New Tap Setup

Post by jtmwhyte » Sat May 14, 2016 9:16 pm

Long and short, my wife is expecting again in October and we needed to clear space out in the house. Got rid of my 4 tap fridge down to this little gem. Image

I had a tough time dialing in line lengths, but it's working well as if now. Got get a cozy made up to cover the hideous red co2 tank, but otherwise I'm happy with the end result
Nova Prime Taproom
Tap 1: Festa Brew Scotch Ale
Tap 2:
"Fill with mingled cream and amber,
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chamber of my brain -
Quaintest thoughts - queerist fancies
Come to life and fade away;
What care I how time advances?
I am drinking ale today." ~ Poe

Looks like a Danby 4.4... I geared one up four years back, bought the nice tower with Perlicks and never punched the hole fir them. Just ran Cobra taps until I picked up my True TDD1 (still mothballed) and my recent as new Danby 5.2 with a newly filled 20 lb. x 2 tanks. I got a corny to Sanke adapter set from Everwood Dave with new stainless corny gas and liquid connects and she's looking fine. Will post soon. Enjoy!
At Bat: several Czech Pils
On Deck: Cream Ale
In the Hole: Kolsch
Clean Up: Tall Ships Ale clones
On tap: Propeller Pils, Festa Cream Ale

It's a Danby 4.3 with the freezer compartment folded down. I have a temp controller keeping it at 6 Celsius and co2 plumbed through the back.
I also ran pipe insulation inside the tower (aside from the tower insulation and fitted copper tubing inside that from the taps down into the fridge. Getting way less foam on initial pours than before the switch
