oops, for some reason i was thinking it was 40L not 30L :unsure:

haha she knows how much i paid for it, which is more than my previous beer fridge which i got for free and later punctured the gas line :(

i would love to get another fridgemate, just not sure how im gonna explain to the mrs why i need one after i recently bought the fridge :( but really i probably should, the kegs are sitting out of the fridge doing nothing, such a waste.

hi all, just wondering is there something that can be done about my newly purchased fridge which is too cold. its a relatively old frost free fredge without freezer, and even on the warmest setting its poping beers. i was putting up with it for a while as i just kept the beers away from the...

yeah i probably wasnt clear on 'another' fridge mate what i meant was a second one. got one for the fermenting fridge but maybe i should get one to control the beer fridge cause its too cold. so ill just carb the once frozen keg like normal and see how it goes when the other one is finished.

can i save it? story is i got a new beer fridge off ebay. its a good size but the problem is its too cold. its an oldish frost free fridge and if i put a bottle too close to the plate at the back it freezes. i deal with this by not putting them too close and just letting them sit when i take...

i just got home and turns out i wont need to take the keg out of the fridge to warm it up :( i walked into the garage to grab a beer from the fridge after a hot days work and its kaput. beer is still cold enough to drink but the fridge is dead. on one hand the fridge was free but i will now...

thanks for the detailed replies guys. ill read over these again when im home so i have more time to digest the info. but it seems like a good idea to take it out of the fridge and recarb. i didnt want to take it out as the beer has come up quite clear over time but id rather have good tasting...

butters, would the pressure still drop on its own over time? i burped it several times and its been sitting at 80 kpa for weeks. i realise this is probably old news for most people but for me its an issue :( its just wierd that i made the previous beer exactly the same except for the kit (same...

zabond, that is an interesting theory. i only have 2 kegs and have used each only a few times. i havent removed the dip tube for cleaning yet but i suspose its possible for it to crack. i guess i could sanitise something to take a sample.

yeah i certainly got the gas down to the reg pressure. i disconnected the gas and burped it it several times over a couple of days, and its been sitting at 80kpa for a few weeks untouched, still no love. i spose i should keep dropping the pressure and see how i go. the guy at the HBS said 10kpa...

sorry to dig up my old thread, but im still having issues :) i will look at the beer length chart when i get home but in the mean time ill just explain what ive done. i backed the pressure off to 80kpa, still pooring all head and tasting flat. i have about 2m of beer line, and previous kegs...

i might have to get a thermometer for the fridge so i can know for sure. i prefer not to shake the kegs as i dont rack to a secondary, just lager in the keg with gelatine. dont mind waiting a week for them to gas as i have to wait a few weeks to ferment then a few more to lager anyway :) ive...

thanks for all of the replies guys :) so it seems the consensus is its overcarbed. i will certainly try and release some pressure over the next few days and see how i go. i dont want to shake the keg because i lagered in the keg for 4 weeks and its crystal clear, dont want to spoil it. im...
