Originally I pitched the idea of holding a Workshop in Semptember that would feature a Temp Controller Box build...but it was a mild reception.
One thing that I alway hear people ask about in the brew house is Kegging and Kegs. I do have a keg that I need to rebuild and willing to turn this into a workshop where the class rebuilds it and we discuss the different parts, gaskets, functions, etc.
Thoughts?
I would attend this would we do a group buy of new gaskets?
Yes, we could easily do a group buy of gaskets as well.
I am definitely interested. Would it be possible for this workshop to also cover the mechanics/functionality of the keezer (for the purposes of serving and force carbonating)?
I would go to this. I have one or two that need re-built as well.
I'd go to this, looking to start kegging soon.
I would love to attend this to understand kegging better. Great idea!
I think this is a great idea. I haven't bought orings in years but aren't they less than $1 a piece? Or are you talking about new poppits, springs?
I can show my method for cleaning, sanitizing kegs and beer lines, taps as sell.
A while ago I ordered a large number of gaskets for kegs from McMaster to rebuild some of my kegs. I left all of the extra gaskets (the small ones for poppets and QDs you have to buy in bulk bags) in the plastic drawers in the front up by the bar. Wanted to make sure you knew so you didn't have to buy more.
Oh... my... god. Why haven't we done this? http://thechive.com/2013/09/17/guys-rig-up-buddies-plumbing-with-beer-wh...
1000% Interested in this.
I think this is worth noting in this thread that this is the perfect Kegging wrench, it ratchets and has both sizes you need for gas and liquid sides. I have one, and despite the fact its greazy from keg lube, its pretty great.

Ken, can I just come and watch/learn even if I don't have kegs?
Yes you can Jim. I'l going to make sure that everyone has a keg to work on, even if they do not own one.
Eh, I'll come and watch.
Awesome, I'm in! Don't have a keg yet either, but the operative word here is "yet."
