How much clearance above the keg do I need in my Kergerator with this kit? I know I can use a 90 degree elbow on this vice the streight one.

It obviously depends on size of keg and refrgerator, but I would say a min of 3-4 inches. You dont want the main line crimped in any manner. It will disturb the flow of your beer causing more draw and pressure, hence more beer foam.

I actually wanted to know this myself, and I submitted this question to Krups. They wrote back and informed me that I would be unable to use a Heineken tap handle on the BeerTender. Needless to say, I was as bummed as I'm sure you will be. :-(

I will have to send you pictures of my set-up later on this week. Briefly I have three Weber carbs and a fuel distributional block from Mr. Gasket and I placed it upstream of this, but if you have fuel injection the pressure is about two or three times what the gauge will register

I haven't thought about it being used with beer before. The twist top fitting is designed specifically for water bottles. It is air tight. Granted I haven't been around a keg in a while so I can't say about the fittings. But if what you have or can adapt to a general five-gallon water bottle fitting, then I don't see why not.

not sure, you need to measure to make sure you have 6" clearance from the spit rod

With 1/6 of a keg it will fit. I have seen home made kegerators with the tank inside. Tape the hole in the back so no cold air gets out. Enjoy

You definitely want a higher flow for a 90. I have a 75 and the Hydor 1150. Flow is good, not to low and not too high. 1150 or the next size up would be better for a 90. I was told to aim at the surface of the water to encourage CO2 exchange and not blow your sand around.

Mine did. Be careful with these though. Make sure not to mix up the posts, poppits, or dip tubes. You may get different brands of keg, and the parts are not always interchangeable.

I have a 15.5 gallon keg with the top cut off. I have brewed a 12 gallon batch in it before with a 13 gallon start volume, had no issues at all. No flexing etc.

You can purge some air out with the CO injector......but i would worry about a ton of room at the top. Fermentation would cause more gas, and it could cause a big pressure build up.......which could go boom when you attach the tap.

You would need the accessory kit for any non-pressurized keg. I am even going one step further and getting nalgene plastic growlers from my favorite local brewer and directly tapping them. I had to engineer a rubber stopper with a hole in the middle that would fit the growler though. You might be able to buy something like that even. The reason: The growler is dishwasher safe and much easier to clean than those damn mini kegs.

I replaced a single tap with a double tap on my danby kegerator and it fits perfectly. I also added dual regulators to control both kegs. and the only issue I had was getting two lines of CO2 into the back. I had to replace the existing hose with a more flexible one and managed to get both through the hole. If you are not using dual regulators you can tee off on the inside. Hope this helps.

It goes on the bottom for the kegs to sit on. I recommend watching Edgestar's youtube videos about setup and maintenance. Very helpful--just search for edgestar kegerator.

My engine is a 90 mustang 302 roller engine with a first generation Torker 289 manifold. It fits in ok but your swing for timing adjustment is limited due to the diameter of the dist. base. The dist. is larger in diameter than the ford unit. This engine is on an engine stand all set. I have another unit running in a 351W setup. Same clearance issues as the 302. This was one of the best things done, it really runs good. Just remember it does have vacuum advance.

I use keggles. This one is heavier duty and a wider surface. If using kegs - get this guy.

Get the beer gun. This is used just for getting it from a kegerator tap. If you have a beer gun, you get ALL the options! I have both and use the beer gun more often.

Looks like the clearance is about 4 3/8" from top of curve to pipe center. Your clearance should be just enough.
