Well I got the it down to 40 degrees at the tap. I plumbed the blower motor to copper pipe in the freezer and it is ran all the way to the tap inside the pvc. Then the beer line all the way to the tap will be in copper....I did it all in copper and soldered everything to seal it. But I did that...

Well I put that reflective insulation that you guys recomended. I turned on the fridge and ran it. I got the fridge down to 39 degrees. But that pipe was only at 70 degrees. My blower came in yesterday I put that it and were the tap would be I got it down to 57 degrees. The hose for the blower...

it was just a haze. They all cleaned up perfect....I just ran them all through the dish washer. Thanks for the help guys.

I will try the vinegar tomorrow and hope it helps. I stuck my pinkey inside and I dont really feel anything inside. maybe alittle just past the bottle cap.

You can see a little white hazing on the bottles in the water....that's the little pits on the bottles from the etching

I never did bulk bottling before and needed bottles. I bought some Abita and Dos Equis. I soaked them over night in borax and baking soda...I didn't have oxyclean. The labels were still partly on but came off with very little effort. But the bottles are now etched. They have a texture and can be...

Thanks. Ill pick some of this up and monitor my temps at the tap. Thanks for help guys.

Thanks guys. There's been a lot of hardwork put into this basement. Can't wait till everything is done. The Mario is a decal kit the wife found online.

Here's some pics of what I did today. I wont be able to do much in the next week or so but did quite a bit. Still more to do.

Thanks. I found a guy he sells a 39cfm blower motor with a hose. I planned on using that. Plus insulate the hell out of the outside of the pipe. I will be hooking everything up in the next week or 2 before the counter tops here just to see how well it cools and its easier to change before the...

Did some more work today. Got the cabinets partially completed. The tall one will be a wine rack. Picked up some 3" PVC to run my lines in. Still have to figure out some insulation. Also got a 3 1/2" hole saw to blow a hold in the wall and the fridge in the closet next to the bar....can wait to...
