Where does your hose attach to? Does it just sit in the tower?

Buford said:Insulation isn't refrigeration. Regardless of how well your box cools, the colder air will always be at the bottom and you'll have a temperature gradient towards the top. Also, towers are narrow and have pretty much no airflow inside them, so the air that warms inside them tends to stay there.
It's not the air that we're worried about. It's the keg lines and beer that remains in them that we want to cool with a blower assembly. My system is MUCH better (far less "first pour foam") with the blower installed. In fact, it even makes the taps cold to the touch!pldoolittle said:The beer travels up from the bottom of the corny (max cool), and the tiny air volume has nearly zero thermal mass to contribute heat to the beer.

BeerCanuck said:Just wondering if the co2 lines were fed into the tower with the corresponding beer out lines in some form of heat exchanger would work?
Still not sure if this theory is sound

I am planning on using a blower fan from an old PC. What you think about using one of these?
