That's pretty cool Keith. I was also able to get the 4th keg in there by coiling up the lines as jacinthebox suggested. :mebeer:

Awesome! I'm getting so anxious for the new perlicks and tap handles.

I found a Barking Squirrel tap in ontario. Having it shipped down pending it didn't sell from his store on the weekend. Will go nice with my Shock Top that is in transit.

So I've decided the lineup that should hit Stanley's new taps. Will be focusing on clearing out the old inventory once I run the Air lines, and hopefully start brewing once I find some descent clone recipes.

Tap 1: DFH 60 Minute IPA Clone
Tap 2: Lagunitas Imperial Red Ale Clone
Tap 3: Allagash White Clone
Tap 4: McAuslan Cream Ale Clone
Tap 5: Alt Bier

***
Updating Line Up due to other recipes \ kegs waiting.
Tap 1: Pacific Jade Belgian IPA, then DFH 60 min
Tap 2: My Amber, then Stone levitation clone
Tap 3: Allagash White Clone
Tap 4: Twisted Metal Mower (Using Calypso Hops), couldn't locate a McAuslan Cream Ale clone.
Tap 5: Alt Bier

Looks like I have a means to manage the beer and air lines. Should keep them out of the way.

Picking up the rest of the needed pieces to bring Stanley back to life. Getting the beast ready for the perlicks. Need to get my kit order put together once I know the recipes.

4-1/8" Chrome Shank with Tailpiece
Stainless Steel Flange
Regulator Gauge. 0-2000 PSI Gauge
Stainless Steel Air Line Tee - 3/8" Barb
Ball Lock Keg Gas Disconnect - Barbed
Ball Lock Keg Liquid Disconnect - Barbed

Also need to get some new air and thick walled beverage line. Will be measuring the lengths I need.

Anyone have any recommendations on where to buy 9/16" Inner Diameter Rubber Grommets locally? Tried 3 places tonight with no success.

Line management is in place. Should make changing kegs easier.

Princess auto had the grommets. :)
Stanley is hurting. But will be tip top soon. I also noticed I need to replace the flanges. But doing that when I install the new taps.

I'm so anxious haha. Fortunately by the time they arrive, I'll have a nice lineup on tap. Possibly Due to not being able to find clone recipes, and having other kits still here to brew. Here's an update to the lineup.

Tap 1: Pacific Jade Belgian IPA
Tap 2: My Amber (possibly a Stone levitation clone)
Tap 3: Allagash White Clone
Tap 4: Twisted Metal Mower (Using Calypso Hops), couldn't locate a McAuslan Cream Ale clone.
Tap 5: Alt Bier

It works, however I need to get some stronger adhesive.

Will you pass by Sackville? If so pop in for a pint. :) How many do you want? If I don't have enough here I can grab a couple more tonight.
