    Hi everyone....New here. Installed my Micro Matic 2 faucet conversion in garage fridge on Friday. On tap is 1/6 Harpoon IPA (already half gone). On deck soon is Baxter's Stowaway IPA. I've got to build a 4" wood platform for the bottom of my side by side Amana Fridge/Freezeer so I can fit two 1/6 kegs. Thank you for all the great info posted here. Pics to follow -S

    Thanks to all the good info here I was able to avoid many pitfalls and the Harpoon IPA was pouring great at 40F and 13 PSI. Thanks again folks.

            Above are the pics as promised. I'm building a platform for the bottom and will then be able to have two 1/6 at a time on tap with the CO2 inside. I will be setting it up for Guinness in the Fall provided it id available here in 1/6. -S

                Thanks STN, That is my sticker. I've run the past 9 Boston Marathons in a row. (Got stopped 1/2 mile from finish this year). I finished and installed the platform. In doing so, I discovered that there was less Harpoon IPA left than I thought. Only one thing to do: Order more! Coming tomorrow is Wachusett Light IPA....Review and more pics to follow.

                  Added the second 1/6 (Wachusett Light IPA). It's really good for a 4% ABV. I'm also considering putting the CO2 bottle outside with secondary regulators inside and adding a 3rd faucet (possible a Stout) with another gas bottle outside.

                      A very good friend hooked me up with a double knock down (secondary) regulator today. I moved my CO2 outside the fridge, drilled a hole for the gas hose (sealed with aquarium silicone), and mounted the double secondary inside. I can now dial in different pressures for each keg. I also now have room for a third 1/6 keg should I choose to put in another faucet (if Guinness becomes available here 1/6)

                          Where were you able to find the slim Guinness kegs? Are they available across the US? Thanks
