solution to the excess moisture condensing in the fridge HOWEVER this is simply a band-aid solution to temporarily correct the symptoms of the problem and not a cure. If you have an excess of humidity in your climate, AND frequently open the door, it's possible the moisture is naturally collecting in your kegerator however ...
