Now Important Things



The Keg-O-Rator is flowing! We converted a GE 7.0 cf Freezer into a keg-o-rator by adding a 6" red oak collar to the base of the freezer with liquid nails and re-locating the lid hinges up onto the collar. Temperature is controlled via a Johnson Controls analog controller - there is a temp probe inside of the freezer and the freezer plugs into an outlet attached to the controller which cycles the freezer on and off as needed. Right now it is set at 34 degrees but i might drop it down a bit colder. It can hold 3 - 5 gallon Cornelius (soda) kegs, we will be adding extra taps very soon. First beer on tap is a Dry Irish Stout that we made. Very delicious and roasty, lots of coffee/chocolate flavors with this one. I plugged it into the C02 at 12psi, shook it around a bit, and let it sit for two nights and the beer is already carbonated nicely.
