Here is a closer look at the top of our keg. The fittings inner diameter are about 1/4th inch. The coolant tube is about 3/8ths of an inch. Thus restricting your coolant flow. I opted for that reason and the fact I didn’t want to track down fittings to simply drill holes in the top of the keg and silicone them . |

One trick that I learned from reading some forums was to cut the hose at a 45 degree angle to encourage a less restricted flow. Worst case if its like rubbing a screw through your hair to lubricate it with the natural oils… or blinker fluid, or blowing bad bits out of a cable then at least it insured the hose wont lay flat on the bottom of the tank and cut off flow. |

Next up we filled this up with coolant and distilled water. As with the bathroom make sure you aim. Its fairly straight forward unless you emptied the keg your using first.

Finally we mounted the filled tank into the fridge, connected the coolant lines, and sealed them. 2 tips we found here. The silicone doesn’t like to cure in a cold environment. Let it cure 24 hours or so before you start to chill the tank. Secondly with the thermostat cranked to the coldest setting allow 24 hours for the fridge to chill the keg as well as the fridge its self. I recommend if you have the ability to add the shelf back in and stock it with drinks that you do so at the first cooling or let it run overnight well stocked.
