Pass one my way!

I am in the process of setting up a new craft beer store that will serve take home growlers. I plan to have 20 taps. I setup my own system at home with 3 taps and I am assuming that the same principals apply to commercial lines. The keg cooler will share a wall with the taps to reduce line...

Took a taste and didn't taste anything buttery. With a lager do you prime for carbonation in the keg or will that not work with the cold temps? Regular co2 method once it's closer to being ready to drink or should I put it on co2 while lagering? Thanks for the response. Still a noob here...

I am attempting my first lager. I fermented in an unfinished room in my basement with a temp around 55 degrees. I moved it to secondary on Sunday but temps were a little higher the last few days. I cleaned out a spot in my fridge so I could get the temp down around 40 degrees. When should I...
