Comment on Brewing with Rainwater by Eric Dickinson

At last! Some information with relevant quantities of additives for rainwater. Living in a regional area of South Australia sometimes our town water is chlorinated, so this article was valuable to me.

What is the procedure in case of doing it the other way around, that is, to exclude an IP from the use of vpn?

Thanks, I have the same configuration. What if I would like to exclude a domain from this configuration and skip vpn for i.e. netflix leaving the rest with vpn?

Hey Jason!

1) I respect the keezer.
2) Dig the use of local ingredients but a full keg hope you had some help knocking out that hibiscus beer… five gallons sounds like a lot of boozy tea to me.
3) I really need some advice…

I’m getting married on Bermuda in 2.5 weeks, and I’ve been having the worst time finding beer on the island. The venues I’m dealing with all offer your basic amstel/corona/heineken and I’m trying really hard to have beers I want to drink at the rehearsal dinner… do you have any advice on that front? Feel free to drop me an email if you like I’m at districtalex at gee male dot com. THANK YOU!

In reply to Mick. The PVC pipe is connected to a small PC fan the just circulates the air inside, it's curved to not blow the cold air out when the top is opened! :-)

In reply to Jamie Bixler.

1) The collar top was sized measuring the gasket on the lids in order to get a good fit without blocking the lid form sealing. I’ll be different for every freezer.

2) On this one I attached using heavy duty foam mounting tape. On another one I build I used metal epoxy. I’d recommend either method as they both worked well.

3) I’m writing up a new keezer article that for the subsequent builds. The biggest change I did is a dual gas setup.

Hi, this is one of the best looking/designed keezers that I’ve seen! This is a showpiece that is simple, clean and professional. I am in the process of setting up my first keezer, and hope you can give me a few pointers and answer a couple of questions:
1) I read that you used 1X8’s to create the collar, what size did you use on the top of the collar. That was a great idea! After putting the foam in place it looks clean and professional.
2) How did you attach the drip tray? I can see it looks like there’s a bracket underneath, but not sure how you actually attached it to the freezer (same for the cap catcher too). Also, do you recall where you picked up your drip tray, they seem to vary greatly in price.
3) Would you have done anything different with your Keezer build?
Thanks for sharing!!!

great job on the keezer! That thing looks sharp and done very clean. I know you posted this a few years back but if you have any more specific information on the build you could share that would be great. I just came across a freezer that I want to convert for homebrews. Also, can you explain what the PVC pipe on the inside is? Dehumidifier?

thanks!
Mick

Woops, I was looking at the wrong measurement. (can you tell this is not my strong suit!) The latest Expedit shelving unit is 35×58 5/8″. I think that’s only a few inches wider than the previous version so maybe it will work for my height? (5’9″).

I would very much appreciate suggestions for how to determine the correct overall height of the desk for best ergonomics. 90 degree at the elbow? Anything else to keep in mind. (My husband will only build this once!)

Thank you!

Hello,
I’m a bit late to this conversation and have found that some of the IKEA products used no longer exist, like the Expedit book case. Now they only have a shelving unit that’s a whopping 58″ high. If anyone has an idea of a substitute please say so. I’m 5’9″ and have not done any measurements yet but I assume I can’t use what IKEA is offering right now for the supporting structure. I like the storage this gives rather than just having legs there. I want to leave my office as open as possible. Thank you.
