As for doing it without CO2 pumps, you could. Just make sure to use beer gas, whatever your supplier has. I want to say the standard is 20% Nitrogen and 80% CO2. I considered that option but I did not want to play around with the pressure. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

The pump on the glycol chiller is a rather stout one, not sure of its specs but it looks like one that is used in some of the electric brewing set ups. It is a 1/4 horsepower pump. Whatever pond pump you are considering, multiply the current draw by the voltage (120) to obtain the power in...

Haha! This will be my test to see what the response is. If she freaks out, not the right one. If she asks what's on tap and suggests a craft brew, we have a winner! Ha

Single and loving not fighting/arguing over simple things like having a draft beer tower at the kitchen sink!

No, it is not vented. The gas stays in the "sealed" keezer. Not ideal but as long as you don't stick your head in the keezer and huff away you are OK. I have put my head in to get a correct reading on the regulators and I am still here.

Well, I am done. Pouring beers without a problem now. Cheers!

Well...power is equal to current times voltage. So to give you a rough stimste at 120 volts over one hour is a half hour if running. So I would guesstimate over an hour to be 960 watts. To figure how much it costs for a month multiply the 960 watts by the kw hour.

I have everything done and a 1/2 keg of Yuengling and a 1/6 keg of Arrogant Bastard on tap. Still playing the pressure game with the CO2 to get a good pour. I think I was too anxious last night and wanted a perfect pour as soon as I got the kegs out of my truck and into the basement, even if...

Good write up. I was there for the first several brew days...the end result was fantastic. I will eventually be making a similar set up here in MD.

I didn't get as much done over the weekend as I had hoped. Taking in football with friends at some of the local watering holes put a damper on progress. I did get everything plumped in except the CO2 tank because I forgot to grab a line for it. But all that needs to be done for that is to...

Today after work I finished securing the tower to the sink, connected the lines underneath and ran the trunk down to the freezer. What sucked the most about what I did today was working under the sink. Not sure if any of you guys have ever had to for various reasons, but space is hard to come...

New member as of today but I have been reading the site for at least a year. I know a few are wondering why I would want to do this, but it all started with the sprayer at the kitchen sink. I never use it. I always thought it was a waste of space at the sink. I always wanted to replace it...
